There is a new reply, it seems to be an error reported by joplin

```ts
    const path = resolve(__dirname, '../resource/resourcesByFileId.png')
    function getFormData() {
      const fd = new FormData()
      const title = 'image title'
      fd.append('props', JSON.stringify({ title: title }))
      fd.append('data', readFileSync(path))
      return fd
    }
    it('test create by axios', async () => {
      const fd = getFormData()
      const resp = await axios.post(
        ApiUtil.baseUrl('/resources'),
        fd.getBuffer(),
        {
          headers: fd.getHeaders(),
        },
      )
      console.log('resp.data: ', resp.data)
    })

```
