files:transfer-ownership fails with "The user has at least to be logged in once" #9601
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create new user
- Log in with new user account and log out
- Run the following command on the server command line:
sudo -u www-data php occ files:transfer-ownership olduser newuser
Expected behaviour
I want to rename an existing user, for that I have to create a new user and then transfer the ownership of the files of the old user, correct? This doesn't work as explained above.
Actual behaviour
The output I then get is:
The target user is not ready to accept files. The user has at least to be logged in once.
To check if the user has logged in according to Nextcloud, I checked the following command.
sudo -u www-data php occ user:info newuser
- user_id: newuser
- display_name: My name
- email: user@domain.example
- cloud_id: user@domain.example
