NodeClamError: There was an issue scanning the path specified!

[arthi810]

When I run clamscan in the command line, it is able to scan the files in the location. But when I run the below code and pass a file to scan, its failing

const NodeClam = require('clamscan');
const ClamScan = new NodeClam().init({
    clamscan: {
        path: '/usr/local/bin/clamscan'
    },
    clamdscan: {
        path: "/usr/local/bin/clamdscan"
    }
}); 
ClamScan.then(async clamscan => {
        try {
            const pathForFile = __dirname + '/file2.pdf';
            const { path, isInfected, goodFiles, badFiles, viruses } = await clamscan.scanDir(pathForFile);
        } catch (err) {
            console.log({ err })
        }
    }).catch(err => {
        console.log({ err })
    });

Below is the complete error I received

You're running scanDir but passing a single file. Use isInfected, instead, if you want to scan a single file. Or pass the directory you want to scan (ex. /Users/mac/Assetplus/insurance-health/src/middlewares)
