the busboy package had a major version update earlier this year. I was having issues with +v1. I reverted to v0.4 and it's now working
don't use new keyword while creating busboy instance
wrong:
const bb=new busboy({headers:req.headers})
right:
const bb=busboy({headers:req.headers})
According to current version
I updated to "connect-busboy": "0.0.3" and it's worked for me.

must be faith that this was posted so recently! thanks this helped me a ton :) i am working on a firebase project right now using busboy with a similar code. when my files upload, instead of the .png format, i get a .Object object extension instead. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
