Getting error while uploading attachment as a page

[smithkre]

Can't upload image by using

var msg = {
   attachment: fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/kitty.jpg')
};

localAPI.sendMessage(msg, "0000000000", function callback(obj, other) {
});

Error message on

ERR! ERROR in sendMessage --> { error: 'JSON.parse error. Check the detail property on this error.', ERR! ERROR in sendMessage --> detail: [SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input], ERR! ERROR in sendMessage --> res: '' }

In sendMessage.js defaultFuncs .post("https://www.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/send_messages.php", ctx.jar, form) .then(utils.parseAndCheckLogin)

If I send message. It call utils.parseAndCheckLogin 1 time But when I upload an attachment. Error happen.

Thank you :D

Hey! This looks similar to #125. Can you check if you can upload that jpg manually on FB chat? Can you print the whole stack trace too?

[Schmavery]

@smithkre I'm assuming that the file you named kitty.jpg actually exists in that directory and is actually a jpg. If not, that will probably cause this error. @bsansouci I'd imagine this is the same issue as #125 as the tests do check image upload. That said, I just looked and we're uploading a png in the test rather than a jpg. Thanks for your latest commit 90a06ed that checks the response code before attempting to parse (though we might want to talk about a more helpful error message there, as people will hit it a fair bit).

[bsansouci]

@smithkre Can you pull and check to see if that works now?

[smithkre]

Thanks for an update. I got this error.

[Error: parseAndCheckLogin got status code: 500. Bailing out of trying to parse response.]

This is my code.

if(object.attachment) {
        //var uuid1 = uuid.v1();
        //var file_name = uuid1 + '.png';
        //var file = fs.createWriteStream(file_name);
        //http.get(object.attachment, function(response) {
        //    response.pipe(file);
            object.attachment = fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/img.jpg');

            console.log(object);

            api.sendMessage(object, threadId, function callback(obj, messageInfo) {
                if(obj) {
                    console.error(obj);
                    res.json({complete: false});
                }
                else {
                    res.json({complete: true, info: messageInfo});
                }
            });
        //});

My img.jpg can upload manually.

I don't know which step got an error. As I walk though the source code. Image upload to facebook server is not wrong. I got an image url and object id from facebook. But It's error when try to send all message to facebook server.

[Schmavery]

Hey @smithkre, we are having a hard time reproing this issue. Can you attach the image you're trying to upload?

[smithkre]

Thank you @Schmavery

I chang to .png img.png.zip

[bsansouci]

Can you turn on verbose logging, try again and show us the logs. There should be a log starting with "parseAndCheckLogin: " containing the body of the response.

[smithkre]

@bsansouci, No logs show on screen. It's only has error messages.

I inspected in chrome while uploading an image. First time it's always get 400 error Then messenger request with OPTIONS method and header

Access-Control-Request-Method: POST Access-Control-Request-Headers: content-type

After I did this I try to POST data again I got 408 Error

defaultFuncs
        .options("https://upload.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/upload.php", ctx.jar, {})
        .then(function (data) {

          console.log(data.headers);
          defaultFuncs
            .postFormData("https://upload.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/upload.php", ctx.jar, form, {})
            //.then(utils.parseAndCheckLogin)
            .then(function(resData){
              console.log(resData);
              //if (resData.error) {
              //  throw resData;
              //}
              //
              //return resData.payload.metadata[0];
            });
        });

I add options method (by copy get method in utils.js).

PS. I am very new to javascript and nodejs.

[bsansouci]

Could you add console.log(data.body) here and copy paste the result here? I'm not sure OPTIONS is the right kind of request to be made here. In the end, to send the image you need to make a POST request for sure. @Schmavery any ideas?

[smithkre]

OPTIONS does not return message.

Do you don't get error while upload right?

My options look like this.

var options = {
                    pageID: activePageId,
                    listenEvents: true,
                    selfListen: true,
                    logLevel: "verbose"
                };

I will try to figure out again.

[Schmavery]

Ahh @bsansouci pretty sure our tests don't cover login as page.

I am also getting the same error, here's the verbose stack trace

I am able to upload the same file (image.png) through messenger on chrome.

[Schmavery]

@sauravtom are you also using our api as a page?

[sauravtom]

@Schmavery , yes I am using as a page.

P.S I just tried it without page, and it is working. But not able to get it working when using the API as page.

[Schmavery]

Ok great, I think it's pretty clear now that we fixed this issue for regular messages but not pages. Thanks.

[Schmavery]

We've done some fairly extensive looking into fixing this with no promising results yet, unfortunately.

[andrecordeiro]

Hy @Schmavery , I'm the same mistake:

my facebook account works in my client's not page.

[Error: parseAndCheckLogin got status code: 500. Bailing out of trying to parse response.]

[Schmavery]

Yes, something is still wrong with this request, but so far, we are unable to identify what is causing this.

[andrecordeiro]

No problems. thank you my friend!
