File Failed to Upload, Server SDK Node
Hey so, I have a POST route that I'm trying to upload a file on and it's been giving me nothing but problems today.
So basically a user sends a POST request to my route with FormData, like so
TypeScript
export const updateAvatar = async (
userData: Partial<AuthUser>,
avatar: File
): Promise<AuthUser | string> => {
try {
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("userData", JSON.stringify(userData));
formData.append("avatar", avatar, avatar.name);
console.log("formData", formData.get("avatar"));
const response = await ky(`${API_URL}/api/auth/avatar.json`, {
method: "POST",
body: formData,
credentials: "include",
});
I then receive that on my server (same place lol)
TypeScript
export const POST = async ({
request,
cookies,
}: APIContext): Promise<Response> => {
try {
const userApi = new UserApi(cookies);
const formData = await request.formData();
const userData = JSON.parse(formData.get("userData") as string);
const avatar = formData.get("avatar") as File;
console.log("Avatar: ", avatar);
// Parse and validate user data using AuthUserSchema
const parsedUserData = AuthUserSchema.parse(userData);
const curUserResponse = await userApi.getUser();
const curUser = curUserResponse.data;
if (parsedUserData.$id !== curUser?.$id) {
return new Response(makeResponse("Unauthorized"), {
status: 401,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
});
}
// Upload the avatar and update the user's avatar URL in the database
const updatedUserResponse = await userApi.uploadAvatar(avatar);
then, finally, it goes to my userApi, which, without pasting alot
TypeScript
async uploadAvatar(file: File)
// Upload the file
const fileCreated = await tryAwaitWithRetry(
async () =>
await this.storage.createFile(avatarStorageId, ID.unique(), file)
);
so. Not complex. I keep getting an error.
TypeScript
Avatar: File {
size: 43256,
type: 'image/webp',
name: 'Asset 6@0.5x.webp',
lastModified: 1717533215968
}
Failed to upload avatar: TypeError: source.on is not a function

at _Client.call (file:///home/zach/GitHub/myproject/webserver/node_modules/node-appwrite/dist/client.mjs:261:35)
So either a bug, or, cause it's right about the file
TL;DR
Developers are attempting to upload a file using FormData in Node JS but encountering a 'source.on is not a function' TypeError. The issue seems to be related to the file format or the FormData object setup. To troubleshoot, ensure the file format is correct and the FormData configuration is accurate.
