Flows: Upload JSON File ?

[MentalGear]

I generate a JSON file in a Flow which I would like upload to Directus (Cloud).

First I tried to use the Run Script, which I can't use since it doesn't have FormData (no node.js).
Then, I tried with the Request Node, which has no option in the body to send FormData it seems.

Now I'm wondering if uploading a simple JSON file to Directus via Flows is even possible.

In the cloud you currently cannot allow the required packages to upload a file from within the run script sandbox. You'll have to save your generated JSON data to a collection in the database

Thx for the reply. Unfortunately I need it as a static file. Is there no way, maybe using the Webhook node ?

What do you mean by this? FormData isn't specific to Node.js: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData

Ah sorry, the "(no node.js)" confused me, you meant that it is not available in Node.js... I've just submitted a pull request to update the Docker image to Node.js v18 where FormData will be available: #16810

I actually did the same exact thing, but I get:

{
  "message": "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'status')"
}

And can't figure out how to not get this error. I can hit the same endpoint with the bearer and same payload with Postman.
I've also removed 0.0.0.0 from the env var IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST.

[fitu86]

try these values in the .env of the target application.

HOST="127.0.0.1"
PUBLIC_URL="https://example.com/"
IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST=""

Are you using nginx?

[ericandrewscott]

No. Docker + Redis.
I'll give those a try.
Should IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST be an empty array [] or an empty string?

[fitu86]

empty string

[ericandrewscott]

For some reason, that environment variable for HOST causes my deployment to fail. And without it, I'm still getting the error from earlier in the thread 😢
