[NODE] "TypeError: file.match is not a function" when uploading

I tried all different signature for uploading file in node.js :

cloudinary.v2.uploader.upload(file, options, callback); // http://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_upload_api_reference#api_example_1

cloudinary.uploader.upload(file, callback, options); // http://cloudinary.com/documentation/node_image_upload

Each time i have an exception :

TypeError: file.match is not a function

Documentation say this :
The file to upload. Can be a local file path (supported in SDKs only), the actual data (byte array buffer), the Data URI (Base64 encoded), a remote FTP, HTTP or HTTPS URL of an existing file, or an S3 URL (of a whitelisted bucket).

So I try to pass a buffer.

Always the same issue

well i didn't remember my that post.

Today i use cloudinary.uploader.upload_stream function. I had no issue with it. See below how i use it with a buffer.

class BufferStream extends stream.Readable {
constructor(buffer, options) {
super(options || {});
this.buffer = buffer;
}
_read(size) {
if (this.buffer.length === 0) {
this.push(null);
} else {
this.push(this.buffer.slice(0, size));
this.buffer = this.buffer.slice(size);
}
}
}

var stream = new BufferStream(myFileBuffer);
stream.pipe(cloudinary.uploader.upload_stream(callback));
