Why can't I add a specific path in a filter.xml file?

Question

Hello, what happens is that I am following the guide of:

https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/how-to-modify-a-crxde-file-from-the-ide-code/m-p/619862#M155450

To modify a just a file called fileupload.js that is in charge of validating information and uploading the asset in AEM using DAM.

What happens is that I am in the final step where only remains to add the path of the file that I created in filter.xml.

But when I add the complete path that would be the following one:

/apps/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/fileupload/clientlibs/fileupload/js

I get the following error:

is not covered by any of the specified dependencies nor a valid root

But when I add the path in short version it allows me to do the following:

/apps/dam

But when I do the DAM when I click on create to upload an asset, the button does not work anymore.

What can I do in this case?, I already try to add the differents mode (replace, merge and update) and add the complete path but nothing of this works.

Update: Now I can build the project, only I need to delete the cache with the command:

mvn clean.

But my changes don't show it when the asset is uploaded on DAM, is necessary to do something else to make my changes work?

Hello @aaron_dempwolff

I guess this is related to another thread to avoid space in filename.

There is a correction to the solution. As per the latest code from AEM SDK, the filename validation in Coral UI is done via

Filename: /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/clientlibs/damutil/js/util.js

Function: getInvalidFileChars()

We just need to overlay this js in /apps

Update the function to:

    function getInvalidFileChars() {
        return [ "*", "/", ":", "[", "\\", "]", "|", "#", "%", "{", "}", "?", "&" , " "];
    }

And it should work. Apologies I had shared earlier answer based on my past experience. But there seems to have been an update.

I have tried the solution from current thread. It will stop user from uploading file with space

Hello @aaron_dempwolff

You would need to declare the parent paths in pom.xml of ui.apps.structure module. Example

                        <filter><root>/apps/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/fileupload/clientlibs/fileupload/js</root></filter>
                        <filter><root>/apps/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/fileupload/clientlibs/fileupload/</root></filter>
                        <filter><root>/apps/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/fileupload/clientlibs/</root></filter>

Please check till which parent level you need to declare explicitly.

The validator is trying to make sure that we do not deploy a child node, without a parent node:

- Being available in AEM

- Being deployed via code.

Also, please make sure that if we are creating any parent node via code, it should have proper jcr:primaryType, else we might run into issues later.
