Unable to reference the properties defined in form-data in overwriteRequestBody

[Arrow2dknee]

Hello there.

I have a POST endpoint called /vehicles which has been implemented as multipart/form-data and accepts 3 properties, namely-

• files (json file uploaded by client)
• vehicleType (alphanumeric string)
• release (alphanumeric string)

In postman, this request would look like below screenshot-

and, the OpenAPI spec is as follows-
{ "/v1/vehicles": { "post": { "operationId": "VehicleController_addVehicle", "parameters": [], "requestBody": { "required": true, "description": "Vehicle data", "content": { "multipart/form-data": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/AddVehicleDto" } } } }, "responses": { "200": { "description": "Vehicles added successfully" }, "401": { "description": "Authorization is required", "content": { "application/json": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/UnauthorizedExceptionDto" } } } }, "404": { "description": "Vehicle type does not exists", "content": { "application/json": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/NotFoundExceptionDto" } } } }, "500": { "description": "Internal Server Error", "content": { "application/json": { "schema": { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/UnknownExceptionDto" } } } } }, "tags": [ "Vehicles" ], "security": [ { "bearer": [] } ] } } }
Alternatively, please find the above spec in jsonblob

My overwrites.yml code looks like below:
- openApiOperation: "POST::/v1/vehicles" overwriteRequestBody: - key: 'files' value: 'files:tests/portman/create-vehicle.json' - key: 'vehicleType' value: '6703abea1c0324d0e17d5afb' - key: 'release' value: '6703abf51c0324d0e17d5b28' overwriteRequestHeaders: - key: Content-Type remove: true

In the overwrites.yml file, I'm referencing the form-data props as key: 'files', key: 'vehicleType' etc
But, I don't think this works as expected.

When running the tests locally, got the following error from API-

Could you please guide me what I'm doing incorrectly.

hi @Arrow2dknee

The jsonblob mentions $ref elements, but the actual $ref values are missing.
Would it be possible to share the endpoint and related components/schemas, that way we can try to reproduce your setup and investigate your issue.

Hi @thim81,

The API looks like below:

AddVehicleDto (from $ref) looks like below

The form-data needs the below required information-
'files' - a json file
'vehicleType' - string representation of a mongo id
'release' - string representation of a mongo id

I have written my overwrites for this endpoint as below:

Let me know if this helps.

hi @Arrow2dknee

Would it be possible to share the OpenAPI endpoint as YAML or JSON, only that endpoint?

hi @Arrow2dknee

We still want to help figure out what is going wrong, would you be able the OpenAPI endpoint as YAML or JSON, only that endpoint?
