Export to Downloads module gives no output
planned

My flow uses an Export to Downloads module, and I'm trying to debug it, but the Export to Downloads module itself appears to give no result at all.
My flow, shown in attached image, goes:
- Javascript: Create CSV
- Export to Downloads
- Alerts attached to both success and error outputs
The URL being sent to Export to Downloads looks like "blob:cccb9bbc-88fc-4b6c-b5a8-c2a7975587e1?offset=0&size=245" - does that look correct?
Neither alert fires, so I'm having trouble debugging the flow.

Thanks for reporting this! I was able to verify this as a bug.

Merituuli Melkko: Cool, thanks for the update. Is there any way to get info about the error in the meantime? I can't get that module to do anything, and I can't for the life of me figure out why...heh.

Joel D: I would suggest to wait as there's no additional information you can see, and as far as I was able to look into this at this point, it might be that this whole flow function has issues that need to be solved before it works as intended.

Merituuli Melkko: Alrighty...so...is there a way to get around this then? I need to generate a CSV file and get it into the Downloads folder on iOS - any ideas?
On Android I use the Write File flow function and write it to
systemVars.fileSystem.directories.android.downloads
which works just fine, but on iOS when I try to write the file, it always ends up in a folder the user can't access (using systemVars.fileSystem.directories.document
as a target.) I only tried the Export to Downloads function because I couldn't get Write File to work in a useful way. Is there any other way I can write a file on iOS to a directory where a user can find it?

Hi Joel D and thanks for your report. Could you let us know the appID of your app to help us study this. The appID can be found from URL when your app is open in Composer. It would be also helpful to know the page/component which is having this particular issue. Best Regards, Timo Kapanen

Timo Kapanen: Sure thing - App ID 169788, screen "Crawl Log", and the flow is under the button "Export Day's Log". Thanks for looking into it! So close to getting this working, but just can't seem to get the download working on iOS...

Timo Kapanen: Also, if you want to test it in the Preview, you'll need to generate some data to export first. To do that:
- Start up the app
- Enter some bogus info on the first screen you see
- Press Continue
- Tap the Playbutton at the top
- Tap Finish & Recordand approve the modal
- Tap Save & Finish
Then there will be a little data available. You can then go to the "Crawl Log" tab to test. Thanks!
