Write/read error: no such file or directory

[Romans96]

i have this code:

const i = await jimp.read("./img/nero.jpg");
		//const srcImage = await jimp.read("./img/v.png");
		const font = await jimp.loadFont('./font/Windlass.fnt' /*jimp.FONT_SANS_32_WHITE*/);
		await i.resize(532,392);
		await i.print(font, 50, 50, 'Hello World!', 500);
		await i.print(font, 200, 50, 'Test 2a riga', 500);
		//i.composite(srcImage, 100, 0);
		await i.write('./nero.jpg', err => console.error('write error: ', err));
		await msg.channel.send({
			files: [
			  "./nero.jpg"
			]
		});
		fs.unlinkSync('./nero.jpg');

It gives 1 time on 2, Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'D:\Discord Bot\gamertags-img\nero.jpg'. I tried some things, searched, but nothing works...

it giveserror: no such files in the dir where i do i.write(myFile)

Basically your problem was using the callback style write instead of the promise based writeAsync

Things I changed:

• only function on the image with async in the name are async. so only they need to be awaited, not any image manipulation operations
• you can chain image manipulation function if you want
• write -> writeAsync - writeAsync will actually return a promise
• remove callback - writeAsync will throw an error and not use the callback for the error

const image = await jimp.read('./img/nero.jpg');
const font = await jimp.loadFont(
  './font/Windlass.fnt' /*jimp.FONT_SANS_32_WHITE*/
);

await image
  .resize(532, 392)
  .print(font, 50, 50, 'Hello World!', 500);
  .print(font, 200, 50, 'Test 2a riga', 500);
  .writeAsync('./nero.jpg');

await msg.channel.send({
  files: ['./nero.jpg']
});

fs.unlinkSync('./nero.jpg');

  .writeAsync('./nero.jpg');

await msg.channel.send({
  files: ['./nero.jpg']
});

fs.unlinkSync('./nero.jpg');

I tried changing in writeAsync, but it continues to gives the same error at Object.fs.unlinkSync

Did you try running my code? I had some syntax errors. I ran the following with no errors

const fs = require('fs');
const Jimp = require('jimp');

test();

async function test() {
  const image = await Jimp.read('./exampleImages/wings.jpg');
  const font = await Jimp.loadFont(Jimp.FONT_SANS_32_WHITE);

  await image
    .resize(532, 392)
    .print(font, 50, 50, 'Hello World!', 500)
    .print(font, 200, 50, 'Test 2a riga', 500)
    .writeAsync('./nero.jpg');

  // await msg.channel.send({
  //   files: ['./nero.jpg']
  // });

  fs.unlinkSync('./nero.jpg');
}

(i verified it was creating and unlinking the file)

ok tried again changin a bit of things, and now it seems it works. The only moment where it didn't works, was when i type the command before the bot/program hadn't sent the image (and the fs unlinked)

Thank you so much
