Formidable Upload Not Working: 'files" undefined, no error

问题

I'm trying to upload a file using formidable, following the tutorial in the Node Beginner Book. Following this code, I have a server modules that passes the request object to a requestHandler module. The main page loads a form with the following handler:

function start(response) {
    console.log("Request handler 'start' was called.");

    var body = '<html>'+
        '<head>'+
        '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"; '+
        'charset=UTF-8" />'+
        '</head>'+
        '<body>'+
        '<form action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data method="post">'+
        '<input type="file" name="upload" multiple="multiple"'+
        '<input type="submit" value="Upload file" />'+
        '</form>'+
        '</body>'+
        '</html>';

    response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});
    response.write(body);
    response.end();

}

When the form is submitted, the /upload path triggers the following upload handler function:

function upload(response,request) {
    console.log("Request handler 'upload' was called.");

    var form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
    console.log("about to parse");
    form.parse(request, function(error, fields, files) {
        console.log("parsing done");

        console.log(util.inspect({error: error, fields: fields, files: files}));

        fs.rename(files.upload.path, "/tmp/test.png", function(error) {
            if (error) {
                console.log(error);
                fs.unlink("/tmp/test.png");
                fs.rename(files.upload.path, "/tmp/test.png");
            }
        });
        response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});
        response.write("received image:<br/>");
        response.write("<img src='/show' />");
        reponse.end();
    });

}

When the upload button is clicked, however, the server crashes with the following error:

/home/****/Coding/nodebeginner/requestHandlers.js:38
        fs.rename(files.upload.path, "/tmp/test.png", function(erro
                              ^

    at process._tickCallback (node.js:415:13)

So evidently the files variable is undefined. I thought there might be an error, but no the error variable is set to null. So I'm a bit stumped here. Ideas?

I had same problem. I think you see those line code on Node Beginner Book, at the end of the book. I fixed it by removed follow code on server.js file:

//      req.setEncoding("utf8");
//        req.addListener("data", function(postDataChunk) {
//            postData += postDataChunk;
//        });
//        req.addListener("end", function() {
//            route(handle, pathname, res, req);
//        });

Just do:

route(handle, pathname, res, req);

And last, you must be careful at html form tags.

Sorry for my English and best wishes!

I'm also having the same issue. Your form tag is missing a closing double quote(") on the enctype attribute.

I've got stuck at the same issue. Sounds like upload class have been replaced or misspelled. Try to change the reference from files.upload.path to files.Upload.path . It works here. Check out the master branch for further information : Git

回答4:

Looks like you have some errors in your "var body". Try :

var body = '<html>' +
  '<head>' +
  '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />' +
  '</head>' +
  '<body>' +
  '<form action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">' +
  '<input type="file" name="upload" multiple="multiple">' +
  '<input type="submit" value="Upload File">' +
  '</form>' +
  '</bidy>' +
  '</html>';

There is an error in the names of the parameters for the callback in form.parse.

The Node Beginner Book shows the code as:

form.parse(request, function(error, fields, files) {
    //code
}

The parameters should not be plural in the callback function:

form.parse(request, function(error, field, file) {
    //code
}

Take a look at IncomingForm.prototype.parse in /node_modlues/formidable/lib/incoming_form.js. The callback is listening for singular "field" and "file" .
