Strapi: File upload using Cloudinary errors when uploading file types other than image

[dorelljames]

Informations

• Node.js version: v10.11.0
• npm version: 6.4.1
• Strapi version:
• Database: MongoDB
• Operating system: macOS Sierra

What is the current behavior?

Using strapi-upload-cloudinary package, uploading _videos_ and other file types other than _image_ results to an error.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Install strapi-upload-cloudinary package.
   > npm i strapi-upload-cloudinary
2. Go to Plugins > File Upload.
3. Choose Cloudinary from Providers.
4. Set your Cloud name, API Key and API Secret and Save.
5. Go to Files Upload and upload a video file like mp4. Get one here if you don't have one: https://sample-videos.com/
6. Try PDF files or any other format other than image.
7. OBSERVED. Can't upload videos or any other format like PDF.

What is the expected behavior?

Should be able to upload any file format. This works out of the box with the default one.

Suggested solutions

Set resource_type to auto for Cloudinary to automatically detect file type and take care including 'video', 'pdf' and other file types.

Example code:

const upload_stream = cloudinary.uploader.upload_stream({})

to

const upload_stream = cloudinary.uploader.upload_stream({ resource_type: "auto" })

Although the file problem should have been fixed, it still happens with e.g. with files other than images and pdfs. The changes from #2390 using:
resource_type: "auto"
don't seem to work.

Hello,

i had the same problem in one of my projects.

Upgrading strapi-provider-upload-cloudinary in plugins/upload/package.json of my project from 3.0.0-alpha.15 to 3.0.0-alpha.26.2 fixed it for me.

https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/2390 was not included in 3.0.0-alpha.15.
