byDriveItemId method items() works different in some cases in version 6.1.0

[ihudedi]

Hi
I found the the method byDriveItemId ask for different path every time:
To get drive item for item in root
graphServiceClient.drives().byDriveId("driveId").items().byDriveItemId("root:/fileName").get()

To get drive item children in root :
graphServiceClient.drives().byDriveId("driveId").items().byDriveItemId("root:/fileName:").get()
Added colon in the end.
same for when trying to upload file use with extra colon in the end
graphServiceClient.drives().byDriveId(driveId).items().byDriveItemId("root:/fileName:).content().put(fileContent)
Didn't understand why there is a change in the logic....
Morethan it When transfer large item using
UploadSession uploadSession = graphServiceClient.drives()
.byDriveId("driveId")
.items()
.byDriveItemId("root:/fileName")
.createUploadSession().post(uploadSessionPostRequestBody);
Nothing is working with colon or without colon.
Would like to know the logic
Thanks,
Itay

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to go from v3's upload behavior.

e.g. https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/root%3A%2F{file.docx}:/content

DriveItem fileDetails = Dependencies.getGraphServiceClient(documentStorageConfig)
.drives()
.byId(documentStorageConfig.getExternalStorageId())
.root()
.itemWithPath(fileUploadUrl)
.content()
.buildRequest()
.put(IOUtils.toByteArray(inputStream));

Where a file is put in the root folder of the destination drive.

in v6, trying with a url needs an absolute URL apparently

DriveItem fileDetails = Dependencies.getGraphServiceClient(documentStorageConfig)
.drives()
.byDriveId(documentStorageConfig.getExternalStorageId())
.root()
.withUrl(fileUploadUrl)
.content()
.put(inputStream);

and even with e.g.:

"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/root%3A%2F{file.docx}:/content" I get
"com.microsoft.graph.models.odataerrors.ODataError: Entity only allows writes with a JSON Content-Type header."

and with something like:

DriveItem fileDetails = Dependencies.getGraphServiceClient(documentStorageConfig)
.drives()
.byDriveId(documentStorageConfig.getExternalStorageId())
.items()
.byDriveItemId("root:/{file.docx}:")
.content()
.put(inputStream);

it just goes to "Shared Documents" rather than "Communication site > root" in Sharepoint.

Hi @ihudedi @cschenkeltherolf
Could you please confirm if the latest version this library still causes this issue?

@cschenkeltherolf could you please confirm if the same case happens when you use the same URL without the SDK? You can sign in and use Graph explorer for this

Hi @Ndiritu
It's working fine with latest version.
Thanks,
