Multer storage is not uploading file on server directory

Question

Multer is not uploading files on server directory below my source code to upload file. file object is created that means when i log req.files file are present but not uploading to directory.im using POSTMAN for API Testing sending file through formdata->uploadfiles and with key "uploadfiles" destinition function is not called because log inside function is not console the name "Hello "

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: function (req, file, cb) {
        console.log("Hello Umesh");
        cb(null, '../resources/uploads'); // Absolute path. Folder must exist, will not be created for you.
      },
      filename: function (req, file, cb) {
        console.log("Hello Umesh");
        cb(null, file.fieldname + '-' + Date.now());
      }
});

const upload = multer({
                         storage: storage,
                         limit:{filesize:10}

                    }).single('uploadfiles');

router.post('/save', function (req, res) { 
    upload(req, res, function (err) {
        if (err) {
            res.json({
                success: false,
                message:err
            });
        }
        else{
        res.json({
            success: true,
            message: req.file
        });
    }
    })
});

are you sure the directory at ../resources/uploads exists? (Maybe you want to use __dirname instead of ../ to make sure it's the correct path — djaax
does a folder uploads exist inside the resources folder? — djaax
yes but i wonder console is not printing the message inside destinition folder why? — Umesh Shende

Try to use the absolute path to the storage location:

cb(null, require('path').join(__dirname, '..', 'resources', 'uploads'));

instead:

cb(null, '../resources/uploads');

Update:

Since the working directory for functions from the fs module is the project's root folder (if you run the project with the npm start command), you can simply use this:

cb(null, 'resources/uploads');
