PayloadTooLargeError: File truncated as it exceeds the byte size limit.

[AlexJohnSadowski]

I know the error is quite old, but I think it's still relevant. Or something's missing from the documentation, because I cannot find the way to catch that error in my application, hence it crashes the server. Try-catch doesn't work, Promises don't work. What's the solution to handle that? Read bunch of threads, but none of it helps. Ofc. if the file is smaller all works perfectly.

index.js

 async function startServer() {
    const server = new ApolloServer({
      typeDefs,
      resolvers,
      context: ({ req }): Dependencies => new Dependencies(container),
    });
    await server.start();

    const app = express();

    // This middleware should be added before calling `applyMiddleware`.
    app.use(graphqlUploadExpress({ maxFileSize: 1000000, maxFiles: 10 }));

    server.applyMiddleware({ app });

    await new Promise<void>((r) => app.listen({ port: process.env.PORT || 4000 }, r));

    console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:${process.env.PORT || 4000}${server.graphqlPath}`);
  }
  await startServer();
})();

Mutation:

public async photoUpload(file: Photo) {
    try {
      const { createReadStream, filename, mimetype, encoding } = await file;
      const stream = createReadStream();

      if (mimetype === 'image/png' || mimetype === 'image/jpg' || mimetype === 'image/jpeg') {
        this.azureBlobStorageService.uploadFile('images', stream);
        return { filename, mimetype, encoding };
      } else return console.log('Wrong file type or the file is too big!');
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  }
}

Error:

/node_modules/graphql-upload/public/processRequest.js:264

 fileError = createError(
                    ^
PayloadTooLargeError: File truncated as it exceeds the 1000000 byte size limit.

I have the same issue, any solutions @AidaRvi @reda-xk7 @AlexJohnSadowski ?

[mozsinrb]

any update on this issue?

I did some digging, and found in processRequest.js that createReadStream method is being called once before stream.on('limit',...) emits an error. So, the thrown error is going no where!

Not sure what's the solution here or if its an implementation bug? @jaydenseric
