Microsoft.Graph.Models.ODataErrors.ODataError: Invalid request when calling createUploadSession (OneDrive)

[lavinir]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to create an upload session using the Graph SDK. With many different OneDrive accounts this results in an ODataError : Invalid Request.

Additional Details:

• Does not seem to effect all accounts.
• Item resides inside the Special AppFolder

Expected behavior

Upload Session should be created successfully or at least a meaningful error returned to understand what's wrong with the request.

How to reproduce

Using the following code:

            var uploadSession = await graphClient.Drives[driveId]
                .Items[appFolder.Id]
                .ItemWithPath(destinationFileName)
                .CreateUploadSession
                .PostAsync(new DriveUpload.CreateUploadSessionPostRequestBody()
                {
                    Item = new DriveItemUploadableProperties
                    {
                        Description = description
                    }
                });

Thanks for raising this @lavinir

It looks like the description field being set in the DriveItemUploadableProperties is a json object that is stringified. I suspect its possible that it may contain a character that the API does not like.

To rule this out, are you able to make a successfull request if you create an upload session with a hardcoded description that is a plain string to validate?

Thanks @andrueastman.
I think you're correct about the description field causing the issue but I'm not sure what characters are causing this. I tried sending the body above from my machine but this did not reproduce the issue even though it was failing for other users.

I ended up removing the description altogether and that resolved the issue.
