For testing purposes I hosted a react-app in my solid-pod by uploading the build directory to it.
This worked ok, but now I wanted to delete the files.
I could delete everything except 2 files: https://harrystminrupt.inrupt.net/public/apps/website/
I have tried
web.inox.app
solid-filemanager
portal(.)inrupt(.)net
but all them throw an internal server error and are unable to delete the files.
I think this is because the files are too big, about 4+ MB.
I also tried deleting them using the node-libraries,
but with solid-node-client (which uses solid-client-authn-js) I can’t login to inrupt[.]net (invalid refresh credentials after getting them via getToken)
and with the older solid-file-client (which uses solid-auth-cli)
I get the same internal server error.
What other solutions are there? I think most of them use the same libraries for the deletion under the hood, so is there something wrong with them? How to fix them and make it possible to delete bigger files?
I don’t know of all of those which libraries they use, but the ones I know of use different libraries than Penny, so you could try deleting them using that:
(Give them a bit of time to load. You’ll need to sign in in the top right-hand corner to do so.)
That said, “Internal Server Error” makes it unlikely that the cause is the library - I’d expect it to be a problem with the server software. So if that doesn’t work, you could try reporting an issue there.
with solid-node-client (which uses solid-client-authn-js)
Only if you specify that as the handler, otherwise it uses solid-auth-fetcher by default.
I can’t login to inrupt[.]net (invalid refresh credentials after getting them via getToken)
Inrupt.com uses ESS and the getToken process. Inrupt.net uses NSS and does not yet have a valid getToken system though a PR has been submitted. Currently, the way to login to inrupt.net and NSS is with login sending username and password rather than a token and needs solid-auth-fetcher as the handler. See the solid-node-client README (get latest 2.x version of solid-node-client).

Thank you for the clarification! I tried it and it works now!
Unfortunately this doesn’t resolve the internal server error when trying to delete the files.

I haven’t seen Penny yet but it’s pretty cool.
Unfortunately it also throws an internal server error…
so I guess you are right and it’s a problem with the server software.
I will try and create an issue there, thanks!
Hi if you think they are too big, did you try to edit them in the data browser to make them empty, so you can delete it? Do you have more information about the internal error ? 500? Any complementary message ?
I also tried editing them but I’m not able to open the files for editing in the data browser or any of the mentioned solid-apps. (same error)
The console only says “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)” while the website sometimes displays “async-lock timed out”.
when i tried to put them empty, (i saw a message saying that your file did not have a contenttype) i added application/javascript for the .js and i thought they were replaced
