PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

I got the following error with bodyParser:

at next (/root/server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:275:10)
at jsonParser (/root/server/node_modules/body-parser/lib/types/json.js:118:7)

the code is following

const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

function setEntity(req, res) {
   // something....
}

module.exports = (app) => {

  const router = new express.Router();

  app.use(bodyParser.json({limit:'50mb'}));
  app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: true
  }));

  router.use('/set/', (req, res) => {
    setEntity(req, res);
  });

  return router;
};

It seems similar to this question

So I tried these 3 solutions.

1.

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));

2.

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: "50mb"}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: "50mb", extended: true, parameterLimit:50000}));

3.

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit:1024*1024*20, type:'application/json'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true,limit:1024*1024*20,type:'application/x-www-form-urlencoding' }));

but the result didn't change.

another setting is like below

nginx has this setting : client_max_body_size 200M;
data size is under 500kb (json).
express : 4.15.3
body-parser : 1.18.2

I have no idea why I can't change limit data size.

Whilst it would be nice NOT to have to modify the body-parser library code directly, this is also the only way this worked for me. The maintenance of this is nominal for THIS instance, but moving servers etc etc and this becomes bad software very quickly. a picture of a block of JavaScript code

var limit = typeof opts.limit !== 'number'
? bytes.parse(opts.limit || '16Mb')
: opts.limit

Line 56 node_modules/body-parser/lib/types/json.js

My issue was because I had

app.use(express.json())

and also

app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: "50mb" }))

and

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: "50mb", extended: true, parameterLimit: 50000 }))

I solved it after removing app.use(express.json()). Hope it helps somebody with the same issue.

Controlling the maximum request body size will do the trick, however, you do not need body-parser anymore. Instead of using body-parser middleware, use the new Express implementation:

app.use(express.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true, parameterLimit: 50000}));

You can find here the complete documentation.

None of them works for me I couldn't change the limit by writing these

app.use(express.urlencoded({ limit: "50mb", extended: true, parameterLimit: 50000 }))
app.use(express.json({ limit: "50mb", extended: true, parameterLimit: 50000 }))

You can change the limit from node_modules\body-parser\lib\types\json.js

? bytes.parse(opts.limit || '100kb') to  ? bytes.parse(opts.limit || '50mb')
