rest_upload_no_data issue

[cungminh2710]

I had a piece of NodeJs code that retrieve buffer from a image URL then upload to Wordpress using wp.media().

const axios = require('axios');
// Setting up wordpress library and auth 
const wordpress = require('wpapi');
const wp = new wordpress(auth);

let retrieveImageBuffer = url => axios
		.get(url, {
			responseType: "arraybuffer"
		})
		.then(response => Promise.resolve(new Buffer(response.data, "binary")));
}

let run = async (url, fileOption) => {
                let buffer = await retrieveImageBuffer(url);
		try {
			let result = await wp
				.media()
				.file(buffer)
				.create(fileOption);
		} catch (err) {
			console.log(err.message);
		}
}

run(url, fileOption);

What I get after running the script: Error: No data supplied

I have the same problem. Anyone can help with a working example on how to use Buffer?

@cungminh2710 I just ran into the same issue. I was able to solve it by applying a filename as second parameter: wp.media().file(buffer, 'image.jpg').create(fileOption).

Hope this helps.

Thank you @cungminh2710 for raising the issue, and @mvhirsch for identifying the problem. We will be shipping an improved error notification for this situation in the upcoming v1.2.2 release so that it is more obvious that name is required when passing .file() a Buffer object. We have also expanded the documentation with a note about the issue.

I appreciate your support!
