[Error: ENOENT: : open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory), open 'undefined']

[ravis-farooq]

I am trying to convert pdf file to Base64 but it is showing me [Error: ENOENT: : open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory), open 'undefined']. I have attached my piece of code where i use react native document picker.

const handleAddDocument = async () => {
  try {
    setFileLoading(true);
    const file = await DocumentPicker.pick({readContent: true});
    file.doc_type = selectedItem[0]; //this is in current state
    const base64 = await RNFS.readFile(decodeURI(file?.uri), 'base64'); //PROBLEM ARISE HERE
     file.base64 = base64;
    const url = await uploadAsset([{name: file.name, file: base64}]);
    file.file = url[0];
    setDocuments((o) => [...o, file]);
  } catch (err) {
    if (DocumentPicker.isCancel(err)) {
    }
    console.log(err);
  } finally {
    setFileLoading(false);
    fileUploadSheet.current?.close();
  }
};

Any help will be appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.

i have same issue, do u find any solution? I think it gives such an error because it contains special characters.

e.g: Türkçe karaklerler içeriyor.pdf
