Summary
Fixes an off-by-one issue where Multer throws a "File too large" error
when the uploaded file size is exactly equal to
limits.fileSize.Root Cause
Busboy emits a
limitevent when the file size equals the limit.Multer interpreted this as an overflow, rejecting valid uploads.
Fix
Adjusted the limit logic by incrementing
limits.fileSizeby 1 beforepassing to Busboy. This ensures only files exceeding the limit are rejected.
Testing
✅ Uploaded files with size exactly equal to
limits.fileSize→ success✅ Uploaded files exceeding the limit → correctly rejected
