Error while upload file - Failed to open/read local data from file/application

[zaheen555]

Hi

I'm trying to upload a js resource file from my local machine using cloud shell.

I'm using the api mentioned below for the same.

I'm referring the api mentioned in this documentation - https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/develop/resource-files

However I'm getting an error "(26) Failed to open read local data from file/application.

curl -X POST https://apigee(dot)googleapis(dot)com/v1/organizations/myorg/environments/test/resourcefiles?name=fileName.js
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-type:multipart/form-data" \
-F file=@"/C:/Users/username/Downloads/fileName.js"

I tried providing path in multiple ways, still getting same error. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

This seems like two issues here. 

1. how to use the curl  syntax that uses the @ sign to de-reference a filename. (This is the source of the "failed to read local data" error message)
2. how to upload an environment-scoped resource to Apigee.

The examples I have seen show it like this: 

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -X POST \
  "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG/environments/$ENV/resourcefiles?type=jsc&name=foobar.js" \
  -d "@c:\Users\username\dev\scripts\my-file.js"

Notes:

• content-type is octet-stream
• I explicitly specify a type argument for the resource file type.
• argument to curl is -d not -F
• backslashes not forward slashes in the pathname of the @-referenced file. 

That assumes no WSL.  Have you tried that?  I just tried that from my Windows machine and it works.  (But I used PowerShell so the line-continuation characters were backticks not backslashes).
