I'm trying to upload the photo from postman to the folder, but I got "no such file or directory". I guess it might be because I wrote :
fs.readFileSync("./uploads")
I have searched about ways to change the path, so I tried:
fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './uploads'))
Or:
fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'uploads'))
Still doesn't work, does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!!!!

Use path.join
instead:
fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'uploads'))

Things to consider:
__dirname
returns the base path for the current script. For example, if your JavaScript is located at/my-project/src/foo.js
, then__dirname == '/my-project/src'
../uploads
does not seem to be a photo file (where is the conventional extension, like.png
?). Are you trying to enumerate files in a directory? If yes, then you should usefs.readdirSync(...)
.
If possible, show your project structure so that we can see where uploads
is located, and also show where is the entry point JavaScript.
