Lesson14: Error: readStream is not a readable stream or form data

[mikakort]

Issue description:

At 21:45:57, I try the command: hh deploy --tags randomipfs,mocks

I get this error: Error: readStream is not a readable stream or form data

I get the error three times since the problem is within the for loop containing the readableStreamForFIle variable.

My Code:

This is my code for uploadToPinata.js:

const pinataSDK = require("@pinata/sdk");
const path = require("path");
const fs = require("fs");
require("dotenv").config();

const pinataApiKey = process.env.PINATA_API_KEY;
const pinataApiSecret = process.env.PINATA_API_SECRET;
const pinata = new pinataSDK(pinataApiKey, pinataApiSecret);

async function storeImages(imagesFilePath) {
    const fullImagesPath = path.resolve(imagesFilePath);
    const files = fs.readdirSync(fullImagesPath).filter((file) => file.includes(".png"));
    let responses = [];
    for (fileIndex in files) {
        const readableStreamForFile = fs.createReadStream(`${fullImagesPath}/${files[fileIndex]}`);
        const options = {
            pinataMetadata: {
                name: files[fileIndex],
            },
        };
        try {
            const response = await pinata.pinFileToIPFS(
                pinataApiKey,
                pinataApiSecret,
                readableStreamForFile.path,
                options
            );
            responses.push(response);
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    }
    return { responses, files };
}

module.exports = { storeImages };

This is my code for 02-deploy-random-ipfs.js:

const { network, ethers } = require("hardhat");
const { developmentChains, networkConfig } = require("../helper-hardhat-config");
const { storeImages } = require("../utils/uploadToPinata");
const { verify } = require("../utils/verify");
require("dotenv").config();

const imagesLocation = "./images/randomNft";

module.exports = async ({ getNamedAccounts, deployments }) => {
    const { deploy, log } = deployments;
    const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts();
    const chainId = network.config.chainId;

    let vrfCoordinatorV2Address, subscriptionId, tokenUris;

    if (process.env.UPLOAD_TO_PINATA == "true") {
        tokenUris = await handleTokenUris();
    }

    if (developmentChains.includes(network.name)) {
        const vrfCoordinatorV2Mock = await ethers.getContract("VRFCoordinatorV2Mock");
        vrfCoordinatorV2Address = vrfCoordinatorV2Mock.address;
        const tx = await vrfCoordinatorV2Mock.createSubscription();
        const txReceipt = await tx.wait(1);
        subscriptionId = txReceipt.events[0].args.subId;
    } else {
        vrfCoordinatorV2Address = networkConfig[chainId].vrfCoordinatorV2;
        subscriptionId = networkConfig[chainId].subscriptionId;
    }

    log("-----------------------------------------");
    await storeImages(imagesLocation);
    // const args = [
    //     vrfCoordinatorV2Address,
    //     subscriptionId,
    //     networkConfig[chainId].gasLane,
    //     networkConfig[chainId].mintFee,
    //     networkConfig[chainId].callbackGasLimit,
    //     // Token URIs
    //     networkConfig[chainId].mintFee,
    // ];
};

async function handleTokenUris() {
    tokenUris = [];

    return tokenUris;
}

module.exports.tags = ["all", "randomipfs", "main"];

PS:

I tried debugging and trying to find the problem with the path. The value of readableStreamForFile.path is: "/home/mrpimp/linuxProjects/hardhat-nft/images/randomNft/pug.png"

I've also tried using the clone of this repository and I got the same error. My best guess is that Pinata updated their library recently or that there is a problem with my computer which seems unlikely.

@MrPimpDaddy69420 Add the forward slash at the end of images files folder path;

-"./images/randomNft"
+"./images/randomNft/"

@MrPimpDaddy69420 Leave your repo link, I will check it.

@MrPimpDaddy69420 Check this function; I have updated it now it is not throwing readStream error.

async function storeImages(imagesFilePath) {
    const fullImagesPath = path.resolve(imagesFilePath);
    const files = fs.readdirSync(fullImagesPath).filter((file) => file.includes(".png"));
    let responses = [];
    for (fileIndex in files) {
        const readableStreamForFile = fs.createReadStream(`${fullImagesPath}/${files[fileIndex]}`);
        const options = {
            pinataMetadata: {
                name: files[fileIndex],
            },
        };
        try {
            const response = await pinata.pinFileToIPFS(readableStreamForFile, options);
            responses.push(response);
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    }
    return { responses, files };
}

I get this error now: Error: No credentials provided! Please provide your pinata api key and pinata secret api key or your pinata JWT key as an argument when you start this script

@MrPimpDaddy69420 Here you can see how you can pass these keys. LINK

I get the same error.How did you solve that?
