"Can't upload a file that doesn't exist locally." when saving PFObject with no PFFile

[GabrielMSharp]

Saving ANY PFObject currently gives Error 151, irrespective of whether that PFObject has a PFFile, unsaved or not. I think this is generally linked to the Localdatastore and is a development on the issue I posted here: #763

[nlutsenko]

This sounds very strange, as error 151 is thrown only in 2 places, either when you are trying to download a file that was never saved to the server or when a file download was cancelled on saving an object.
Not sure, but doesn't look like you are hitting any of these. Any chance you can attach a code sample/project that can reproduce the issue?

I've got the Parse server running locally and I'm getting the same issue:

Error saving Error Domain=Parse Code=151 "Can't upload a file that doesn't exist locally." UserInfo={error=Can't upload a file that doesn't exist locally., NSLocalizedDescription=Can't upload a file that doesn't exist locally., code=151}

I'm getting the same issue after migrating to Parse Server (Heroku/MongoLab) as well.

Also having the same issue after migration to Parse Server. Was working just fine before.

I have the same issue after migrating to Parse Server (Heroku with MongoLab addOn), this happen when I try to save the user profile with:
"[[PFUser currentUser] saveInBackgroundWithBlock:...]"

When I try to save another object I have this error:
"[Error]: Object not found. (Code: 101, Version: 1.12.0)"

All ACL perms seems to be ok, and was working fine before migration

I ran into this problem after migration....

To fix the problem, find all the columns that use PFFile.
Then, in the database retrieve the files manually and need to upload again...

For me, it was happening due to profile images, so I saved the images locally; then, used

UIImage *tmp = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Image you saved"];
PFFile *file = [PFFile fileWithData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(tmp, 1.0f)];

[[PFUser currentUser] setObject:file forKey:@"key"];
[[PFUser currentUser] saveInBackground];

After that, problem was gone.

@toboklee Can you elaborate more about how did you solve this problem, what do you mean by retrieve the files manually in the database ( I have the same issue)

@toboklee
Thanks for sharing how to fix this issue.

But I can't fix this issue with your method.

Here is my code.
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageNamed:@"add_photo"], 0.8f);
PFFile *userPhoto = [PFFile fileWithName:@"avatar.png" data:imageData];
[currentUser setObject:userPhoto forKey:@"photo"];
[currentUser saveInBackground];

I received same message,
[Error]: Can't upload a file that doesn't exist locally. (Code: 151, Version: 1.12.0)

Looking for hearing from you.

Thanks

I'm getting this issue when I save an object that has a pointer to a PFUser. If I save everything but the pointer, the object saves. But once I add [LKFActivity setObject:[PFUser currentUser] forKey:@"activityUser" ] then I get the error message: Can't upload a file that doesn't exist locally. (Code: 151, Version: 1.12.0). I just realized that if I delete the current user's profile picture, then I don't get the error message. Thus, I think my issue is exactly the same as what you all are facing, but I'm still not clear how to fix it?

[topwebtek7]

Actually, my development is on migration parse server.(Heroku)

Here is my original code.
[currentUser setValue:@"YES" forKey:PF_USER_ONLINE_STATUS]; [currentUser saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) { if (!error) { NSLog(@"Success!"); } else [ProgressHUD showError:error.localizedDescription Interaction:YES]; }];
After migration, this code does not work. That's why I got error message "Can't upload a file that doesn't exist locally.".

Before migration, this code works very well.

I don't know why this issue occurs.

Also I am working on XCode 7.2/iOS 9.2
