Failed to upload audio file

[shelomito12]

Sending pictures and other file types work just fine, but uploading a small mp3 file returns the following:

{
    "status": false,
    "response": {}
}

Below is the code I'm using:

const { Client, MessageMedia } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const express = require('express');
const { body, validationResult } = require('express-validator');
const socketIO = require('socket.io');
const qrcode = require('qrcode');
const http = require('http');
const fs = require('fs');
const { phoneNumberFormatter } = require('./helpers/formatter');
const fileUpload = require('express-fileupload');

const port = process.env.PORT || 8022;

const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const io = socketIO(server);

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({
  extended: true
}));
app.use(fileUpload({
  debug: true
}));

const SESSION_FILE_PATH = './whatsapp-session.json';
let sessionCfg;
if (fs.existsSync(SESSION_FILE_PATH)) {
  sessionCfg = require(SESSION_FILE_PATH);
}

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile('index.html', {
    root: __dirname
  });
});

const client = new Client({
  restartOnAuthFail: true,
  puppeteer: {
    headless: true,
    args: [
      '--no-sandbox',
      '--disable-setuid-sandbox',

      '--no-first-run',
      '--no-zygote',
      '--single-process', // <- this one doesn't works in Windows
      '--disable-gpu'
    ],
  },
  session: sessionCfg
});

client.on('message', msg => {
  if (msg.body == '!ping') {
    msg.reply('pong');
  } else if (msg.body == 'Shalom') {
    msg.reply('Shalom');
  } else if (msg.body == '!groups') {
    client.getChats().then(chats => {
      const groups = chats.filter(chat => chat.isGroup);

      if (groups.length == 0) {
        msg.reply('You have no group yet.');
      } else {
        let replyMsg = '*YOUR GROUPS*\n\n';
        groups.forEach((group, i) => {
          replyMsg += `ID: ${group.id._serialized}\nName: ${group.name}\n\n`;
        });
        replyMsg += '_You can use the group id to send a message to the group._'
        msg.reply(replyMsg);
      }
    });
  }

  // Downloading media

    msg.downloadMedia().then(media => {
      // To better understanding
      // Please look at the console what data we get
      console.log(media);

      if (media) {
        // The folder to store: change as you want!
        // Create if not exists
        const mediaPath = './downloaded-media/';

        if (!fs.existsSync(mediaPath)) {
          fs.mkdirSync(mediaPath);
        }

        // Get the file extension by mime-type
        const extension = mime.extension(media.mimetype);
        
        // Filename: change as you want! 
        // I will use the time for this example
        // Why not use media.filename? Because the value is not certain exists
        const filename = new Date().getTime();

        const fullFilename = mediaPath + filename + '.' + extension;

        // Save to file
        try {
