Hi @jbitsch

You mentioned that you have been cloned the API repo. So I assume that you are using APP and API individually.

If yes then may I know the version of APP? As I just checked it with the latest version of both of them but not able to replicate it.

Can confirm I have this issue too, though it may be unrelated, I'm using the latest suite release. @bjgajjar

@bjgajjar I found The bug/problem 😄
In our api.php we are setting the env under app like so
'app' => [ 'env' => ENV, 'timezone' => 'Europe/Copenhagen', ]

But this breaks the file upload. If i change it to

'app' => [
        'env' => 'production',
        'timezone' => 'Europe/Copenhagen',
 ]

Everything else than production as env makes the file upload break.

The above is tested with a clean installation of both the API and th APP from the master branch.

[bjgajjar]

Maybe you are right. That's why I was not able to replicate this issue. As my env was production.

[shealavington]

May not be related, but considering I have the same error in console, it may be...

I'm getting a 500 internal server error when the APP tries to 'PATCH' an item after updating the 'files' with newly selected images.

Still facing the same errors in v8.4.0. The annoying thing about it is that further JS isn't working anymore, the upload modal is stuck. The env flag is set to 'production' in my config file _.php.
But I discovered a PHP warning in my JSON response of POST request /_/files:
<b>Notice</b>: Trying to get property 'format' of non-object in <b>/www/htdocs/dev/src/core/Directus/Filesystem/Files.php</b> on line <b>337</b><br /> <br /> <b>Notice</b>: Trying to get property 'duration' of non-object in <b>/www/htdocs/dev/src/core/Directus/Filesystem/Files.php</b> on line <b>337</b><br />

One quick update: ffprobe respectively ffmpeg is used to get the duration and format of an audio file. ffmpeg is rarely offered in shared hosting environments.
