Getting this error TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be of type string or an-CodePudding

I am trying to use payment gateway API, and create subscription but I am getting this error in title. I have tried debug and everything just don't understand what to do. No matter what I do I get the error.

Everything is fine the form is fine, just when click on submit that's when I get this error.

I am running this on localhost on my PC.

This is the errror:

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or Uint8Array. Received an instance of Object

This is my app.js code :

const express = require("express");
const https = require('https');
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var request = require('request');



const app = express();

app.get("/", function(req, res) {

  // https.get(url, function(response) {
  //   console.log(response.statusCode);
  // })
  res.sendFile(__dirname   "/index.html");


})

app.use(express.static("public"));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
  extended: true
}));

app.post("/", function(req, res) {

  const customerEmailV = req.body.email;
  const customerPhoneV = req.body.pNumber;
  const subscriptionIdV = req.body.sID;
  const planIdV = "001";
  const returnUrlV = "https://google.com";
  const paymentOptionV = "card";
  const cardNumberV = req.body.cNumber;
  const card_expiryMonthV = req.body.expiryM;
  const card_expiryYearV = req.body.expiryYYYY;
  const card_cvvV = req.body.cvv;
  const card_holderV = req.body.cardHolderName;
  
  // console.log(customerEmail, customerPhone,subscriptionId,planId,returnUrl,paymentOption,cardNumber,card_expiryMonth);
  // console.log(card_expiryYear,card_holder,card_cvv);

  // const dataJ = {
