  What is this? I don't recognize Next.js or Payload in this code.

  try

  req?.json && await req.json()

  or sth

  
  
  

  typescript should indicate that

• 

  teneburulast year

  curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/media/test
  
  {"errors":[{"message":"Something went wrong."}]

  
  
  

  with this the ide doesn't show typescript error anymore but the result is the same, the server logs Unexpected end of JSON input

  show me full code

•

  try to remove .next folder

  
  
  

  stop dev then remove .next folder then start dev again

  
  
  

  why your url is api/media/test?
• 

  teneburulast year

  i'm in a plugin create-payload-app template by the way, the endpoint is in

  
  
  

  export default buildConfig({
    admin: {
      autoLogin: devUser,
      importMap: {
        baseDir: path.resolve(dirname),
      },
    },
    collections: [
      {
        slug: 'posts',
        fields: [],
      },
      {
        slug: 'media',
        fields: [],
        upload: {
          staticDir: path.resolve(dirname, 'media'),
        },
        endpoints: [test],
      },
    ],

  do you try request to api/test?

• 

  adrian8749last year

  Show me also fetch request, and please provide test.ts in discord brackets as I am on phone

• 

  teneburulast year

  it's api/media/test it returns error, /api/test returns 404 in server logs

  
  
  

  import { Endpoint, PayloadRequest } from 'payload'
  
  export const test: Endpoint = {
    path: '/test',
    method: 'post',
    handler: async (req: PayloadRequest) => {
      const body = req?.json && (await req.json())
      console.log(body)
      return new Response('OK', { status: 200 })
    },
  }

  could you show me how you make the request to /api/test?

• 

  adrian8749last year

  Yeah show fetch request

• 

  teneburulast year

  oh i managed to do it ?

  
  
  

  i used curl to do the request not a fetch()

  
  
  

  i think i just had a bad syntax on -d it works now

• 

  .quantranlast year

  copy and past the curl here, or screenshot it

• 

  adrian8749last year

  Personally I recommend axios for frontend

• 

  teneburulast year

  will do !

  
  
  

  don't worry it's okay now

• 

  .quantranlast year

  🤡 you need go to bed dude

  
  
  

  😄 good to hear it, i'm sleep now

• 

  teneburulast year

  it's 6pm here, but i do need to sleep for like a week like a polar bear

  
  
  
  
  

  have a good night!!

  we get this error internally in payload as well, in some cases the body isnt available OR the stream abruptly ends via cancellation or something from the browser

• 

  teneburulast year

  oh i'm not so crazy then !!

  
  
  

  i don't know how i fixed it, i changed the syntax of my curl, i added allowImportingTsExtensions in ts.config, and i moved the endpoint file's relative path all at once and on next request it was working
