AdVideo example needed

[aaronblondeau]

I am trying to figure out how to build a creative that uses a video. However, there aren't any docs or examples that show how to accomplish this. I tried the following based on a working AdImage function that I have

async function createAdVideo(accountId, filepath) {
  const AdAccount = adsSdk.AdAccount;
  const account = new AdAccount(accountId);
  const AdVideo = adsSdk.AdVideo;
  
  var video = await account
  .createAdVideo(
    [],
    {
      [AdVideo.Fields.filepath]: filepath
    }
  )
  
  return video
}

But all I ever get is "FacebookRequestError: Video Upload Time Out: Your video upload timed out before it could be completed. This is probably because of a slow network connection or because the video you're trying to upload is too large. Please try again."

Personally, I ended up doing the request myself for the video upload:

const upload_url = `https://graph-video.facebook.com/v2.11/${account.id}/advideos`;

const data = new FormData();
data.append('access_token', FACEBOOK_TOKEN);
data.append('title', video.name);
data.append('file', video);

return axios.post(upload_url, data, {
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'
    }
}).then(response => {
    return new AdVideo(response.data.id);
});

It seems like this issue has been open for more than a few months now. We have made many changes in the SDK since then, including releasing a new version. If you can repro your specific issue with the latest version of the SDK, please create a new issue or comment here with further details.
