400 Client Error: Bad Request for url when file path is too long

[achal648]

Hi, I'm encountering a 400 Client Error: Bad Request when trying to move a file using move_to_using_path in SharePoint via the Office365 Python library.

The error seems to occur when the file path is too long. If I shorten the file name or folder structure, the move operation succeeds.

This appears similar to Issue 319, where using ODataUrlBuilder or ODataPathBuilder was suggested as a workaround. However, these utilities no longer seem to be available in the latest version of the library.

Is there any recommended workaround for this?

Environment:

• Python version: 3.13
• Office365-REST-Python-Client version: 2.6.1

Code Snippet:

file_from = ctx.web.get_file_by_server_relative_url(source_path)
file_to = file_from.move_to_using_path(destination_folder_path, MoveOperations.overwrite).execute_query()

Error Message:

400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://<your-sharepoint-site>/_api/Web/getFileByServerRelativeUrl('%2Fsites%2F<site-name>%2FShared%20Documents%2F<folder-path>%2F<filename>.xlsx')/MoveToUsingPath(DecodedUrl='%2Fsites%2F<site-name>%2FShared%20Documents%2F<destination-folder>%2F<filename>.xlsx',moveOperations=1)

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
