Hi , i wanted to know when we have synced our project to github how are we using attachments in that case … where should we add the attachment and what filepath should be used .
When you sync your Pipedream project to GitHub, handling attachments requires a bit of manual management since the synchronization focuses on your project’s code. Here’s how you can work with attachments in this scenario: 1. Add the attachment to your GitHub repository: You should manually add the attachment (e.g., a CSV file) to your GitHub repository in the appropriate directory. This ensures that the file is part of your project and gets synced along with your code. 2. Reference the attachment in your Pipedream workflow: Since your project is synced with GitHub, you’ll need to reference the file path relative to the root of your GitHub repository. However, when running the workflow in Pipedream, you need to ensure the file is accessible. If the file is static and doesn’t change, you could upload it to the Attachments section of your Pipedream workflow and reference it using steps.trigger.context.attachments["filename.ext"]. 3. Use the file in your workflow: If you’ve uploaded the file to the Attachments section in Pipedream, you can access it as shown below. If the file is only in your GitHub repo, you might need to clone the repo or directly access the file from GitHub within your workflow. ```
import fs from “fs”; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // If the file is an attachment in Pipedream const fileData = fs .readFileSync(steps.trigger.context.attachments[“filename.ext”]) .toString(); console.log(fileData); // If accessing the file directly from GitHub or another location, // you might use an HTTP request or a specific GitHub action to fetch the file content. }, })
When you upload a file to the File Store in a Pipedream Project, the file is stored within the Pipedream infrastructure and does not have a traditional filesystem path like you would find on a local machine or server. Instead, you interact with files in the File Store through the Pipedream interface or via Pipedream’s API. To access or manage the file you’ve uploaded, you would typically use the Pipedream Dashboard or the File Stores Node.js helper within your code steps in workflows. If you need to reference the file within a Pipedream workflow, you would do so by its name or through any metadata you have associated with it in the File Store. For specific operations like reading from or writing to a file in the File Store, you would use the appropriate methods provided by the Pipedream platform. Unfortunately, without direct access to Pipedream’s backend, I cannot provide a filesystem path because the concept does not apply in the same way it does on a traditional operating system. If you’re looking to use the file in a workflow or another part of your project, could you provide more details on what you’re trying to achieve? This way, I can offer more targeted advice or code examples.
