Skipper: File extension not appending

[masious]

Hi, When I receive the uploaded file using .upload, the file extension is not appended to the file.fd. Here is my code:

    this.req.file('photo').upload({
      dirname: require('path').resolve(sails.config.appPath, 'assets/images')
    }, async (err, [file]) => {
      if (err) {
        return exits.serverError(err);
      }
      console.log(file);
    });

According to the docs, it should append the extension by default. Is it something that I do wrong? Or is it some problem with the Skipper?

Hi @masious thank you for bring this issue to light. Have you been able to find a solution to this issue? Also could you point me to the section in the Docs you are referring to? Was it in the uploads section?

Hi @raqem. I was not able to find a solution. I ended up hard-coding the extension! No, I was referring to this. In saveAs description, it's said that:

By default, Skipper decides an "at-rest" filename for your uploaded files (called the fd) by generating a UUID and combining it with the file's original file extension when it was uploaded
