tFileExist does work when using context Variable

[Anonymous]

I am using Talend ESB Opem Studio 7.1 running on MacOS Mojave.  I want to check if a file exists and fail the process if it isn't.

When I pass hardcoded filepath/name the component works as expected '

!((Boolean)globalMap.get("tFileExist_1_EXISTS"))' returns FALSE. as the file definitely exists

however with same file name passed as Context variable in tFileExist, above expression returns FALSE.

Please help

 See below job.

Hi,

    Did you print the value of your context variable to see whether the data in the context variable is right?

    Also one another thing I would look is whether you are giving just file name or fully qualified file path. 

    Could you please look these details and update if the error still persists?

Warm Regards,

You need to give the context.path+context.filename.
I am already using that component in the same way to trigger the next flow if file exist
