ParseError while posting file with request #204

Closed kiranlm closed 4 years ago

kiranlm commented 4 years ago

I have tried to read file from request instead of physical path

gpxFile = request.files['gpx'].read()
gpx = gpxpy.parse(gpxFile)

This one give me some error like:

File "C:\Users\kiran\anaconda3\envs\runcoach\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 1315, in XML
    parser.feed(text)
  File "<string>", line None
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 1, column 1

Below one is working fine when I tried reading from local file:

gpx_file = open('data/tcs.gpx', 'r')
gpx = gpxpy.parse(gpx_file)

How can I parse the file from request

I'm posting as FormData like this: image

gpxpy.parse(gpxFile) accepts a file-like object or a string. In this case it probably isn't a valid file-like object or it's not a string. Log the type and contents of gpxFile to see what's in there.

Anyway, I'm closing this since this isn't an "issue" (it's a question - stackoverflow is a better places for asking questions).
