Hi all, I'm posting this for the second time since the previous post seems
to have vanished into oblivion. Apologies if it turns up.
I am having issues with re-uploading a previously REMOVED Asset.
I understand that in general you cannot mutate objects that have been set
to REMOVED.
I also noticed that when I ImageAsset with previously existing image data,
the API recognizes it returns the exact same Asset from the first upload.
Now, suppose have done the following:
1. Uploaded a new ImageAsset, and got back an AssetId.
2. Mutated that ImageAsset setting its AssetStatus to REMOVED.
And suppose I now wish to re-upload that image (say I removed it by
mistake).
The first thing I trued was to mutate the Asset and SET AssetStatus to
ENABLED, which naturally failed, although with an uninformative error
message: UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR
Next, I tried to simply re-upload the image. The API accepted it, but
returned the AssetId of the previously uploaded file, with AssetStatus set
to REMOVED.
Finally I tried to upload the image with a new AssetName, and here is where
I got a funny error message, telling me to remove the existing asset before
I can rename it.
Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ApiException [ 0 ]:
[AssetError{super=AssetError.CANNOT_MODIFY_ASSET_NAME @
operations[0].operand.assetName; trigger:'*There is an existing asset that
represents the same content as the asset to be added*, but with a different
name: the input asset has name '5cdeb8aeeaf5f'; and the existing asset has
name ''. *Remove the existing asset first if you would like to change the
name of the asset.*', reason=CANNOT_MODIFY_ASSET_NAME}]
Now, is setting the AssetStatus to REMOVED not enough to remove the Asset?
Am I missing something here?
Thanks for your help.
