TypeError: RequestInit: duplex option is required when sending a body.

[Raman-Raje]

Hi, I was working with ipfs-http-client version ^59.0.0. Everything was working fine, and I did some updates through brew, and Node got updated to V19. Previously I was on V18.13.0

Now the code is giving above mentioned error while performing ipfs.add operation. For other ipfs operations, everything is working fine. I did downgrade to node V18.13.0, but the issue is still there. I am not sure what wrong i am doing.

I am using Mac OS. Here is the code to reproduce the issue...

const ipfs = create({
    host: 'ipfs.infura.io',
    port: 5001,
    protocol: 'https',
    headers: {
        authorization: auth,
    },
});

const filepath = "./github.png";

fs.readFile(filepath, async (err , data) => {
    if (err){
        console.error(err);
    }
    const filename = filepath.split("/").pop();
    const result = await ipfs.add({path:filename,content:Buffer.from(data)});
    console.log(result);
}); 

Here is the error log :-

I am seeing the same problem. I tried a bunch of old versions, and they all seem to do the same thing. Here's the code:

import { create } from 'ipfs-http-client'

const ipfs = create({ url: '/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001' })
const { cid } = await ipfs.add('Hello world!')
console.log(cid)

And here's the output:

> node root.js

node:internal/deps/undici/undici:14062
    Error.captureStackTrace(err, this);
          ^

any update for this issue

[Raman-Raje]

I have found the solution. In my case, my node version got updated. Reverted it back to V16. Its working fine for me

[lucas-sdl]

What version node are you on? I'm hitting this error on 16.17.1

[Raman-Raje]

I am on V16.15.1. Try This one. Best Luck

[miladezzat]

I am switch to v18.12.1 and it works fine

[dvncan]

^ditto.. I didnt specify my node version past 18.x.x when deploying to heroku where they had recently changed default from 18.12 -> 18.13 which seems to break ipfs-https-client

[Raman-Raje]

I believe its resolved now. Closing the issue
