Node JS: File upload Error [ERR_STREAM_WRITE_AFTER_END]


So What I am trying to do is that I am simply uploading Files to A particular folder using nodeJS with the help of Formidable Module, using the following reference. File Upload using nodeJS

Now, my file gets uploaded to the Folder which I want, but as I am running the command from the CLI, it gives me an error

Here is the code that I tried :

var http = require('http') ;
var formidable = require('formidable') ;
var fs = require('fs');


http.createServer(function(req, res){
if(req.url == '/fileUpload'){
    var form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
    form.parse(req, function(err,fields,files){
        var oldpath = files.filetoupload.path;
        var newpath = 'C://xampp/htdocs/nodejs/upload/' + files.filetoupload.name;
        fs.rename(oldpath, newpath, function (err){
            if(err) throw err;
            res.write('File Uploaded and Moved !!');
            res.end();
        });
        res.write('File Uploaded');
        res.end();
    });
}
else{
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'}) ;
    res.write('<form action="fileUpload" method = "post" enctype="multipart/form-data">');
    res.write('<input type = "file" name="filetoupload" /><br/>') ;
    res.write('<input type="submit" />') ;
    res.write('</form>') ;
    return res.end() ;
    }
}).listen(8080) ;

The Error I am getting is :

> Error [ERR_STREAM_WRITE_AFTER_END]: write after end
>     at write_ (_http_outgoing.js:572:17)
>     at ServerResponse.write (_http_outgoing.js:567:10)

Solution

  • You are trying to write after you've closed the stream.

    
        var form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
        form.parse(req, function(err,fields,files){
            var oldpath = files.filetoupload.path;
            var newpath = 'C://xampp/htdocs/nodejs/upload/' + files.filetoupload.name;
            fs.rename(oldpath, newpath, function (err){
                if(err) throw err;
                res.write('File Uploaded and Moved !!');
                res.end(); // here, remove this end call
            });
        });
