The WSG transformer gets following error when I try to upload files to Projectwise: 

ProjectWiseWSGConnector: Uploading file "testfile.shp" to Bentley ProjectWise
Python Exception <AttributeError>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'

ProjectWise_-_Upload_New_files_CALLER (PythonFactory): A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details

Error seems to originate in upload routine. From what I can see it expects a string variable that is null and cannot decode character decoding?. 

 

Currently on FME 2021.0.0.1

 

Same error happens on FME server 2021.0.0.3

Hi @luka_muna​,

I'm happy to report that this has been resolved by the development team for FME 2021.2 (build 21707 and higher). This issue had been caused by the mimetype not being recognized, so in the fixed build, the connector will now successfully upload the file and log a warning.

 

Please give this another try in FME 2021.2 and newer and it should work successfully now.

I'm assuming the Object ID refers to a folder and not a file?

Also, which Python version is specified in the Workspace settings? Have you tried both version 2.7 and 3.x?

Object ID is an output variable that refers to Projectwise ID for the file once uploaded. I haven't tryed switching python versions. I'm currently running Python 3.8+.

 

As suggesed I tested Python versions :

  • 2.7 and 3 (Did not work, same error)
  • 3.7+ (Did not work, same error)
  • 3.6+ (Did not work, same error)
  • 2.7 (deprecated) (Did not work, same error)

I ought to be clearer, I was referring to the value "Project Object ID" under ProjectWise Destination, not the output attribute.

Not yet unfortunetly, had to implement a manual workaround
