Error testing file upload

This is probably something stupid on my side... But maybe someone can help 🙂
I'm testing image upload with convex-test. For simplicity i just create a 100 Byte Blob like this:
const image = new Blob([new ArrayBuffer(100)]);
// Store the image in Convex
const storageId = await t.run(async (ctx) => {
   return ctx.storage.store(image);
});
const image = new Blob([new ArrayBuffer(100)]);
// Store the image in Convex
const storageId = await t.run(async (ctx) => {
   return ctx.storage.store(image);
});

However this throws the following error inside
store
store
function:
TypeError: blob.arrayBuffer is not a function
    at blobSha (/home/michael/dev/prototest/node_modules/convex-test/dist/index.js:833:36)
TypeError: blob.arrayBuffer is not a function
    at blobSha (/home/michael/dev/prototest/node_modules/convex-test/dist/index.js:833:36)


When I use the blob from a real image it works as expected:
const imageUrl = "https://fakeimg.pl/800x600/";
const response = await fetch(imageUrl);
const image = await response.blob();
// Store the image in Convex
const storageId = await t.run(async (ctx) => {
   return ctx.storage.store(image);
});
const imageUrl = "https://fakeimg.pl/800x600/";
const response = await fetch(imageUrl);
const image = await response.blob();
// Store the image in Convex
const storageId = await t.run(async (ctx) => {
   return ctx.storage.store(image);
});


Any idea what I'm doing wrong when creating the Blob data?

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
