Can't upload files in electron app console (webui works fine)

[daviddias]

Throws this error:

The only fs.createReadStream is on this function of the Bundle:

  function getFileStream (files, boundary) {
    if (!files) return null

    var mp = new Multipart(boundary)
    if (!Array.isArray(files)) files = [files]

    for (var i in files) {
      var file = files[i]

      if (typeof file === 'string') {
        // TODO: get actual content type
        mp.addPart({
          body: fs.createReadStream(file),
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
            'Content-Disposition': 'file; name="file"; filename="' + file + '"'
          }
        })

      } else if (Buffer.isBuffer(file)) {
        mp.addPart({
          body: file,
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
            'Content-Disposition': 'file; name="file"; filename=""'
          }
        })
      }
    }

    return mp
  }

In console mode, this file is empty:

https://github.com/ipfs/webui/blob/master/js/pages/files.jsx#L78
[14147:0812/231317:INFO:CONSOLE(895)] "adding file: ", source: http://127.0.0.1:5001/ipfs/QmS2HL9v5YeKgQkkWMvs1EMnFtUowTEdFfSSeMT4pos1e6/bundle.js (895)

And that is why it evals it to a string and breaks.

I believe this is fixed for you now

Needs ipfs/ipfs-webui#75 to be merged and released

[jbenet]

ipfs/ipfs-webui#75 merged. release is trickier-- need to PR against go-ipfs.

(we should think about how to do upgrades without requiring compilation. easy options for now:

• require config change (ew)
• give user a big warning page, (and user can chose to "install it" to allow it henceforth.) (very tricky UX for security)
• sign the root, check for our sig. (this is cool)

@diasdavid can we close this?

Ideas why?

Ideas why?

Not really, I think somewhere where are not cleaning up properly, but I wasn't able to track down where exactly.

Closing as this should work now, please reopen with details if still an issue
