Uploading large files

[Kakakirbz]

Hello! I am in need of big help. I am working on a module of my thesis that specifically can upload multiple files in one input. I tried uploading videos. I can upload videos that has a size of 20mb but when I tried and upload more than 100mb, it returns an error message. The problem is, I can't seem to upload files that are large.

Here is the error message

I hope this issue could be answered ASAP. Thank you ahead!

exactly same issue here

Here is how I fixed it 👍
node_modules>express-fileupload>lib>index.js and removed md5= md5(buf) on line 146
Its working now

A suggestion for the devs would be to replace md5: md5(buf), with md5: function() { return md5(buf); }, such that somebody can then use it as: req.files.foo.md5() - it not only solves this OOM issue but also makes the execution faster.

Also, a slightly better tweak compared to what @randomdipesh suggested would be to include the following in the code:

const mock = require('mock-require');
mock('md5', 'empty/functionThatReturnsArgument');
const upload = mock.reRequire('express-fileupload');

And add the following as dependencies:

    "mock-require": "3.0.2",
    "empty": "0.10.1",

I'm going to take @senakafdo's advice and update md5 to become a method for execution at will, as opposed to a property that's always available on the file object.

I'll try to get this pushed up in a major release sometime in the next week

Should be fixed in latest release: v1.0.0-alpha.1
