TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not FileStorage keeps popping up

Question

def convertToBinaryData(filename):
    # Convert digital data to binary format
    with open(filename, 'rb') as file:
        binaryData = file.read()
    return binaryData

This is my function for converting an image to binary...

uploaded_file = request.files['file']
if uploaded_file.filename != '':
    uploaded_file.save(uploaded_file.filename)
    empPicture = convertToBinaryData(uploaded_file)

and this is the block of code where the uploaded file is received and saved, however, when it runs, I get this error...

    with open(filename, 'rb') as file:
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not FileStorage

I'm pretty new to python and I've been stuck on this for a while, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

在调用“ convertToBinaryData ”时，您正在传递“ uploaded_file”' which is not a filename but and object.

您需要将文件名（如果保存在自定义位置，则具有正确的路径）传递到您的“ convertToBinaryData” ”函数。

像这样的东西：

convertToBinaryData(uploaded_file.filename)
