upload restart when finished

[xavax31]

Hi,

On android, "react-native": "0.64.2" , "react-native-background-upload": "^6.4.0" (i didn't try on ios):

When the upload progress is at 100%, it restart at 0 rather than trigger complete event. I try on both servers and config (one with symfony, the other just a minimal php file). This occurs with file size of about 6M or more, or with multiples uploads launched (some uploads restart). here's my reactnative code:

    const options: MultipartUploadOptions = {
      url: path_to_upload,
      path: uri,
      method: "POST",
      type: "multipart",
      field: "file",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
      },
    };

    Upload.startUpload(options)
      .then((uploadId) => {
        Upload.addListener("progress", uploadId, (data) => {
            console.log(
              `Uploading ${data.progress === 0 ? " <0> " : ""}: Progress: ${
                data.progress
              }%`,
              uploadId
            );
        });
        Upload.addListener("error", uploadId, (data: any) => {
          console.log(`Error: ${data.error}%`, uploadId);
        });
        Upload.addListener("cancelled", uploadId, (data) => {
          console.log(`Cancelled!`, uploadId);
        });
        Upload.addListener("completed", uploadId, (data) => {
          console.log("Completed!", uploadId, data);
        });
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        console.log("Upload error!", err);
      });

and the output log:

Sometimes, that works, sometimes it restart more than one time, sometimes it restart and return a timeout error. I tried a lot of options, with many medias (image, video, from ImagePicker or from Gallery, ...) without success.

Any help?

Yes, i am also facing the same issue😥

Please let me know if you get any solution.

nope, and it's really a problem, the feature is very instable for me. I need it for a professional project but I will surely have to remove it

How you removed it 🤔?

By not using it at all (removing the plugin), and then don't have background upload feature in my app, what is a real problem for me, but I have not other way.

I did dig in and found workaround. In my case, the problem occurred in android devices(rn 0.67.4, android 12) when the file path starts with 'content://'. My log said there was a mismatch btw transferred bytes and 'expected' bytes of the uploaded file. (It was uploaded via s3 presigned url)

 LOG  Error: expected 67661824 bytes but received 67665920%

Some fork in the other issue said to use 'original' path of the file or add 'file://' prefix but none of em worked for me. What worked was just copying the file to temporary file path and using this new temp path.

import RNFS, { copyFile } from 'react-native-fs';

  if (filePath.startsWith('content:')){
    const tempPath = `${RNFS.TemporaryDirectoryPath}/${fileName}`;
    console.log("TEMP PATH: "+tempPath);
    await copyFile(filePath, tempPath);
    filePath = tempPath;
  }

not the best, but good enough for my project.. for now. (it needs extra storage space and time to complete copying temp file though...)
