azurePutBlob does not work with files about azuresmr HOT 8 OPEN

@kjohnson4 - Yes the local file function had some bugs and was removed for the initial release. I will remove the parameter from the function and documentation until it can get implemented correctly. Thanks for pointing out.

The azureBlobPut of an object from contents should work. As per your other post, can you confirm that you are not using classic mode and that other blob functions are working. Thanks

Sorry about that, I missed notes that the file function was bugged.

Other blob functions are working. I can Get (read) blobs and manipulate the data, and I'm trying to write those changes back, but can't seem to get this working. All our resources are managed, not classic, and veirfied that this SA was created new in RM, not in classic and moved.

Using your example on other issue posting:
azureCreateStorageContainer(sc,"myteststorage") library(RCurl) flightfile <- getURL("https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/244708/Home_Office_Air_Travel_Data_2011.csv") azurePutBlob(sc,contents=flightfile,blob = "flightinfo/flightfile.csv")

I noticed that flightfile is stored in "Values" of the RStudio environment. However all the files I'm reading in (using read.table, read.csv) will end up placing the result in the "Data" section, as the reading stores the file in a dataframe. Would this be causing an issue to put this data into Blob?

Hi, I am having a similar issue, when trying to pass in a dataframe for content I surprisingly get an authentication error:

No encoding supplied: defaulting to UTF-8.

In addition: Warning message:

all but the first element will be ignored

However if the data is passed in as a simple one row character by coercing the dataframe with toString() the function works and the data gets stored in the blob. Would be great if a dataframe could be directly stored as a file.

Not able to store an pdf file using azurePutBlob. it gives authentication error. any suggestion how to store pdf file in blob using R

I also have trouble uploading a dataframe. A solution that worked for me was to convert the dataframe to JSON.

json_USArrests<- USArrests %>% 
  as_tibble() %>% 
  jsonlite::toJSON()

The json_USArrests can then be passed to azurePutBlob. From that point you can do an Azure Data Factory injest if the goal is to put the data in an Azure SQL database, or you can read the blob and convert it back to a dataframe if you want to use it again in R.
