I have some code that was working now it currently isn't even though the code hasn't changed. I am on a different puter now though.
I am getting an error about replacing a value with null though I have done some testing (console.log) and looks like nothing is ing back null. Below is the code as well as the error message. I did check the 'config' variable and it does have a value. I am wondering what this error means/what is causing it. I have tried google and found a few issues about it however none have a solution in them just a lot of "me too" responses.
Code
console.log(message)
axios.post(config.EXPRESS_URL, {
content: message.content,
abut_code: message.abut_code,
media_url: '',
userID: message.userID,
name: message.name
}, {headers})
.then(() => {
console.log('Message sent')
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err)
})
Error message/console output
{
content: 'test',
abut_code: 'bff1377f:d7de22eb',
userID: 'auth0|613a9e709518390070831c29',
name: 'Me 2'
}

No, it means something tried to read
somevalue.replace
butsomevalue
wasnull
. The error was because it ended up trying to readnull.replace
, which, of course, isn't valid. – Ouroborus Commented Sep 26, 2021 at 1:22 - it looks like the error is in the backend side, I believe – Daniel Sifontes Commented Sep 26, 2021 at 2:09
- @Ouroborus okay so what is null? That is the part that makes no sense, I can console.log all values and get an output. – joshk132 Commented Sep 26, 2021 at 2:25
- @DanielSifontes Backside? Do you mean the API endpoint Axios is trying to reach? If so I don't think that is the case as I can use postman to test it and it works plus this Axios request never actually seems to hit the API server and is failing before it hits it – joshk132 Commented Sep 26, 2021 at 2:27

Reset to default 7I had the same error when the provided url was not correct (I forgot the "http://" in the url in my case) check config.EXPRESS_URL
and make sure it's a valid url.
