ImportExport - Sample Files in own Modules

[EliasKotlyar]

Preconditions

Happens in all Magento2 Versions.

Steps to reproduce

Try to provide your own Sample file in
/Files/Sample/<yourentity.csv>

Expected result

You can add your own sample-file to your module and it will be taken from the ImportExport Wizard in the Backend

Actual result

The sample file needs to be placed in the Module "ImportExport".

Why it happens?

This happens because of this code:
vendor/magento/module-import-export/Controller/Adminhtml/Import/Download.php

` /**
* Download sample file action
*
* @return \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Raw
*/
public function execute()
{
$fileName = $this->getRequest()->getParam('filename') . '.csv';
$moduleDir = $this->componentRegistrar->getPath(ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, self::SAMPLE_FILES_MODULE);
$fileAbsolutePath = $moduleDir . '/Files/Sample/' . $fileName;
$directoryRead = $this->readFactory->create($moduleDir);
$filePath = $directoryRead->getRelativePath($fileAbsolutePath);

    if (!$directoryRead->isFile($filePath)) {
        /** @var \Magento\Backend\Model\View\Result\Redirect $resultRedirect */
        $this->messageManager->addError(__('There is no sample file for this entity.'));
        $resultRedirect = $this->resultRedirectFactory->create();
        $resultRedirect->setPath('*/import');
        return $resultRedirect;
    }

    $fileSize = isset($directoryRead->stat($filePath)['size'])
        ? $directoryRead->stat($filePath)['size'] : null;

    $this->fileFactory->create(
        $fileName,
        null,
        DirectoryList::VAR_DIR,
        'application/octet-stream',
        $fileSize
    );

    /** @var \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Raw $resultRaw */
    $resultRaw = $this->resultRawFactory->create();
    $resultRaw->setContents($directoryRead->readFile($filePath));
    return $resultRaw;
}`

This Code is taking sample Files only from the ImportExport-Module. There is no way to provide your own sample File.

Hi BaDos,
Any news from this issue? I am working on Magento 2 EE 2.14 and my custom sample csv file cannot be downloaded.
Thank you!
