Server folder or file as input parameter for my script

How can I select a folder or file as input parameter for my script?

Hi @fabianomenegidio, for file parameter you can you file_upload type. There are details on how it works: details

Uploading the folder is not supported. And it would be complicated to implement, because it's not really supported by html standards and would work only in some browsers.

Or did I understand your question wrong and you were asking about selecting a file/folder on the server?

Choose a file or folder on the server (in a container where Script-Server would be installed).

Tnx

Hi @fabianomenegidio, unfortunately it's not supported at the moment.

If you have limited amount of files, you can emulate this behaviour with a list parameter, specifying ls/find as a command.
E.g.

{
      "name": "File on server",
      "type": "list",
      "values": {
        "script": "find /home/me/folder -name '*.txt'"
      }
}

Hi @fabianomenegidio, I'd keep the issue open until I add the feature

There is another similar ticket: #147, which I can be addressed together.
In my opinion there could be 2 different options: recursive and not. For recursive option there would be some kind of file selection dialog.
For non-recursive it would be shown as a list.

@csphoenix1 I added 'server_file' parameter type. It can be used for non-recursive file selection. For the user only filenames will be shown. In the script full path (i.e. file_dir/filename) will be passed

Also added new parameter configuration fields:
file_dir - (required) where to look for files
file_type - file type filter ('dir' or 'file')
file_extensions - list of file extensions (implicitly applies "file_type": "file")

Example config:

{
    "name": "my file",
    "type": "server_file",
    "file_dir": "/home/me/configs",
    "file_extensions": ["txt", "yml", "json"]
}

Recursive file selection still to be done
