Overview
This node operation, Project File System Get File Content, allows you to retrieve the content of a specific file within a given project. It is useful when you need to programmatically access logs, configuration files, or any other file stored in a project's file system for further processing, analysis, or monitoring.
Practical examples:
- Fetching log files from a project to analyze errors or usage patterns.
- Retrieving configuration files to verify settings or automate deployments.
- Accessing report files generated by the project for integration with other tools.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project Id | The unique identifier of the project from which to fetch the file content. |
| File | The path and name of the file to retrieve (e.g., /home/example.log). |
| Inline | Boolean flag indicating how the file should be served: true to serve inline (displayed in browser), or false to serve as an attachment (downloaded). |
Output
The output contains the content of the requested file in JSON format. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes the file data as a string or stream.
If the file is binary, the node will handle it accordingly, serving the file content either inline or as an attachment based on the Inline property.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential to authenticate requests against the mittwald mStudio API.
- The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at
https://api.mittwald.de. - Proper network access to the mittwald API service is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- File Not Found: If the specified file path does not exist in the project, the API may return an error. Verify the file path and project ID are correct.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access the project file system.
- Permission Denied: The user associated with the API key might lack rights to read files in the specified project.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the mittwald API endpoint can cause request failures; check your network and proxy settings if applicable.
