add file does not work in browser (TypeError: target._set is not a function) #344
Closed
Description
Same code as examples/browser-add but adding a file instead of text. It works with text but when adding a file I get index.js:1281 Uncaught TypeError: target._set is not a function
Maybe I am incorrectly forming the buffer? But even the files add code from ipfs-webui throws the same error.
