Payload error

[ Server!] PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

13 Replies

Hi @ArDev. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The error message "PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large" typically occurs when the size of the data being sent in the request exceeds the limit set by the server. This is not a Wasp-specific issue, but rather a common issue in web development, often encountered when dealing with file uploads or large amounts of data. In the context of Wasp, which uses Express.js on the server side, you might need to configure the middleware to increase the limit for incoming payloads. Unfortunately, the provided knowledge sources do not contain specific information on how to do this in Wasp. For more detailed help, you might want to check the official Wasp documentation or the Express.js documentation on how to handle large payloads. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

@kapa.ai can you send json data through wasp operations?

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, you can send JSON data through Wasp operations. Wasp uses superjson (https://github.com/blitz-js/superjson) under the hood, which means you're not limited to only sending and receiving JSON payloads. You can send and receive any superjson-compatible payload (like Dates, Sets, Lists, circular references, etc.) and let Wasp handle the (de)serialization. Here's an example of how you can send data through Wasp operations:

import { createTask, markTaskAsDone } from 'wasp/server/operations'

// The 'args' object is something sent by the caller (most often from the client)
export const createTask: CreateTask<Pick<Task, 'description'>, Task> = (args) => {
  // Implementation of the action
}

export const markTaskAsDone: MarkTaskAsDone<Pick<Task, 'id'>, void> = (args) => {
  // Implementation of the action
}

import { createTask, markTaskAsDone } from 'wasp/server/operations'

// The 'args' object is something sent by the caller (most often from the client)
export const createTask: CreateTask<Pick<Task, 'description'>, Task> = (args) => {
  // Implementation of the action
}

export const markTaskAsDone: MarkTaskAsDone<Pick<Task, 'id'>, void> = (args) => {
  // Implementation of the action
}

In this example, createTask and markTaskAsDone are actions that accept an object as an argument. This object is sent by the caller, most often from the client, and can contain any serializable data you wish to use inside the Action. Wasp will send this object over the network and pass it into the Action's implementation as its first positional argument. For more details, you can refer to the Wasp documentation on implementing actions (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/actions#implementing-actions-in-node). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

@kapa.ai whats the maximum bytes you can send through operations?

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but the provided knowledge sources do not specify a maximum size for the data you can send through Wasp operations. This limit might depend on various factors such as the server configuration, network conditions, and the specific technologies used in your stack. For more detailed information, you might want to check the official Wasp documentation or the documentation of the underlying technologies used by Wasp, such as Node.js and Express.js. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

why am i getting @kapa.ai 500 internal server when doing operations? const compressed= pako.deflate(JSON.stringify(alltxt)); const compressedBase64 = btoa(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, Array.from(compressed)));

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The HTTP 500 Internal Server Error is a general error message indicating that something has gone wrong on the server side, but the server could not be more specific on what the exact problem is. In Wasp, for security reasons, all exceptions thrown in the Action's or Query's NodeJS implementation are sent to the client as responses with the HTTP status code 500, with all other details removed. This is to prevent accidentally leaking possibly sensitive information over the network (source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/actions#error-handling), source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/queries#error-handling)). The code you provided is compressing a JSON string using the pako.deflate method and then encoding it to base64. If this operation is failing and causing a 500 error, it could be due to several reasons: 1. The alltxt variable might not be defined or might not be in the correct format expected by JSON.stringify. 2. The pako.deflate method might be failing to compress the stringified JSON. 3. The btoa function might be failing to create a base64-encoded ASCII string. To debug this, you could try logging the alltxt variable to ensure it contains the data you expect. You could also try wrapping your code in a try-catch block to catch and log any errors that occur during the execution of the code. However, without more context or error messages, it's hard to determine the exact cause of the 500 error. If the error is happening on the server side in a Wasp action or query, you might want to check the server logs or debug the server code to get more information about the error. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The HTTP 500 Internal Server Error is a general error message indicating that something unexpected happened on the server side. In Wasp, all exceptions thrown in the Action's or Query's NodeJS implementation are sent to the client as responses with the HTTP status code 500, with all other details removed. This is to prevent accidentally leaking possibly sensitive information over the network (source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/actions#error-handling), source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/queries#error-handling)).

If you're getting a 500 error when sending this data to the server, it could be due to several reasons: 1. The server might be having trouble decompressing or decoding the data. 2. The server might be expecting a different format or type of data. 3. There might be an error in the server-side code that processes the data. To debug this, you could try the following: 1. Check the server-side code that handles this operation. Make sure it's correctly decompressing and decoding the data, and that it's correctly handling any potential errors. 2. Try sending a smaller amount of data or a simpler test case to see if the problem is with the data itself or with the server-side code. 3. If possible, check the server logs or debug the server code to get more information about the error. Without more context or error messages, it's hard to determine the exact cause of the 500 error.

@ArDev Hey, let me dig into this. What are you sending, how large is it? Are you maybe uploading a file?

ArDevOP•4mo ago

a ton of text i did a workaround by just sending chunks, and it seemed to work

Filip•4mo ago

Ok, glad to hear it! Let me guess, AI prompt 😄
