如何使用 python sdk 将 blob 上传到带有子目录的 azure 存储容器中？

Question

I was following along this article: Quickstart: Manage blobs with Python v12 SDK and the documentation for ContainerClient.upload_blob

Here's the snippet to upload a blob with this directory structure: testcontainer / backup / HelloWorld.cab

bsc = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string('<connection-string>')
cc = bsc.get_container_client('testcontainer')
cc.upload_blob(name='testcontainer/backup/HelloWorld.cab', data=open(r"\\network\path\to\backup\HelloWorld.cab", 'rb').read())

But I get the following error. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

azure.storage.blob._generated.models._models_py3.StorageErrorException: Operation returned an invalid status 'The specifed resource name contains invalid characters.'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Answer 1

I am able to reproduce this issue if I use invalid resource name (which is what the error message is telling you).

For example, if I use testcontainer as my blob container name (which is correct), I am able to upload the blob.

However if I use testContainer as my blob container name (which is invalid, notice the uppercase "C"), I get the same error as you're getting.

Please check the name of the blob container and the blob. Please see this link for naming convention for blob resources: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/naming-and-referencing-containers--blobs--and-metadata .
