yeah so I'm getting bytes back from the get_file_view, and get_file_download, I thought I would get back a URL as with the desktop client?
TL;DR
Developers are experiencing an issue with the `getFileDownload` and `getFileView` endpoints in the Python SDK. They are receiving bytes instead of a URL when using these endpoints. They are unsure if this is the intended behavior for the server SDK. They have also tried converting the bytes to a string but have been unsuccessful. The error message they received when attempting to convert the bytes is included. They are wondering if this issue is normal or if it is a bug.
Solution: The cause of the issue is unclear. It is suggested to reach out to <@462046107556511744> for further clarification and assistance.TypeScript
image_document = self.database.add_user_image(
image_request.image,
f"{image_request.userId}_{datetime.now().timestamp()}{file_extension}",
image_request.mimetype,
image_request.userId,
)
print(f"Uploaded image document ID: {image_document.get('$id')}") # type: ignore
file_url = self.database.storage.get_file_view(
image_request.userId,
image_document.get("$id"), # type: ignore
)
print(f"File: {json.dumps(file_url, indent=4)}")
I've gotten back (from each endpoint) bytes and Idk why, so
TypeScript
print(f"File: {json.dumps(file_url, indent=4)}")

@Drake is this supposed to happen?
Or is the server SDK not meant to be used like this
cause I can't convert it to a string either
Only the web sdk gives a URL
