How to rename a file in Azure File Share using Azure Python SDK?

I am trying to rename a file in Azure File Share using the Azure python SDK. But the problem I’m facing is, it removes the file instead of renaming it.

with directory_client.get_file_client(file_name=project_from_db.project_name) as rename_client:
    rename_client.rename_file(new_name=new_data['project_name'])

Is anything wrong here?

    I solved it with the same code below, by just adding the path of the old file with the new name of the file, to the new_path parameter .

    new_file_path = <file-path> + new_data['project_name']
with directory_client.get_file_client(file_name=project_from_db.project_name) as rename_client:
    rename_client.rename_file(new_name = new_file_path)

    By doing the above change, the file will be renamed in the same path as the old file was.

    Hope it helps other people out there facing the same issue!

    You can use the below code to rename a file in Azure File Share using Azure Python SDK.

    Code:

    from azure.storage.fileshare import ShareServiceClient


# Define the connection string and file share name
connection_string = "your-connection string"
file_share_name = "fileshare2"    
        
file_name="sprite.html"
new_file_name="sprite326.html"

share_service_client = ShareServiceClient.from_connection_string(connection_string)
share_client = share_service_client.get_share_client(file_share_name)
file_client = share_client.get_file_client(file_name)

new_file_client=share_client.get_file_client(new_file_name) 
new_file_client.start_copy_from_url(file_client.url)

file_client.delete_file()
print("The file is Renamed successfully:",{new_file_name})

    Output:

    The file is Renamed successfully: {'sprite326.html'}
