createReadStream() throwing RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded when uploading file

Question

I am trying to use Apollo Server's Upload scalar to send files to S3 directly. My schema:

const { gql } = require('apollo-server-express')

module.exports = gql`

extend type Mutation {
  createPicture(
    name: String!
    picture: Upload!
  ): Picture!
}

type Picture {
  name: String!
  picture: String!
}
`

Resolver:

const { combineResolvers } = require('graphql-resolvers')
const isAuthenticated = require('./auth')
const { uploadPhoto } = require('../services/picture')

module.exports = {
  Mutation: {
    createPicture: combineResolvers(
      isAuthenticated,
      async (
        parent,
        { name, picture = null },
        { models, me }
      ) => {
        const { createReadStream, filename, mimetype, encoding } = await picture
        // Does not get past this line
        const stream = createReadStream()

        uploadPhoto(stream, filename)

        const pictureModel = models.Picture.create({
           name,
           picture
        })
        return pictureModel
      }
    )
  }
}

But my code errors like this:

internal/util.js:55
  function deprecated(...args) {
                     ^

Note: I am sure the image was sent correctly, as filename is correct

Answer 1

Add this to package.json:

"resolutions": {
    "**/**/fs-capacitor":"^6.2.0",
    "**/graphql-upload": "^11.0.0"
  }

Answer 2

Turns out it was this bug in graphql-upload. Downgraded to node 12 and it's fixed (solution listed there did not help me)

Answer 3

This error occured to me in node version 14 too! I solved it as follows:

1. Install latest version of graphql-upload !

2. use graphqlUploadExpress middleware to define the maximum file limit.

   import { graphqlUploadExpress } from "graphql-upload";
   const app = express()
   app.use(graphqlUploadExpress({ maxFileSize: 1000000000, maxFiles: 10 }));
   

3. Set uploads to false while initializing the ApolloServer

     const server = new ApolloServer({
       uploads: false,
       schema,
     });
   

Answer 4

Since it is a bug with fs-capacitor, this would help as we can see in this issue

Worked for me in node 14.16.1 with the following configuration:

"resolutions": {
    "fs-capacitor": "^6.2.0",
    "graphql-upload": "^11.0.0"
}

I needed to add force-resolutions inside "scripts"

"scripts": {
    ....
    "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions"
}

Remove ./node_modules and install dependencies again with npm install.
