Hello, Not the same but something similar here: .write() will throw this error when the folder path doesn’t exist. It also happens when i try to write a filename without extension. I’m just making sure that the folder path is created. Have you tried fs.exists() on that path? maybe it’s a permission problem. Greetings

This problem is relevant when you have a buffer that you want to save, and you know mimetype, but don’t have the file name. For example when you receive form data in a http endpoint. I used multer for that, and it provides me with buffer and mimetype, so I could set it manually, but there is no config or method for that.
