[SOLVED] My function runs twice on create file event when it's size is greater than 5mb

def main(req, res): """This function transcribes any audio file that is put into the bucket audio-files""" # Setup of various services client = Client() ( client.set_endpoint(req.variables.get("APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT", None)) .set_project(req.variables.get("APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID", None)) .set_key(req.variables.get("APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY", None)) )

storage = Storage(client)


# Get the event data
event_data = json.loads(req.variables.get("APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA", None))
event_name = req.variables.get("APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT", None)


return res.json(
    {
        "event_name": event_name
    }
)

I have the following functin it runs twice each time I run it on trigger of an event when a file is created in the bucket. I am uploading via the appwrite cloud console.

Get following as event

in respnse of both {"event_name":"buckets.647b122c985261158060.files.647f2a9b73d3aca5f718.create"} {"event_name":"buckets.647b122c985261158060.files.647f2a9b73d3aca5f718.create"}

This happens when the file is more that 5mb

Ohh

This happens when the file is more that 5mb

Make sense now.

Because when the file is more then 5MB the upload will dived to 5MB chunks

But I uploaded 1 file the event should not be fired twice

Is it a bug

Mmm, could be But maybe pepole like to track the upload progress..

For now what you can do is to check the chunkTotal and chunkUploaded in the event_data object to know if the upload has finished

https://appwrite.io/docs/models/file

Is there any other way to track progress of the upload

Within functions? I don't think so

In client sdk

You can tap into the onProgress method https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-for-web/blob/master/src/services/storage.ts#L155

Like so:

storage.createFile('[BUCKET_ID]', '[FILE_ID]', document.getElementById('uploader').files[0], null, (prg)=>{
  console.log(prg);
});

thanks for your effort

I will write a workaround for the evebts problem.

My function runs twice on create file event when it's size is greater than 5mb

but just for future if there is separate way of progress tracking. Shouldn't create fire a single event on file creation of more than 5mb

I don't think so, No.

Here's the related issue. feel free to 👍🏼 https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/4507

For now, you can check if chunks uploaded == chunks total in your function

Thanks steven

were you able to write a workaround for tracking the upload progress?

I am working on a project and i need to track the progress of the file upload
