Multer not working properly when python requests is used to send data to express server.?

[mai1x9]

Hello there, i have written express server with multer integration. I am sending the request using python libary requests. here is my code for multer,

const Multer = require("multer");
const multer = Multer({
	storage: Multer.MemoryStorage,
	limits: {
	  fileSize: 1 * 1000 * 1024, // Maximum file size is 400kb
	},
  });
router.post('/edge/upload',
	multer.single("buffer"),
	image_service_controller
);

Where image_service_controller is the final controller where i want to save file to disk. Accesisng req.file is returning undefined

Python code:

import requests

files = {
            
           'buffer': open(filepath, 'rb')
}
r = requests.post(URL, files=files)

---

Also i want to send both JSON data and form data to backend, when I use below code,

import requests

payload = {
            "clientid": self.clientid,
            "real_filename": real_filename, 
            "unix": unix
}

files = {
            
           'buffer': open(filepath, 'rb')
}
r = requests.post(URL, json=data, files=files)

both req.body is returning [Object: null prototype] and req.file is returning undefined

My bad, i was calling multer twice accidentally, and hence the second call resulted in errors and undefined values
