File Could not be Copied Error

I had this problem with Drupal 5.15 and Node import 5.x-1.9.

This is usually a permissions problem with the files and temporary folders. However, my permissions for those folders checked out.

Eventually I found in node_import.module file on line 200 shows:
// If there is an uploaded file, save it to
// drupal.node_import.{site_url}.{uid} in the temporary directory.

My problem was being caused because that temporary file ( drupal.node_import.{site_url}.{uid} ) already existed (the permissions for the file might have been change accidentally) and wasn't being overwritten. Removing the file fixed the problem.

Hopefully that helps!

Getting this same error running 5.x-1.9 and Drupal. 5.20. I see the file is copied to my tmp folder but and it's a .csv that I've never used so it's not a duplicate.

Any solution?

* The selected file /var/www/net/tmp/test.tsv could not be copied.
* warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /var/www/net/sites/all/modules/node_import/node_import.api.inc on line 115.
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/net/sites/all/modules/node_import/node_import.api.inc on line 115.
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/net/sites/all/modules/node_import/node_import.module on line 292.

Anyone know how to fix this?
Tried multiple .csv and tsv files.

This is a hack to make it work in a pinch, it is not a fix to the module itself...

Editing node_import.module, I went in and hard coded my site URL into the function in the module:


else if ($edit['op'] == t('Next (mapping)')) {
// If there is an uploaded file, save it to
// drupal.node_import.{site_url}.{uid} in the temporary directory.
$file = file_save_upload('file');
if ($file) {
$edit['filename'] = $file->filename;
file_move($file, 'drupal.node_import.'. strtr(YOURSITE,COM, array('http://' => '', '/' => '.')) .'.'. $user->uid, 1);
$edit['file'] = $file;
}

I put in my site where it says YOURSITE,COM (it normally says strtr($base_url, array )

note the comma.

This fixed it and it works.

This is a kludge for sure, but if you need it to work, and since no one has posted a fix... this might work for you.
