Adding media to post doesn't work

[smartm0use]

Hello, I'm trying to create a post with an image. Here is my code:

const downloadFile = (async (url, path) => {
    const res = await fetch(url);
    const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(path);
    await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        res.body.pipe(fileStream);
        res.body.on("error", (err) => {
            reject(err);
        });
        fileStream.on("finish", function() {
            resolve();
        });
    });
});

await downloadFile(itemUrl, './tempImage.jpg');

const responseUploadImage = await wp.media()
    .file('./tempImage.jpg')
    .create({
        title: 'My awesome image',
        alt_text: 'an image of something awesome',
        caption: 'This is the caption text',
        description: 'More explanatory information'
    });

const responsePostCreation = await wp.posts().create({
    title: 'Your Post Title',
    content: 'Your post content',
    // status: 'publish'
});

const response = await wp.media().id(responseUploadImage.id).update({
    post: responsePostCreation.id
});

console.log(response);

I get a new post and a new image in the media section on my Wordpress, but the post doesn't contains the image.

Here is the response of the last call:

All seems to go fine. So, what's wrong with it? Are you sure the last call is adding media to the given post?

[smartm0use]

According to this article I have tried another way:

let responsePostCreation = await wp.posts().create({
    title: 'This post has media, tags & categories!',
    content: 'Excellent and compelling demonstration'
});

let responseMedia = await wp.media().file('./tempImage.jpg').create({
    title: 'Amazing featured image',
    // This property associates our new media record with our new post:
    post: responsePostCreation.id
});

But even in this case, it creates a new post, it adds a new image in the media gallery but I have no image in the post. Why?

The same thing happens to me, did you manage to solve it?

Same problem here. Is somebody working on it? Or have somebody a solution/workaround?

[smartm0use]

Here is my working code:

// Preparing to download image from internet
let downloadFile = (async (url, path) => {
    let res = await fetch(url);
    let fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(path);
    await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        res.body.pipe(fileStream);
        res.body.on("error", (err) => {
            reject(err);
        });
        fileStream.on('finish', function() {
            resolve();
        });
    });
});

// Downloading image to local path
await downloadFile(myImageLink, './myImage.jpg');

// Uploading image and creating the item in the Wordpress media gallery
let responseMediaCreation = await wp.media().file("./myImage.jpg").create({
    title: 'My image'
});

// Creating post on your Wordpress website
await wp.posts().create({
    title: myTitle,
    featured_media: responseMediaCreation.id,
    content: `<h2>${myTitle}</h2><img src="${responseMediaCreation.source_url}" /><div>${myText}</div>`,
    status: 'publish'
});

Hope this helps.

Great ! But then how do you delete the file that you downloaded on the server ?
