When trying to upload a module, I got the following error message:

  • File Transfer failed, reason: Unable to remove to file /var/www/drupal/modules/webform/.gitignore

It should say 'Unable to remove THE file'.

The offending files are below:

/var/www/drupal/core/lib/Drupal/Core/FileTransfer/FTPExtension.php:
   75    protected function removeFileJailed($destination) {
   76      if (!ftp_delete($this->connection, $destination)) {
   77:       throw new FileTransferException("Unable to remove to file @file", NULL, array('@file' => $destination));
   78      }
   79    }

/var/www/drupal/core/modules/system/src/Tests/FileTransfer/TestFileTransfer.php:
   47    function removeFileJailed($destination) {
   48      if (!ftp_delete($this->connection, $item)) {
   49:       throw new FileTransferException('Unable to remove to file @file.', NULL, array('@file' => $item));
   50      }
   51    }

It looks as if this was intended and not a mistake - ie it is trying to say the "to" file - as in destination. We also have the following exception messages in the same class.

throw new FileTransferException("Unable to change to directory @directory", NULL, ['@directory' => $directory]);

throw new FileTransferException("Unable to remove to directory @directory", NULL, ['@directory' => $directory]);

In all cases it looks like the error would be improved by changing the to to a the because the directory / file is also specified in the message.

Isn't this one actually "change to"?

I agree with that. I think the "to directory" should stay the same, and only the one (the file related error) might be changed.

Re #12 and #13.... nope it is not "change to" here "to" means destination in same way it is being used in the file example.

I'm wrong if (!ftp_chdir($this->connection, $directory)) {

But still we have this later...

    if (!ftp_rmdir($this->connection, $directory)) {
      throw new FileTransferException("Unable to remove to directory @directory", NULL, ['@directory' => $directory]);
    }

Also for

throw new FileTransferException("Unable to change to directory @directory", NULL, ['@directory' => $directory]);

To actually be clear we should change it to:

throw new FileTransferException("Unable to change current directory to @directory", NULL, ['@directory' => $directory]);

@joe_carvajal I reviewed the patch mentioned in #21 on 8.4.x branch. It works as expected. It can be changed to RTBC as it fixes all the grammar issues for aforementioned error messages.

Committed a908c19 and pushed to 8.4.x. Thanks!

8.3.x is now in a freeze I'm not sure we should backport to 8.3.1 because something in contrib or custom might be testing against these exception messages and it is not worth breaking that in a patch release.
