multer-s3 rename files uploads same image multiple times

Question

Help! No mater what I do I cant seem to give an image a custom file name using multer-s3. I have this really cool custom function that uploads images to s3. It works fine if I use the files original file name however when I try to use a custom file name it will upload the first image three times under the new file names. If anyone has any suggestions, insights or knows why this doesnt work. I'd apprecaite it.

var AWS = require("../AWS").AWS;
var s3 = require("../AWS").s3;
var multer = require("multer");
var multerS3 = require("multer-s3");
function generateKey(file, newFileName) {
  //   var finalFileName = newFileName + "." + file.originalname.split(".")[1];
  var finalFileName = newFileName + "." + file.originalname.split(".")[1];
  return finalFileName;
}
async function singleFileUpload(req, res, newFileName, bucketName, fieldName) {
  var fileFilter = (req, file, cb) => {
    var ext = file.originalname.split(".").slice(-1);
    if (ext == "jpg" || ext == "mp4" || ext == "wmv") {
      cb(null, true);
    } else {
      cb(new Error("invalid file format"), false);
    }
  };
  var upload = multer({
    fileFilter,
    storage: multerS3({
      s3,
      bucket: bucketName,
      acl: "public-read",
      metadata: function(req, file, cb) {
        cb(null, { test: "testing_meta_data!" });
      },
      //   key: function(req, file, cb) {
      //     // let fileExtension = file.originalname.split(".")[1];
      //     let finalFileName = file.originalname;
      //     console.log(finalFileName);
      //     cb(null, finalFileName);
      //   }
      key: function(req, file, cb) {
        var newKey = generateKey(file, newFileName);
        console.log("newKey", newKey);
        cb(null, newKey);
      }
    })
  });
  console.log(fieldName);
  var singleUpload = upload.any(fieldName);

  await singleUpload(req, res, error => {
    if (error) {
      throw error;
    } else {
      console.log("it worked");
    }
  });
}

Than i call my custom function like so

singleFileUpload(req, res, "myNewFileName" "mybucketName", fieldName);

I call this several times because I want the ability to rename each file. Thanks.

this code works.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3,
    bucket: process.env.BUCKET_NAME,
    metadata: function(req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, { fieldName: file.fieldname });
    },
    key: function(req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, reNameFiles(file, req.body.id, req.originalUrl));
    },
    contentType: multerS3.AUTO_CONTENT_TYPE
  })
});
function reNameFiles(file, id, type) {
  let lastIndex = type.lastIndexOf("/");
  let videoType = type.slice(lastIndex + 1);
  let finalFileName = "";
  if (videoType == "templateMainVideoThumbnail") {
    finalFileName =
      "templates/" +
      id +
      "/main/original/" +
      "video" +
      "." +
      file.originalname.split(".").slice(-1);
    return finalFileName;
  }
  for (let i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
    if (videoType === "templateExampleVideo" + i) {
      finalFileName =
        "templates/" +
        id +
        "/example" +
        i.toString() +
        "/original/example" +
        i.toString() +
        "." +
        file.originalname.split(".").slice(-1);
      return finalFileName;
    }
  }
  for (let j = 1; j <= 4; j++) {
    if (videoType === "templateExamplePoster" + j) {
      finalFileName =
        "templates/" +
        id +
        "/example" +
        j.toString() +
        "/poster." +
        file.originalname.split(".").slice(-1);
      return finalFileName;
    }
  }
  if (videoType === "templatePosterImage") {
    finalFileName =
      "templates/" +
      id +
      "/poster/poster" +
      "." +
      file.originalname.split(".").slice(-1);
    return finalFileName;
  }
  if (videoType == "templateThumbnailFiles") {
    let cleanOrginalName = file.originalname.replace(/\s/g, "");
    finalFileName =
      "templates/" + id + "/thumbnails/" + Date.now() + cleanOrginalName;
    return finalFileName;
  }
  if (videoType == "stockMainVideoThumbnail") {
    finalFileName =
      "stock/" +
      id +
      "/main/original/" +
      "video" +
      "." +
      file.originalname.split(".").slice(-1);
    return finalFileName;
  }
  if (videoType == "stockPosterImage") {
    finalFileName =
      "stock/" +
      id +
      "/poster/poster" +
      "." +
      file.originalname.split(".").slice(-1);
    return finalFileName;
  }
  if (videoType == "stockDownloadableFiles") {
    finalFileName = "stock/" + id + "/downloadable/" + file.originalname;
    return finalFileName;
  }
}
