Hi, I am trying to upload annotation file through an API against a task. But while uploading I am getting following error.

No such file were uploaded

I have also checked the logs. But don't see any errors there.

Here's my code:

const annotationData = new FormData();
annotationData.append('annotation_file', fs.createReadStream(annotationPath));

const { data: annotation } = await axiosClient
.post(
  `${host}/api/tasks/${task.id}/annotations?format=CVAT+1.1&location=local&filename=annotations.xml&conv_mask_to_poly=false`, //
  annotationData,
  {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Token ${authToken}`,
      sessionid: sessionToken,
      csrfAuth: csrfToken,
      ...annotationData.getHeaders(),
    },
  },
);

And here's the content of the XML file that I am trying to upload.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<annotations>
  <version>1.1</version>

But when I am uploading the same annotations.xml file through CVAT UI it works.

Sorry for tagging you directly @zhiltsov-max. But will you be able to please help here?

[zhiltsov-max]

Hi. This endpoint requires the data to be uploaded via the TUS protocol. Please use a specialized library for this, as the official CVAT UI and SDK do this. For javascript, it can be this library. If you can use python, consider using cvat-sdk. You can also use cvat-cli to upload annotations without coding.

Similar issue here with Python SDK here.

I have two CVAT instances, one on local machine, another on remote. Task creation on local machine works fine, but on remote I getting exception when I try to create task with annotations.

cvat_sdk.api_client.exceptions.ApiException: Status Code: 400
Reason: Bad Request
HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'Allow': 'GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS', 'Content-Length': '28', 'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.cvat+json', 'Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy': 'same-origin', 'Date': 'Fri, 09 Jun 2023 09:38:52 GMT', 'Referrer-Policy': 'same-origin', 'Server': 'nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)', 'Vary': 'Accept, Origin', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'X-Frame-Options': 'DENY', 'X-Request-Id': 'bf291e39-535a-48b8-bad8-20353761fa12'})
HTTP response body: b'"No such file were uploaded"'

My code:

    def create_task_(self,
                     name: str,
                     resources: List[str],
                     labels: Optional[list] = None,
                     an_file: Optional[str] = None,
                     an_format: Optional[str] = None,
                     project_id: Optional[int] = None):
        task_spec = {
            "name": name,
            "labels": labels,
            "project_id": project_id,
        }
        self._client.tasks.create_from_data(
            spec=task_spec,
            resource_type=ResourceType.LOCAL,
            resources=resources,
            annotation_format=an_format,
            annotation_path=an_file,
        )

What I'm doing wrong? Why on local it works but not on remote?
