Google Drive | 500 Unknown Error Yet File Still Created #3559
Description
An 'Unknown Error' with code 500 keeps returning when using the Node SDK and google drive to upload a file.
I have tested that my OAuth client is working as I am able to retrieve file metadata from the drive. However, when I go to run the upload script below I get a 500 error, despite the file actually being created in Google Drive...
Environment details
- OS: MacOS 14.5
- Node.js version: v22.4.1
googleapisversion: ^134.0.0
Steps to reproduce
Error Message
Google Drive API Error: {

export async function uploadFileToGoogleDrive(client: drive_v3.Drive, file: File, folderId?: string) {
const upload = async () => {
const response = await client.files.create({

const response = await upload()
console.log('file uploaded', response)
return response;
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error uploading file to Google Drive: ', err.stack);
if (err.response && err.response.data && err.response.data.error) {
console.error('Google Drive API Error:', err.response.data.error);
}
