Question

I am using this tutorial to upload a file in my play framework application. I am using the exact same code but I get following error.

[IOException: Path(/Users/hrishikeshparanjape/Desktop) exists but replace parameter is false]

Following is my code:

def upload = Action(parse.multipartFormData) { request =>
        request.body.file("picture").map { picture =>
            import java.io.File
            val filename = picture.filename 
            val contentType = picture.contentType
            picture.ref.moveTo(new File("/Users/hrishikeshparanjape/Desktop/"))
            Ok("File uploaded")
        }.getOrElse {
            Redirect(routes.Application.index).flashing(
                    "error" -> "Missing file"
                    )
        }
    }

I am stuck here please help.

Looks like you need to specify the complete file name for moveTo

picture.ref.moveTo(new File(
  "/Users/hrishikeshparanjape/Desktop/" + picture.filename))
