Google Drive | 500 Unknown Error Yet File Still Created

[jordanparker6]

An 'Unknown Error' with code 500 keeps returning when using the Node SDK and google drive to upload a file.

I have tested that my OAuth client is working as I am able to retrieve file metadata from the drive. However, when I go to run the upload script below I get a 500 error, despite the file actually being created in Google Drive...

Environment details

• OS: MacOS 14.5
• Node.js version: v22.4.1
• googleapis version: ^134.0.0

Steps to reproduce
