Issue
- If a Sharepoint repository contains a file with a special character in its title (ex: 'File#s.docx'), opening the Sharepoint repository in the Documents and Media portlet leads to a blank page with the following error in the Liferay logs:
com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.SystemException: com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.PortalException: Unable to post to https://liferaycolab.sharepoint.com/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Documentos compartidos/Documentos compartidos/Folder with Special Character FIle/File#s.docx')/Versions:
400 Bad Request_{"error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"The expression \"web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Documentos compartidos/Documentos compartidos/Folder with Special Character FIle/File\" is not valid."}}} [Sanitized]
Resolution
