Cloud-code: problem creating parse-file

[Dibeapp]

Hello,

I managed to deploy and run my parse-server locally connecting it to hosted mongolab, that's great! Almost everything seems to work fine!!

I have a small issue with the creation of a parse-file in cloud code: with the following piece of code I'm calling a service to generate a QR Code, then I am storing the generated code as a parse-file and attaching it to an object. It works OK with the parse hosted services but not working with local parse-server, it seems to store an empty file...

any known issues with parse files and cloud code ?

Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
url: "https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data="+passURL+"&size=220x220",
followRedirects: true,
success:function(httpResponse) {
console.log('generatePass:calling qr...OK');
console.log('generatePass:saving file...');
var parseFile = new Parse.File(shortId, {base64: httpResponse.buffer.toString('base64', 0, httpResponse.buffer.length)});
parseFile.save({
success:function() {
console.log('generatePass:saving file...OK');
photoObj.set("qrcode", parseFile);

Have you checked that httpResponse.buffer is populated?

Thank you very much for the answer! I'll try to debug it today and give you more info today... I was wondering is there is a known issue since the same piece of code works perfectly in the "classic" parse.com

Hello,

I'm still struggling with this problem. I made this test: I hardcoded the url of the QR code service to:

Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
url: "https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=abcd",
...

and I deployed it in both versions of the parse server cloud-code: hosted and local. The funny thing is that the results returned by the two versions of the server are different (check below).

May be the two versions of parse server use encode the results differently?

Using hosted parse, the base64 string returned is this:
(result is truncated but it is actually an image because shows it correclty in the app)

Using parse local, the base64 string returned by the service is:
(this is apparantlely not base64 of an image)

I'm having this same issue as well. I've been trying to figure out a solution, will get back and let you know If I do...or if anyone knows that would be great.
