Hello, when i try to upload a base64 image in NodeJS, even some small ones such as 368kb i get the following error:

Error: ENAMETOOLONG: name too long, open 'data: image / jpg; base64 Followed by the base64 code that represents the image.

However, when i try to upload small images like 4kb i have sucess... This link says I can upload base64 images up to 60mb, so why i cant upload 368kb?

I've seen this issue on several other posts but couldn't find an answer or explenation

I really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

  Hey Miguel,

  My problem was solved
  Can't remember exactly what solved it for me but here is the upload code from the server:

  app.post(`/${url}`, function (req, res) {

   

      var dataURI = req.body.dataURI;

      var uploadStr = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + dataURI;

  
  

      cloudinary.v2.uploader.upload(uploadStr, {

          overwrite: true,

          invalidate: true,

          width: 810, height: 456, crop: "fill"

      },

          function (error, result) {

              res.json(result);

          });

  });

   

  Hope it help

  Asi

  Hi,

  The problem has taken place because you shouldn't place spaces into your

  data:image/jpeg;base64,[your_string] string.

  At least it solved the problem for me :)

  Hope it helps someone.

  (i wrote this for someone who would have the same problem in the future)

  Hi Asi, 

  Can you please open a support ticket via support@cloudinary.com and share the code responsible for the error alongside an example file that fails so we can further investigate the issue?

  Thanks!

  Buenos dias, 
  
  Estoy teniendo el mismo problemas y no puedo encontrar la solucion realmente. 

  const uploaded = await cloudinary.uploader.upload(image, {

                  upload_preset: 'winesImg'

              })

  ese seria el upload para subir la imagen a cloudinary, la propiedad image me llega por body la cual si la paso asi me tira el error de ENAMETOOLONG, en cambio, probe haciendo un console.log a lo que me llega y pegandolo en lugar de poner la image y si se carga en cloudinary. no puedo entender por que el error, estaria muy agradecido si puedieran ayudarme.

  Good morning, 

  I am having the same problem and can't really find the solution. 

  const uploaded = await cloudinary.uploader.upload(image, {

                  upload_preset: 'winesImg'

              })

  that would be the upload to upload the image to cloudinary, the image property arrives to me by body which if I pass it this way I get the error of ENAMETOOLONG, instead, try making a console.log to what I get and pasting it instead of putting the image and if it loads in cloudinary. I can not understand why the error, I would be very grateful if you could help me.
