Robot is having an issue creating folders inside our test Sharepoint. It has no issue on the production Sharepoint but it is not able create in development environment.

Issue:
The workflow gets a list of all files and folders from Sharepoint using Find Files And Folders activity. Then it iterates through the list and based on certain business conditions, it will create a folder in required directory. However, the Create Folder activity gives the below error.

Root Cause: One of the key reason for this issue is the limit on number of results from Find Files And Folders. There is a limit of 200 records which are returned. So if the directory if the created new folder is not returned, this issue is noticed.


Resolution:

  • Try to reduce the number of records in the Sharepoint URL to ensure the required directory is returned in the Find Files And Folders search result.
