Description
Hello,
I have a MFP that is configured to scan and push pdf files to a SMB folder within the data files of an user on the Nextcloud server
The file permission and ownership (www-data) are taken care of. It seems that the "File created" event is not triggered.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a flow that performs some action on file named test.txt with the trigger "File created"
- A test.txt file is created within the web UI or a synchronized folder
- Force cron execution
sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php - Verify that the flow performs adequately
- Create a file directly on the server with e.g.:
echo "Hello, world!" | sudo -u www-data tee /var/www/nextcloud/data/userxyz/files/scan/test.txt - Force cron execution
sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php
Expected behaviour
The flow is triggered and performs per expectations.
Actual behaviour
The flow is not triggered

Research direction
Start by reproducing the difference between a file created through the web UI or synchronized folder and one written directly under the user's data directory. Run cron.php after each case and inspect the workflow_script and workflowengine behavior. Done means the File created trigger also fires for the locally created file, with coverage for the reported scenario.
