file event is not triggered about connect-busboy HOT 14 CLOSED

I do see data when doing this
req.on('data', function(d) {
console.dir(''+d);
});

but req.busboy.on('file' is not firing...what could be wrong

from connect-busboy.

What does console.dir(req.headers['content-type']) show?

from connect-busboy.

I got:

'multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryVBzQ858LzyYb4fNA'

from connect-busboy.

Can you verify that there is data available from the request at that point by adding req.on('data', function(d) { console.dir(''+d); }); after the req.pipe(req.busboy);?

from connect-busboy.

When it works I have:

 '------WebKitFormBoundary0aO5BTZJMzQXbtVQ\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="file.csv"\r\nContent-Type: text/csv\r\n\r\nname,radius, ....

from connect-busboy.

What about when it doesn't work (when all you were seeing was your here output)? Do you get any data then?

from connect-busboy.

Also, if you can share the exact form you're trying (and which browser you're using), I can try to reproduce it on my end.

I don't see anything when it doesn't work. Must be my frontend which doesn't send the form correctly. I'm using angular with angular-file-upload to upload the file. So it could be complicated to share the code with you.

If you're not seeing any data when it doesn't work then some middleware up in your middleware stack must be reading all of the data before it gets to your route handler that uses busboy.

That makes sense. I'll investigate this. Thanks!

Ok, I found what the issue was: I was using bodyParser() 1.3.x. After switching to the latest version and using the proper middleware json/urlencoded, busboy works nicely. Thanks

Glad to hear you got things sorted out!
