so i was updating my code, and i encountered an error which is this one below:
webidl.is.File = webidl.util.MakeTypeAssertion(File)

^

ReferenceError: File is not defined

I'm not a tech expert or a dev, I mostly use ai for help. and so I brought it back to my old working code and restarted it but it still gives me the same error. Please help, thank you!

hey! the issue is likely you're trying to use browser APIs (like File) in a server-side context, which doesn't work because Node.js doesn't have those

browser-specific objects.

you need to either:

- move File API usage to client-side only

- use Node.js equivalents (like Buffer or fs)

- add proper environment checks

basically you're mixing browser code with server code and that breaks things

let me know if this fixes it, and if not we'll look for another solution. share me a link to your codebase in that case - might be hard to fix without further context.
