# Summary [NIFI-14005](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14005) - GetFileResource processor The goal of this new GetFileResource processor is to provide a way for a user to inject a File Resource as a FlowFile with custom attributes. It means that the processor would be able to specify a path to a file and its content would be used as FlowFile's content. By leveraging the asset feature, it makes it easy to load a test dataset as a FlowFile in a cloud native environment (container based). Alternatives that have been considered: - GenerateFlowFile with a "Custom File/Content" property. However, a processor being able to access the local file system needs to be associated with a specific set of permissions and that would be a significant breaking change for all users already using GenerateFlowFile processor where such permissions are enforced. - GetFile with some specific improvements. However, longer term we would likely want to completely remove this processor and only have ListFile/FetchFile. Beside, its configuration is overly complex for the intended goal here. Testing: - tested with local file reference - tested with file referenced via URL - tested using Asset feature and Parameter reference For information: ```` $ ./bin/cli.sh nifi create-asset -p nifi-cli.properties -pcid dc39db55-1eb2-3d26-9a8a-caaf097cfcc2 -af /Users/pierre/dev/myFile.txt b099141f-2bc4-3073-8dc0-243dac470f08 $ ./bin/cli.sh nifi add-asset-reference -p nifi-cli.properties -aid b099141f-2bc4-3073-8dc0-243dac470f08 -pcid dc39db55-1eb2-3d26-9a8a-caaf097cfcc2 -pn MyAsset ```` The parameter `#{MyAsset}` can then be used in the processor (assuming proper Parameter Context binding on the Process Group). # Tracking Please complete the following tracking steps prior to pull request creation. ### Issue Tracking - [ ] [Apache NiFi Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI) issue created ### Pull Request Tracking - [ ] Pull Request title starts with Apache NiFi Jira issue number, such as `NIFI-00000` - [ ] Pull Request commit message starts with Apache NiFi Jira issue number, as such `NIFI-00000` ### Pull Request Formatting - [ ] Pull Request based on current revision of the `main` branch - [ ] Pull Request refers to a feature branch with one commit containing changes # Verification Please indicate the verification steps performed prior to pull request creation. ### Build - [ ] Build completed using `mvn clean install -P contrib-check` - [ ] JDK 21 ### Licensing - [ ] New dependencies are compatible with the [Apache License 2.0](https://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) according to the [License Policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html) - [ ] New dependencies are documented in applicable `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files ### Documentation - [ ] Documentation formatting appears as expected in rendered files -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
