fs 错误：EISDIR：对目录的非法操作，读取

Question

I'm getting "Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read" after trying to read the content of a.json. This is how I'm trying to access the file. I'm using the FileSystem of node js.

fs.readFile( path, ( err, fileData) => {

                if (err) {

                    throw err;
                }
                else {

                    return fileData;
                }
            });

While debugging I can see that the error is thrown before the if statement.

Any idea?

Maybe the path to the file is not the right one, make sure the path of your file looks like the one that appears in the following code:

const fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile('PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE/File_Name.json', (err, fileData) => {
    if (err) {
        throw err;
    } else {
        console.log(JSON.parse(fileData));
    }
});
