Resending image in embed doesn't work on production, but works on dev

Hello, I have an function, that will resend any picture from a channel to another but in embed
Workflow is Channel A gets a message with picture -> picture gets broken down to a base64 stream -> saved to a sequelize database as a Sequelize.TEXT data type-> Loaded using fs to create the image into local directory -> Loaded using attachmentBuilder and then used in setImage() -> Then Bot sends that embed into a channel B

This all works on my computer when testing, but when deployed on production env, the images are broken and not working as it seems as seen in picture

npm list discord.js

This is what happens on production when I open the image

kibubekOP•4/11/23, 3:43 PM

This is while on local machine

I need to work with those images in outside of this scope. It's also an archiver and we've ran into issues where discord cdn deletes files after a while, when the original message is deleted -> hence defeating the purpose of archiving

Also it's fixed, if anyone stumbles upon a similiar issue, good luck, it's hell.

In summary the issue was caused either by something weird, or these issues:

fs acts different on linux than windows
It didnt process the image correctly in the stream (Happens even now, but I made a reprocessing function as a workaround)

I ended up compressing the images to 70% quality (Which I should've done at the start lol)
It works okayish now, which is acceptable for me

Nope, permissions were fine, it saved/deleted images as expected. File existed, and existed in time for it to get processed

Thank you for providing solutions, i'll close this post since it's fixed

async function saveImage(message) { const attachment = message.attachments.first(); if (attachment) { try { const response = await axios.get(attachment.url, { responseType: 'arraybuffer' }); const buffer = Buffer.from(response.data, 'binary'); const base64 = buffer.toString('base64'); Image.create({ userId: message.author.id, messageTimestamp: message.createdTimestamp.toString().slice(0, -3), messageUrl: message.url, messageId: message.id, //image: `data:${attachment.contentType};base64,${base64}` image: base64 }); } catch (error) { console.error('Error saving image to database:', error); } } }
