Identifying the Symptom

When attempting to upload a file to Supabase Storage, you may encounter an error message indicating InvalidUploadParameters. This error typically manifests as a failed upload attempt, accompanied by a message stating that the upload parameters are invalid or incomplete.

Exploring the Issue

The InvalidUploadParameters error occurs when the parameters provided during the file upload process do not meet the required specifications. This can happen if certain fields are missing, incorrectly formatted, or if there are discrepancies in the expected data types. Properly understanding the required parameters is crucial for successful file uploads.

Common Causes

  • Missing required fields such as bucket_id or file_path.
  • Incorrect data types for parameters like file or options.
  • Malformed JSON structure in the request body.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the InvalidUploadParameters error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify Required Fields

Ensure that all required fields are included in your upload request. At a minimum, you should provide:

  • bucket_id: The identifier for the storage bucket.
  • file_path: The path where the file will be stored.
  • file: The file object to be uploaded.

Step 2: Check Data Types

Confirm that the data types of your parameters match the expected types. For example, the file parameter should be a valid file object, and options should be a properly formatted JSON object if used.

Step 3: Review JSON Structure

If your request body is in JSON format, ensure that it is correctly structured and free of syntax errors. Use tools like JSONLint to validate your JSON.

Step 4: Test with Sample Code

Use the following sample code to test your upload process:

const { createClient } = require('@supabase/supabase-js');

const supabase = createClient('https://your-project.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key');

async function uploadFile() {
const { data, error } = await supabase.storage
.from('your-bucket')
.upload('path/to/file.txt', file);

if (error) console.error('Error uploading file:', error);
else console.log('File uploaded successfully:', data);
}

uploadFile();

Conclusion

By carefully reviewing and correcting the upload parameters, you can resolve the InvalidUploadParameters error and ensure successful file uploads to Supabase Storage. For more detailed information, refer to the Supabase Storage Documentation.
