Cypress-file-upload: [Bug] Cannot upload video files

[skjnldsv]

Hello again :)

The images processing works fine!
Though I started creating the video tests I have and it failed directly.
After some digging, it might be that the fixture base64 doesn't work with videos.

How can I use your plugin with hex or binary?
Or do you have any other workaround? :)

Thanks a lot!

@skjnldsv
thanks for submitting the issue (again)! 😄

Have you tried setting ({ encoding: 'binary' }) explicitly?

Aaaand i'll stop bothering you now I think! :see_no_evil:
I actually did try that before. I tried combining base64, hex, binary, but it was always failing. I did a lot of code change since and now specifying the encoding to binary seems to work.

No idea what was the issue before then, but it's working great now!
Thanks again! :wink:

[skjnldsv]

Aaha, this time I have something :)
Okay, the file indeed gets uploaded, but it gets corrupted.

proper one:
feb1d00f4c31952519e206ec9c927a63 video1.mp4
File on the test server
24fba509f698e024d1ff9e0415bb4414 video1.mp4

Any help?

PS: Base64 works fine for images.

This is a :roller_coaster: :grin:
Okay, so after trying to combine different options, 'base64' in the fixture AND in you file-upload plugin works fine for both :tada:

Thanks a lot for your help @abramenal :hugs: :bowing_woman:
