Question

Directory and File Pathnames

Hi, 

I just upgraded FME Form and FME Flow from 2024.0 to 2024.2.3. 

One of my jobs failed using a FeatureReader with the Directory and File Pathnames due to the extension not being in all caps because the extension on the file it’s looking for is in all caps (.CSV). Originally the parameter was set to filename.csv and the FeatureReader would have no issues finding the file on 2024.0. Now the FeatureReader is not able to find the file in 2024.2.3. I changed the parameter to all caps .CSV in the featureReader and it finds the file with no issue. 

Anyone else noticing this with 2024.2.3?

Hi ​@evagardner thanks for your question! This sounds like a bug; however I wasn’t able to reproduce this in either 2024.2.3 or in 2025.0. I’m wondering if when you run into the error with the file extension in lowercase, could you send us the log file? Perhaps also your workspace, or at least the configuration of your FeatureReader? 
 

if you don’t want to share them here, please create a case for us to look into this further! We’re happy to help :)

Here is the log for just the FeatureReader. The name of the file that is supposed to be picked up is BOA_BEPC_ARCASHIMPORT_RDS_20250311.CSV

Directory and File Pathnames - Path Filter now case sensitive? | Community


Raised as FMEENGINE-84597

 

I had a message saying it had been corrected in FME 2025.0
