HttpPostedFileBase.SaveAs working but no file uploaded and no exceptions

First, here is my code:

private Shoe ProcessForm(Shoe shoe, HttpPostedFileBase image)
{
    try
    {
        shoe.Slug = CMSHelper.SanitizeTitle(shoe.Name);
        shoe.LastModification = DateTime.Now;

        if ((image != null) && (image.ContentLength > 0))
        {
            string fileName = String.Concat(shoe.ShoeId, Path.GetExtension(image.FileName));
            shoe.Image = fileName;

            string filePath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(shoe.ImagePath), fileName);
            image.SaveAs(filePath);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        throw e;
    }

    return shoe;
}

Locally, this code works fine. Directories' permissions are fine. And it has worked before randomly on other servers (I tested this code on 4 or 5 different servers while I was testing VPS providers).

But if I try to run it from my home computer, everything passes alright, there's a file name saved in the database but no file is uploaded. And no exceptions are given!!!

I've been trying to fix this for almost three days and so much useless hours, pleas开发者_JAVA技巧e help me... I just don't see what's wrong with this...

I finally did a workaround which is doing very fine. I even asked at my job and everyone said there was nothing wrong at all. So screw it here's what I did:

Instead of calling .SaveAs() I made a method which is :

public static void WriteFileFromStream(Stream stream, string toFile)
{
    using (FileStream fileToSave = new FileStream(toFile, FileMode.Create))
    {
        stream.CopyTo(fileToSave);
    }
}

I call it like this:

CMSHelper.WriteFileFromStream(image.InputStream, filePath);

And that's it.

What is your view model? First of all replace (Shoe shoe, HttpPostedFileBase image) with (FormCollection formCollection). Put a breakpoint on that to see that you are getting all the submitted values. If you do then there is a problem with model binding and we'll need to address that.

Edit

Can you please put a breakpoint on

image.SaveAs(filePath); 

Add a watch for fileName and filePath variables. I think that server path is not what you expect it to be, or maybe you are looking in the wrong folder all together. Tell us what are the values of those variables. Also make sure that no exception is thrown when you go past image.SaveAs(filePath);

image.FileName contains the path data and is selected by

Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(shoe.ImagePath), fileName)

Try something like:

string pathForSaving = Server.MapPath("~/Upload/Images");
string uploadFileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(image.FileName);
string uploadFilePathAndName = Path.Combine(pathForSaving, uploadFileName);
image.SaveAs(uploadFilePathAndName);

How are you setting shoe.ImagePath? Your issue feels like Server.MapPath is returning a value that you are not expecting.

Did you check to see if you have multiple web servers? Like a load balancer perhaps. It might not be throwing an exception because there isn't actually an exception and the file does actually exist somewhere, just not on the server you believe it is on. Just a thought (it has happened to me before).

Make sure you are using enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form

I also ran into the same issue posted on this thread and after a few tries of uploading a file, I refreshed the folder where the files were suppose to be and finally I saw them there. Not sure why it didn't show up the first time after the first refresh but it probably has something to do with refreshing the folder. I did the refresh from within Visual Studio and I also had the "Show All Files" button on.
