fs rename ENOENT about connect-multiparty HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you provide fuller code and what console.dir(req.files) gives you when the error occurs?

from connect-multiparty.

Here's the output of console.dir(req.files) and console.log(err) : Paste

The rest of the code involves making a database entry and rendering a response, but i don't think it matters much as the scripts halt at the error handler.

Thanks. I still at least need some kind of code. Like when are you doing the fs.rename, for example. Is it is the part event directly? Somewhere else? Are you even using events your callbacks? etc.

Ok, let's try try giving some more detail -

var temp_path = req.files.doc.path,
    target_path = './uploads/' + req.files.doc.name

//Some entries added to the database        
var a = new Model({
    key : value,
})

fs.rename(temp_path, target_path, function(err){

    if(err){
        console.log(err);
        req.flash('error', { msg : 'An error occurred in renaming the file' });
        return res.redirect('back');
    }

    fs.unlink(temp_path, function(){
        if(err){
            console.log(err)
            req.flash('error', { msg : 'An error occurred in unlinking the file' });
            return res.redirect('back');
        }

        a.save(function(err, up){
            if(err)
                console.log(err);
        });

        req.flash('success', { msg : req.files.doc.originalFilename + ' upload successfully '});        

}) 

I'm not sure whether this would help much, but this is all there is

So, node.js will give the error rename ENOENT if either side is not found. It's possible the path to your uploads folder is incorrect or the uploads folder does not exist (from your target_path variable). You are also not even using an absolute path there, so you may have a bad assumption as to where that path is relative from (hint: relative paths for fs are not the same as for require).

Please add the following right before your fs.rename call:

var path = require('path');
var dir = path.dirname(path.resolve(target_path));
if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) throw new Error(dir + " does not exist; you need to make it");

and see if it throws

I'm going to close this since I haven't heard back from you. Feel free to post a comment, though.
