Multer middleware not working

I have an issue trying to implement a binary upload route using multer as a middleware.

Here’s my current code:

Meteor.startup(function() {
  var multer = Meteor.npmRequire('multer');
  var upload = multer({ storage: multer.memoryStorage() });
  Picker
    .filter(function(req, res) {
      return req.method === 'POST';
    })
    .route('/upload', function(params, req, res, next) {
      console.log(req.file);
      res.end();
    })
    .middleware(upload.single('excel'));
});

And the output of that console.log(req.file) is undefined. I’ve also logged the whole req object and cannot file any file property in it.

Hi @Svenskunganka I actually solved this I think. This works.

var multer = Meteor.npmRequire('multer'),
      upload = multer();

Picker.middleware(upload.any());

Picker.route('/incoming', function(params, req, res, next) {
    if (req.files && req.files.length > 0) {
      CSVParse(req.files[0].buffer, function(err, data){
        if (!err) {
          console.log(data);
        }
      });
    }
});

I had the same problem and there is no solution on the internet, so I tried to figure it out and finally I realised that the problem is from express-fileupload module if I use the multer before the line where I set the fileUpload middleware which is app.use(fileUpload()); it works fine and the multer middleware will be invoked without any problem, so I ended up to remove fileUpload module and everything works fine
