I am building an application with NodeJs where multiple files will be uploaded. Below is my test case and I am getting this error Argument of type 'string[]' is not assignable to parameter of type 'MultipartValueSingle'.
This is the test case
it('Create feed (POST)', () => {
const video = path.resolve(__dirname, `../test-files/movie_video.mp4`);
const image = path.resolve(__dirname, `../test-files/thumbnail.jpg`);
const pdfDoc = path.resolve(__dirname, `../test-files/pdf_doc.pdf`);
const multipleFiles : string[] = [video, image, pdfDoc]
return request(app.getHttpServer())
.post('/feed')
.set('content-type', 'application/octet-stream')
.set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + accessToken)
.field('text', 'Aenean imperdiet. Nam ipsum risus,. Curabitur suscipit suscipit tellus.')
.field('payment_amount', 0)
.attach('postDocs', multipleFiles)
.expect(function (res) {
if (!('message' in res.body) || !('payload' in res.body)) {
throw new Error('Response should contain message and payload.');
} else if (res.body.message !== StatusMessages.Default) {
throw new Error('User not logged in');
}
if (!('user' in res.body.payload)) {
throw new Error('Payload should contain user.');
}
adminAccessToken = res.body.payload.access_token;
});
});
The error message is obvious, you should attach the multiple files by calling .attach() multiple times.
E.g.
index.ts:
import express from 'express';
import multer from 'multer';
const app = express();
const upload = multer();
const cpUpload = upload.fields([{ name: 'video' }, { name: 'image' }, { name: 'pdfDoc' }]);
app.post('/feed', cpUpload, (req, res) => {
console.log(req.files);
console.log(req.body);
res.sendStatus(200);
});
export { app };
index.test.ts:
import path from 'path';
import request from 'supertest';
import { app } from '.';
describe('69663276', () => {
it('Create feed (POST)', () => {
const video = path.resolve(__dirname, `./movie_video.mp4`);
const image = path.resolve(__dirname, `./thumbnail.jpg`);
const pdfDoc = path.resolve(__dirname, `./pdf_doc.pdf`);
const accessToken = '123';
return request(app)
.post('/feed')
.set('content-type', 'application/octet-stream')
.set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + accessToken)
.field('text', 'Aenean imperdiet. Nam ipsum risus,. Curabitur suscipit suscipit tellus.')
.field('payment_amount', 0)
.attach('video', video)
.attach('image', image)
.attach('pdfDoc', pdfDoc)
.expect(200);
});
});
test result:
