Worked fine before.

Hello @Peter Volkov ,

Thanks for reporting the issue, definitely something for me to fix.

Sadly I wasn’t able to reproduce it so far. I tried creating a snippet from an entire file and from selected text but never got such error.

If you are able to reproduce, could you please collect some debug logging?

• Go to Help -> Diagnostic Tools -> Debug Log Settings...
• In the dialog that will appear add BitbucketLinky and click OK
• Reopen the affected project or simply restart your IDE
• Reproduce the bug
• Go to Help -> Show Log in Finder (Help -> Show Log in Explorer on Windows)
• Attach revealed idea.log to the issue, or better filter out just the lines containing BitbucketLinky

I’m specifically interested in the response from Bitbucket: it might contain some hint on why the request is considered invalid.

Cheers,
Daniil

Sorry, Daniil. I guess this is my fault and misinterpretation of the functionality.

It works well with a single file, but fails like I showed when I do it for a directory. I think you can drop the issue, remove context menu for the directories or add a specific error message.

‌

What I wanted was to have a generic text form to paste some text into, not uploading an existing file.

Now I understand that I need to just create a new file for this or select some text in an existing file

Hey Peter,

No you didn’t get it wrong: a snippet can be created with a directory (including nested directories) or multiple selected files. So I’m sure what you faced is a legit bug, some kind of edge case which I currently haven’t figured out. I have few ideas of possible edge cases which might cause Bitbucket to consider the request as invalid (as it returned 400 response back):

• unsupported characters in file/directory names – I tried with accented characters, hieroglyphs and emojis but that worked just fine
• unsupported characters in the snippet name – tried that too, worked fine
• empty directory – worked fine too
• too many files in the create snippet request – how many files did the directory have in your case?
• too large single file or overall file size – how large was the directory you tried to create the snippet from?
• hard or symbolic links in the scope – maybe Linky doesn’t handle links properly?

It’d be very helpful if you could create and share a minimal project where the problem can be reproduced, or if you can enable debug logging and hopefully find the payload of the 400 response from Bitbucket in the log – it might give a hint on what exactly Bitbucket considered invalid.

Yeah there’s no functionality like this right now cause I never considered such scenario to be common in IDE, and I never heard about any demand before. It shouldn’t be hard to add it, but I reckon it shouldn’t be triggered from the context menu in that case as it will not be relevant to the entity the menu is shown for.

Cheers,
Daniil
