upload_stream timeout

Hello there,

I have this bit of code for uploading a stream to cloudinary. Problem is: it only works for files upto 50KB or so. Anything larger results in a timeout. I'm on the free plan. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

const uploadStream = cloudinary.v2.uploader.upload_stream(
 { tags: "test" },
 (error, result) => {
 console.log("cloudinary returning...");
 if (result) {
 console.log("result", result);
 } else {
 console.log("error", error);
 }
 }
);

const stream = file.createReadStream();
stream.pipe(uploadStream);

thanks,

Matt

  Sorry, fixed it already. This might be something for your documentation: Works out I had to wrap this in a promise, like so (graphql resolver):

  uploadFile: async (_, { upload }) => {
   const file = await upload // (using apollo 2.0 upload here)
  
   const uploadToCloudinary = () => {
     return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
       const uploadStream = cloudinary.v2.uploader.upload_stream(
         {
           tags: "test"
         },
        (error: any, result: any) => {
           if (result) {
             resolve(result);
           } else {
            reject(error);
           }
         }
       );
   
       const stream = file.createReadStream();
       stream.pipe(uploadStream);
     });
   };
  
   const result = await uploadToCloudinary();
   console.log(result);
  }

  Hi

   

  Thanks for your patience with the reply.

   

  When we try an upload stream without a promise we also get it to work.

  specifically the below code works:

  ------

  var cloudinary = require('cloudinary').v2;
  var fs = require('fs');
  var stream = cloudinary.uploader.upload_stream(function(error, result){console.log(result, error)});
  var file_reader = fs.createReadStream('<path_to_file>').pipe(stream);

  -------

  Hope this helps.

  Hello  Ido 

  Hello, am having  similar issue, i tried to follow the example above but is still not work.

  Am using apollo graphql to pass body of post and file upload, at the backend i console.log(file) and it shows the result below but i console.log(stream) it gives undefile . am trying to store it cloudinary before storing the link at MongoDb, but is the storing of the file at cloudinary  working. 

  Am having this error " 

  • TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be one of type string, Buffer, or URL. Received type undefined"

   

  

   

  Thanks for your help

  from the inform that was console.log(file), what will be the '<path_to_file>'  from the line   "var file_reader = fs.createReadStream('<path_to_file>').pipe(stream);"  ?

   

  is stream suppose to undefined ? 

  thanks for your help
