How to search for a file in a document set?


I'm trying to write a CAML query to look for a specific file, by file name, in a specific document set.

This is the query I'm working on:


        <Query>
              <Where>
                 <Eq>
                    <FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef' />
                    <Value Type='File'>TestFile.txt</Value>
                 </Eq>
              </Where>
           </Query>
           <QueryOptions>


      <Folder>https://acme.com/sites/mysite/MyDocLib/MyDocSetName</Folder>
          </QueryOptions>

As there is a file called TestFile.txt in a document set called MyDocSetName, I expect to get a result, but nothing is coming back. What am I doing wrong?


Solution

  • Sample tested script based on this demo.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
        <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    
            $(document).ready(function() {
                var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
                $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function() {
                    $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function() {
                        $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.DocumentManagement.js", createDocumentSet);
                    });
                });
            });
            var docSetFiles;
    
            function createDocumentSet() {
                //Get the client context,web and library object.
                clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
                oWeb = clientContext.get_web();
                var oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle("DocSet");
                clientContext.load(oList);
                //Get the root folder of the library
                oLibraryFolder = oList.get_rootFolder();
                var documentSetFolder = "/DocSet/test1";
                //Get the document set files using CAML query
                var camlQuery = SP.CamlQuery.createAllItemsQuery();
                camlQuery.set_viewXml("<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef'/><Value Type='Text'>test2.docx</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>");
                camlQuery.set_folderServerRelativeUrl(documentSetFolder);
                docSetFiles = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
                //Load the client context and execute the batch
                clientContext.load(docSetFiles, 'Include(File)');
                clientContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccess, QueryFailure);
            }
    
            function QuerySuccess() {
                //Loop through the document set files and get the display name
                var docSetFilesEnumerator = docSetFiles.getEnumerator();
                while (docSetFilesEnumerator.moveNext()) {
                    var oDoc = docSetFilesEnumerator.get_current().get_file();
                    console.log("Document Name : " + oDoc.get_name());
                }
            }
    
            function QueryFailure() {
                console.log('Request failed - ' + args.get_message());
            }
        </script>
