# FILE_EXISTS

{path} already exists at version {version}. Mode `create` never overwrites.

Code `CONFLICT`, HTTP 409. A retry of the same call fails the same way.

## Failed

write_file did not create {path}.

## You can

- `write_file` with `{"space":"{space_id}","path":"{path}","mode":"replace","if_version":"{version}"}`: Retry with `mode: "replace"` and `if_version: {version}`. Or pick a new path.

## Tell your human

No human step needed.
