Core: Error: request entity too large

[bryannbarbosa]

I need to upload an image through a request, but when I upload, I find the following message:

'request entity too large'

Although I have configured the file size that will be received, what can I do to solve the problem?

[thetutlage]

Can u share the settings that you have changed and what's the file size?

[bryannbarbosa]

@thetutlage First of all, thank you.

This is the function I'm using:

async store({request, response}) {
  const profilePic = request.file('profile_pic', {
    types: ['image'],
    size: '60mb'
  })

  await profilePic.move(Helpers.tmpPath('uploads'), {
    name: `${new Date().getTime()}.${file.subtype}`
  })

  if(!profilePic.moved()) {
    return profilePic.error()
  }
  return 'File moved'
}

The size of image is 62,9 KB

@thetutlage I need to develop an important project using AdonisJS and I have a deadline, if you can help me in the shortest possible time, I would be immensely grateful

[thetutlage]

I tried your code and everything worked fine. Also the 60mb you have set is the current file max size. However you need to set the max payload size of request inside config/bodyParser.js file.

https://github.com/adonisjs/adonis-fullstack-app/blob/develop/config/bodyParser.js#L110

Also there was a typo that file.subtype has to be profilePic.subtype

[bryannbarbosa]

The real problem is that the content-type defined in the request was like "application / x-www-form-urlencoded", by disabling this in Postman, it ran perfectly, thanks!

[thetutlage]

Ohhh yeah, it has to be multipart/form-data

this is my code
const profilePic = request.file("profPic", {

Hey @emjea! 👋

You need to increase the size limit in config/bodyParser.js.
Also, make sure that your proxy configuration let you upload a big file.

Hi @RomainLanz !

Thanks so much :)

I have an issue but this time its from canvass dataURL. I already increase the limit to 100MB the error still display. I check the image size and its around 9KB only. Im using AJAX POST in submitting the data.
