Error when creating share #21120

DJ-3ncoder · 2020-05-26T22:29:15Z

I am using nextcloud snap but the the people on the snap-respository told me that such issues affect the server-repository.

I have been getting this error for a few days now:

When I want to share a folder with another person on my nextcloud there is this error:

Translation: "Error when creating share"

How to reproduce this error:
Click on the sharing-icon on the folder and select another cloud-user.
Then the error message appears.
Despite the error the user gets access and the user is shown in the sharing-list after refreshing the page.

Tested on version 18.0.4
This has only started occuring recently (snap updates itself)

I get this in v19.0.0 and v19.0.1 (upgraded from v18 to v19, worked fine in v18).

Created new file using web interface, clicked share.
Error message appears: Error creating the share.

File manager shows (for a short while) that the file is shared,
and activity log shows share link was created (and expired),
the share details don't show link.

The log:

[no app in context] Error: Exception: Call to a member function format() on bool at <<closure>>

Issue only occur after enabling :
Settings > Sharing > Allow Users to share via link > Set default expiration date for link shares

wivaku · 2020-08-19T11:27:31Z

To be sure, the summary is: sharing with expiration date does not work.
when I set expiration date (either default or for specific share): I get error message and can not share.
When I share without expiration date everything is fine.

What further triage is needed? Happy to help.

I have added the linked issue above with more details from the browsers JavaScript log.
For me the message also appears when Settings > Sharing > Allow Users to share via link > Set default expiration date for link shares is not enabled

wivaku · 2020-10-27T11:57:58Z

Pretty sure the server error is the indication of what the root cause is.
It seems the expire date is a boolean instead of string, which causes the format() of that string to fail.

Skalli · 2020-10-31T12:18:44Z

I also get the error in Nextcloud 19.4. I share it with users and groups, not as a link.
There is no entry in the error logs.
The checkbox with expiration date i not checked, but doubt it's relevant as I not share it via link.

wivaku · 2020-10-31T14:59:06Z

do you have a default expiration date set?
Settings > Sharing
Either for "Set default expiration date for shares" or "Set default expiration date for link shares"

Skalli · 2020-11-01T00:33:30Z

I tried any combination, but no change. I tried setting the share on a folder. It works when sharing a file.

wivaku · 2020-11-01T06:01:07Z

so do you get ther error when both settings are disabled?
Could be a different issue then.

What do you see in the server log?

Skalli · 2020-11-01T11:29:32Z

I get the error no matter what this setting is for either: All disabled, one of them enabled and all of them disabled, can't share the folder.
Server log doesn't show anything about the error to share.

I will need a screenshot of your network requests.
Before you do anything, still on the development tools, there is a tab called network. Click on it and then the xhr filter. Do your action and screenshot the network log like this:

Please also click on the failing 403 request and copy/paste the response content here

Skalli · 2020-11-07T23:03:31Z

Here's the screenshot with the response, this error response explains the problem. A shame the error is not displayed elsewhere:

So because there is another share in that folder it's not allowed to share the parent.

skjnldsv · 2020-11-07T23:23:11Z

@Skalli what path are you trying to share?
It state that you are sharing a folder that contains a mount point (another share)

cc @rullzer @nickvergessen we cannot share a folder that contains a share?

server/lib/private/Share20/Manager.php

Line 678 in de7026f

throw new \InvalidArgumentException('Path contains files shared with you');

Skalli · 2020-11-07T23:26:28Z

Yeah, it was a folder, one subfolder had a share. I wasn't aware of that limit and the very generic error message was not helpful. I moved the shared subfolder to a different location and then adding the share worked.
So my proposal would be to give a more meaningful error message for this use case.

nickvergessen · 2020-11-08T10:43:36Z

Yes @skjnldsv otherwise you could create loops:

User A shares A1 to user B
User B puts A1 in the folder B1
User B shares B1 to user A
User A puts B1 in folder A1

It would break your sync client, the file scan and everything else. So having a received share inside a shared item is not possible.

skjnldsv · 2020-11-08T10:49:14Z

Let's just improve the wording then and block sharing ?
Can we preemptively check if a folder contains one?

kwisatz · 2020-11-08T16:15:59Z

Just wanted to chime in.

Nextcloud-server 19.0.4-1 (deb10)

This is quite odd since the response, as can be seen below contains much more than one would expect. Almost as if debugging was enabled in Circles maybe?
This error only happens for me when trying to share with a circle. Sharing with a group or with an individual user works fine.

@kwisatz your share looks fine though (core response 200 and creation accepted).
So might be fixed by #23981 too

kwisatz · 2020-11-09T11:37:25Z

Yes, the share was indeed created. But the front-end application of course can't handle a response body like that.

You mean a response body like

}

Looks good to me 🤔

I will need a screenshot of your network requests.
Before you do anything, still on the development tools, there is a tab called network. Click on it and then the xhr filter. Do your action and screenshot the network log like this:
...

Please also click on the failing 403 request and copy/paste the response content here

details of what I see (saw) in the server log:
#21120 (comment)

The issue is still the same, even though currently I don't see that error anymore in the server log, and the client does not show an error message.
To reproduce for me:

create a file using the browser client (e.g. test.md)
share the file without expiration date - everything is fine
wait ± 1 minute and reload the file list page - everything is fine: file shows sharing icon
modify sharing: add expiration date
wait ± 1 minute and reload the file list page - everything is fine: file shows sharing icon
click on the sharing icon of the file, sidebar appears
in sidebar sharing icon has disappeared and file is no longer being shared, after reloading the file list share icon has disappeared

In the server log I see this one dozens of times in last week or so (not directly linked to the sharing issue)

The devtools show an (I think) normal PUT for the file, including the expiration as string:

when reloading I see a couple of requests:

I get the following error. Same problem as original poster, I can not share a newly created folder in the root directory with a group, although there are lots of previously shared folders there. Please let me know if I should share more information with you. This is Nextcloud 19.0.4 on ‪Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS‬

krakazyabra · 2021-01-13T14:49:14Z

Hi! I've noticed, that this error appears, when your Nextcloud name consists of 2+ words (f.e. My Nextcloud). If you change the name to one-word, error disappears (change to MyNextcloud). It somehow connected with email, because nextcloud tries to send email to recipient from email address nextcloudName@server. Due to RFC sender name cannot consists of several words.

simitar · 2021-07-31T19:15:30Z

Is there already a solution for the "error creating a share" issue, because I can´t get rid of this error. What to do? Reinstalling nextcloud in the expectation it'll work after that? In such a case, will I loose all configuration? Should I back up the configuration, or is there a way to do it to restore back the configuration? Thanks

remram44 · 2021-09-08T23:50:14Z

This seems to happen when trying to share a folder which contains a file shared with me. In that case there is no loop possible, it feels like the restriction shouldn't apply.

remram44 · 2023-01-09T16:40:16Z

On 25.0.1 I now get a popup with this warning:

Error creating the share: Path contains files shared with you

szaimen · 2023-01-09T16:42:07Z

Does this also happen on 25.0.2?

remram44 · 2023-01-09T17:02:50Z

Yes. Same popup on the page, and still the error in the console:

SofianeLasri · 2023-03-18T14:49:58Z

This error occures again on Nextcloud 26 RC1.

efelon · 2023-04-24T21:44:15Z

Occurs for me as well after the update from 25.0.6 to 26.0.1:

I'm using php8.1 and nginx on raspberry pi os 64 Bullseye.

Furthermore, the formally create links are still shown as shared in the file browser. Newly created links show the previously described error in the web UI but the after a page reload, these folders are also shown as shared without any information in the details:

Changing the default expiration date, does not help.

efelon · 2023-04-24T21:47:30Z

Small update: this error occurs only when trying to create links on externals storage files. Local files can be shared successfully. Sharing is of course enabled for external storage.

I found #37414 which fits this problem much better.

majneb · 2023-05-03T11:49:14Z

Same error "Error while creating the share" here when clicking on "share link", either with external S3 storage or with local files or folders.
With local files, after reloading the page and going to the share panel I can see the share link. The link is working but when trying to download the file from this link, I get an error : "page not found on the server".
With files from the S3 storage, reloading the page and going to the share panel, there is no link shown.

Should I create another issue ? It is similar to #37414 but also affects local files and folders.

(fresh nextcloud 26 / php8.1 / MariaDB manual install)

EDIT : When mounting the S3 external storage from the admin set-up page and not from the user set-up page, the problem is gone for both local and external files/folders.
When mounting an external storage from the admin set-up page you can specify which users can access it, so for small instances this solution can be a workaround. But of course this does not solve the problem for those who wants the users to be able to mount their own storage and share it.
