Error: Cannot set property 'hash' of undefined

Hello, I am trying to save/upload a png to IPFS using saveIPFS method, but now I am getting the error ā€œError: Cannot set property ā€˜hashā€™ of undefinedā€

This is how i am calling the methods. The error seems to throw inside the saveIPFS method. Any idea what it could be? I followed the docs/tutorial pretty much exactly. (buffer is the base64 png string)
Maybe Im not supposed to use 'useMasterKey", but if I donā€™t put that in I get the ā€œError: File upload by public is disabled.ā€ error.

const file = new Moralis.File('filename.png',{base64 : buffer});   
await nftFile.saveIPFS({ useMasterKey: true });       
const nftFilePath = nftFile.ipfs();
const nftFileHash = nftFile.hash();

Hi kedpack,

  • Have you upgraded your server to the latest version? Always try pressing the ā€œUpgrade/Restartā€ button.
  • What is the size of the file being uploaded? The max file size is supposed to be 64MB but if youā€™re having problems with smaller file sizes then some of our settings may have gotten messed up.

I am getting the same error saving a file >2MB

Hello @_Ty useMasterKey is bypassing the error but I donā€™t believe you are actually authenticated. Are you providing the Master key in the Moralis.initialize call? This is not reccomened and authenticating is the preferred method.

Hey @rph, I am using an authenticated user (checked with user.attributes.authData.moralisEth.data logged to the console to be sure) and I am not using the Master key for the call. The only time I am using the master key is in cloud functions saving/finding data to/in the User table. Any file I save to ipfs using .saveIPFS() below 2mb goes through no problem, but when I try something larger I am getting the error mentioned above. Could there be an error in my code I am not seeing that would cause this? I havenā€™t dealt with this error message before

FYI there is a limit to Moralis.File sizes of around 3MB when saving to the database.

When saving to IPFS this limit should be closer to the 64MB limit mentioned in the docs. Weā€™re working on fixing this issue.

I have the latest version of the server. Btw, I am doing in this Node,js (not UI), maybe I have to do something different? Actually now that i think about it that may be the issue. I am authenticated on frontend but not on backendā€¦ let me test it out

UPDATE

Ok so I confirmed it is same issue as @_Ty. When I upload a small image size (less than 2mb) it works. 2mb is really small cap for uploading an image on ipfsā€¦ is this a bug? (How does moralis database effect ipfs?)

@kedpak update your server to 0.0.223 they fixed it :+1:
