Identifying the FileNotFound Symptom

When working with Supabase Storage, you might encounter a 'FileNotFound' error. This typically manifests as an error message indicating that a requested file cannot be located within the specified storage bucket. This can disrupt application functionality, especially if the file is critical for operations.

Common Error Message

The error message might look something like this:

Error: FileNotFound - The specified file does not exist in the storage bucket.

Exploring the FileNotFound Issue

The 'FileNotFound' error occurs when the system is unable to locate the file at the specified path within the storage bucket. This can happen due to various reasons such as incorrect file path, file not being uploaded, or the file being deleted or moved.

Root Causes

  • Incorrect file path specified in the request.
  • The file has not been uploaded to the storage bucket.
  • The file was deleted or moved to a different location.

Steps to Resolve the FileNotFound Issue

To resolve the 'FileNotFound' error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the File Path

Ensure that the file path specified in your request matches the actual path of the file in the storage bucket. Double-check for any typos or incorrect directory structures.

Step 2: Confirm File Upload

Check if the file has been successfully uploaded to the storage bucket. You can do this by listing the files in the bucket using the following command:

supabase storage list --bucket your_bucket_name

Replace your_bucket_name with the actual name of your bucket.

Step 3: Check for File Deletion or Movement

If the file was previously accessible, verify that it hasn't been accidentally deleted or moved. You can use the Supabase dashboard or the CLI to check the file's status.
