Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory Nodejs

Question

I'm trying to upload a file and store it in an uploads folder, but I get this error: no such file or directory I get the message success in console but I get this error anyway.

POST /auth/register 500 21.023 ms - 260 Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open E:\IMPORTANT\INFO-DEV\DEV\ANGULAR NODEJS\API AUTH\uploads\1671534381494.jpeg

Here is my configuration code for upload.

const path = require("path"); const multer = require("multer"); const storage = multer.diskStorage({ destination: function (req, file, cb) { cb(null, "uploads/"); }, filename: function (req, file, cb) { const extension = path.extname(file.originalname); cb(null, Date.now() + extension); }, }); const upload = multer({ storage: storage, fileFilter: function (req, file, callback) { if ( file.mimetype == "image/png" || file.mimetype == "image/jpg" || file.mimetype == "image/jpeg" ) { callback(null, true); console.log("Image téléchargé avec succès"); // success message } else { callback(null, false); console.log("Seulement du fichier de type png, jpg ou jpeg"); // error message } }, limits: { fileSize: 1024 * 1024 * 2, }, }); module.exports = upload;

The issue is that your uploads folder doesn't exist or you set the path incorrectly.

I don't know where exactly you created uploads folder (and if you created it at all).

So in the destination param you should pass either:

path.join(__dirname, '/uploads') - in case that folder is in the same location where current js file is located.

Or path.join(process.cwd(), '/uploads') - in case if uploads folder is in the root of the project (where you run npm start etc.)

So, in short words you need to make sure folder exists and then make sure the path is correct.

P.S. Using ../../ syntax should also work, you can try ../uploads or ../../uploads if, for example, that folder is on higher levels of your folders structure.

Thank you for the answer. As you said so well, I just created an uploads folder and it worked.

I got the same error, but I was able to solve it by getting my current path.

import multer from "multer"; // Set up multer storage options const storage = multer.diskStorage({ destination: function (req, file, cb) { console.log("🚀 ~ file: upload.ts:11 ~ file", process.cwd()); cb(null, `${process.cwd()}/src/Images`); }, filename: function (req, file, cb) { cb(null, file.fieldname + "-" + Date.now()); }, }); // Create a multer instance with the storage options const upload = multer({ storage }); export default upload;

you can try your path name as like

img: { data: fs.readFileSync( path.join(__dirname + "../../uploads" + req.file.filename) ), contentType: "image/png", },

Change this line

cb(null, './uploads/');

this line cb(null, "uploads/");

or try cb(__dirname, "uploads/");

Thank you for the answer. I just created an uploads folder manually before running the query (with postman) and it worked.
