Can't copy blob with Java API

Question

I'm trying to get started with the Java API.

val blobServiceClient = BlobServiceClientBuilder().connectionString(connectStr).buildClient()
val containerClient = blobServiceClient.getBlobContainerClient("my-stuff")
val blobClient = containerClient.getBlobClient("Test1.txt")
val newBlobClient = containerClient.getBlobClient("Test2.txt")
newBlobClient.copyFromUrl(blobClient.blobUrl)

I get an error saying "The specified resource does not exist":

Exception in thread "main" com.azure.storage.blob.models.BlobStorageException: Status code 404, "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Error><Code>CannotVerifyCopySource</Code><Message>The specified resource does not exist.

But it does exist. I can download it; this works:

blobClient.downloadToFile("/Users/me/Desktop/foo.txt")

@Rob N
Please try attaching a SAS token with appropriate permissions to the copy source url. There is a recent GitHub thread where a user faced the same issue. Here is the code that worked for them:

String sasToken = sourceBlobClient.generateSasToken();  
copyBlobClient.copyFromUrl(sourceBlobClient.getBlobUrl() + "?" + sasToken);  

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance or have further issues.
