Supabase Storage is a part of the Supabase suite, which provides developers with a scalable and easy-to-use backend solution. It allows you to store and serve large files, such as images, videos, and other media, directly from your Supabase project. This tool is particularly useful for applications that require robust file storage capabilities.
When working with Supabase Storage, you might encounter an error known as BucketCreationError. This error typically occurs when there is an issue with creating a new storage bucket. The error message might look something like this:
Error: BucketCreationError - Failed to create a new bucket.
This error can be frustrating, especially when you are trying to set up your storage infrastructure quickly.
The BucketCreationError usually stems from two main issues:
Supabase requires that bucket names follow specific conventions to ensure compatibility and avoid conflicts. These conventions typically include:
To resolve the BucketCreationError, follow these steps:
Ensure that the bucket name you are trying to create is unique within your Supabase project. You can list existing buckets using the Supabase CLI or API:
# Using Supabase CLI
docker run --rm -it supabase/cli storage list-buckets
Check the list to confirm that your desired bucket name is not already in use.
Make sure your bucket name adheres to the naming conventions outlined above. For example, instead of using My Bucket, use my_bucket.
Once you have a unique and properly formatted name, create the bucket using the Supabase Dashboard or CLI:
# Using Supabase CLI
docker run --rm -it supabase/cli storage create-bucket my_bucket
If you prefer using the Supabase Dashboard, navigate to the Storage section and use the 'Create Bucket' option.
