It's difficult to understand what's happening from just this snippet of code. Can you provide a reproduction of this problem?

I've been doing some things recently with files and didn't have problems like this.

If you provide a reproduction, it'll be easier to help.

okay, thank you @StorytellerCZ

first or all, i am using the following dependencies for my ui:

• shadcn
• next
• nextui

i am trying to upload a file to the server and soon as i noticed its now working i decided to console.log what i am getting from the formData and found this :

if (file) { let formData = new FormData(); formData.append("profile_pic", file , file.name); // Append the file with its name console.log("Form content:", formData); }

console log result: FormData { profile_pic → {} }

if (file) { let formData = new FormData(); formData.append("profile_pic", file.name); // Append the file with its name console.log("Form content:", formData); }

console log result: FormData { profile_pic → "profileImage.webp" }

its not uploading the image file. returned {}

so i started trouble shooting and still that issue persist. i don't know what to do. does this mean i can upload life or images for some reasons i can fathom.
