How to create a file in a plugin using the DSS public API

Question

Hello,

it's quite easy to alter an existing file with the DSS REST API with the documented method POST (https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/api/4.1/rest/#plugins-plugin-contents-post)

But when i try to create a new file the API refuse to do it with this answer :

{
    "errorType": "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException",
    "message": "File README.md does not exist",
    "detailedMessage": "File README.md does not exist",
    "stackTrace": []
}

Does anyone acheived to create a new file without relying on the plugin update endpoint (uploading a zip file) ?

Or am i missing something ?

Hello,

Indeed the REST API currently needs the file to be created beforehand. I will add this feature to our backlog.

Cheers,
