HttpError 400 on uploading 0 bytes files, 416 on downloading 0 bytes files

[lampvux]

It seems like the bug #241 and @Aran-Fey's problem happened again when i trying to download and upload 0 bytes file using google drive api.

    credentials = google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials(**token)
    services_account = googleapiclient.discovery.build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=credentials)
    fd= BytesIO()
    media = googleapiclient.http.MediaIoBaseUpload(fd=fd, chunksize=128, mimetype='text/plain', resumable=True)
    body = {'name' : 'foo.txt'}
    services_account.files().insert(body=body, media_body=media, fields='id').execute()

throws

    `googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v2/files?fields=id&alt=json&uploadType=resumable
returned "Bad Request">`

Hi @9kmmr, could you let us know which version of the API (V2 or V3) you are using?

@busunkim96 The error states Drive V2. (It's generally recommended to use V3)

@9kmmr It looks like the API request is bad. Here are more samples for uploading files:

@busunkim96 It is V2
@grant I tried with no-empty file and it worked

@9kmmr Is using Drive V3 API possible in your environment?

@9kmmr Please re-open this bug if it's still an issue for you.

I'm still seeing this issue with google-api-python-client 1.7.10. Example code can be found here in the Forseti repo. A googleapiclient.errors.HttpError 416 exception is raised on the call to next_chunk() when downloading a 0 byte file. I see several closed issues related to this issue. What's the best way to fix this?

Well, in fact I didn't had to deal with that. For my concrete example, I've decided to avoid zero size files and that's all.

Unfortunately there are cases when we are exporting data from GCP to GCS, and some times those files are 0 bytes in size so it's not something we can avoid.
