Upload a file to Nodejs using python request

Question

I got some help here on the nodejs side: Extract file from POST request nodejs

I am new to node, and I am having problems getting this file node.js (Server PC)

var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var multer = require('multer')

var app = express();
var upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' })

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

/* POST commands */
app.post('/upload', upload.array(), function (req, res, next) {
console.log("I AM HERE");
})

python script (Client PC)

files = {'file': ('test_file', open(filePath, 'rb'))}
r = requests.post("http://192.168.2.39:3000/upload", files=files)

What am I doing wrong here? thanks

I am getting error 500,

Answer 1

in node.js change upload.array() to upload.array('file')

and in python :

files = {'file': ('test_file', open(filePath, 'rb'))} to

files = {'file':open(filepath,'rb')}
