Azure Datalake Gen2 Rename File Issue

• azure.storage.filedatalake:
• **12.0.0.b **:
• Windows:
• 3.73:

Describe the bug When trying to get azure.storage.filedatalake rename_file method working for an existing file_client I receive the following error: file_client.rename_file(file_client.file_system_name+'/'+target_path) azure.core.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundError: Operation returned an invalid status 'The parent directory of the destination path does not exist.' ErrorCode:RenameDestinationParentPathNotFound error:{'code': 'RenameDestinationParentPathNotFound', 'message': 'The parent directory of the destination path does not exist.\nRequestId:889d285a-601f-001d-3afc-d9ef4b000000\nTime:2020-02-02T19:11:34.7429024Z'}

Provided is my code snippet: -Creating a file_client for an existing file -Creating target path name by taking the file_system name and appending it to the full path of the new file

logger.info("Now loading file: {0} into it's corresponding raw directory: {1}".format(filename, curated_path)) file_client = self.datalake_conn.file_system.get_file_client(filename) target_path = self.datalake_conn.file_system_name+'/'+curated_path+filename.split('/')[1] file_client.rename_file(target_path)

Hi @markpearl , Here are the steps on how to use rename_file, your question appears in step3.: Step 1, create a DataLakeServiceClient Object.
Step 2, get file client.
step 3, create target path. step 4, rename file.

The detailed code is shown below for how to use rename_file (here is the official sample ):

from azure.storage.filedatalake import DataLakeServiceClient 
account_name = 'AccountName' 
account_key = 'AccountKey' 
# Step 1, create a DataLakeServiceClient Object. 
dsc = DataLakeServiceClient(account_url="{}://{}.dfs.core.windows.net".format( 
       "https", 
       account_name 
   ), credential=account_key) 
# step 2, get file client.  
file_client=dsc.get_file_client(file_system='FileSystem', file_path='FolderName/YourFileName') 
# step 3, create target path. 
target_path=file_client.file_system_name + '/' + file_client.path_name.split('/')[0]+"/"+"NewFileName" 
# step 4, rename file. 
new_file_client = file_client.rename_file(target_path)
