Seeing the same on Version 7.15.0 w/ OS X 18.7.0 / x64

[swuppio]

any suggestions?

[pavelsaman]

I see the same issue in version 7.16.0, app for Windows OS x64

[garrucho]

It's really sad that the code generator, since their big update, changed to use --data-raw, and so we couldn't import these cURL anymore in a while.

[tiaraju]

Same problem happening to me.
Any news about it?

Same problem reported in #7983

@wrssmi Thanks for reporting this issue. We are soon going to release a fix for this. Will keep you updated here.

[anirudhavpavashe]

Remove -raw which is after --data [--data -raw ]
just keep it as --data in the cURL

[anirudhavpavashe]

any suggestions?

Remove -raw which is after --data [--data -raw ]
just keep it as --data in the cURL

@shreys7 On which version is this issue fixed? I am still facing this issue in version v7.21.0.

Postman for Linux
Version 7.21.0
linux 4.15.0-88-generic / x64

[shreys7]

Hello everyone, we have added the fix for this issue and it will be released with the next Postman App version - 7.22, planned on 8th April.
Thank you for your patience.

[RajatBanerjee]

Is this fixed ? i did a code generate and it still does --data-raw

[mccannt]

@RajatBanerjee Did you get the 7.22 version of the app yet? It is currently being rolled out to users.

If you haven't, please wait until you get the update and then try again. If you have received it and it's still not working, please let us know.

[shreys7]

Hey @RajatBanerjee , the issue wasn't the code generator generating a --data-raw in the snippet. It was about not able to import the cURL request body when using --data-raw argument. This has been fixed with the latest release. Do let us know if you have any other queries :)

[RajatBanerjee]

Got it @shreys7 . So the issue i am talking about is that considered a bug?

[shreys7]

@RajatBanerjee The unsuccessful import of body in cURL request with --data-raw flag was the only bug, which has been fixed with the latest release of App, 7.22

[vbothra]

I tried with v7.22. And the issue is not fixed yet. I am unable to import. Please see the attached video below:

[JaswantBB]

instead of --data-row use --data-binary will work

[kasumiru]

the bug is stiil here in chrome Version 88.0.4324.190 (Official Build) (64-bit)

[umeshp7]

Hey @kasumiru!
Are you using the Chrome App? We have actually deprecated the Chrome app version of Postman.
Although we have recently launched Postman on the Web - Here you can experience the latest Postman app with all the recent features directly on any web browser.

You can download the latest version of the native Postman apps or try out the Web version here: https://www.postman.com/downloads

Do try this out in one of the latest apps and let us know if you are still facing this.

[rxluz]

Hey folks, I updated my Postman to the last version and it seems that this problem remains, I tried to change the params like suggested in the post but also didn't work

I'm using Version 8.0.7 (8.0.7) (Mac)

[temamagic]

Same problem on newest version

[gregtuc]

Issue is still occurring for me, Postman for Windows version 8.3.0.

[arlemi]

@temamagic @gregtuc Can you provide more information on what you're seeing? I've just given it a try on the latest version on Windows and the import works fine.

[temamagic]

@arlemi Hi, sure!

In my case, I'll take request from Chrome and expect to see Form Data values

Chrome copy as curl return like this:

curl 'http://example' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7oJTsSWYoA2LdaPx' \
  --data-raw $'------WebKitFormBoundary7oJTsSWYoA2LdaPx\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="source"\r\n\r\ns\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7oJTsSWYoA2LdaPx\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="destination"\r\n\r\nt\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7oJTsSWYoA2LdaPx--\r\n' \
  --compressed \
  --insecure

I think that problem is in content-Type: multipart/form-data, cuz my request is a simple post with form data values and expect to see form data parsed, not raw json body

[temamagic]

Just checked, curl request copied from Charles proxy doesn't parsed properly too

Maybe I was wrong with issue? Anyway, Postman should learn how to parse multipart form data values from curl :)

[tsundara]

For the generated curl command, how to get rid of the string --data-raw and just set it to --data?
Is there some built in setting to deal with this?

It is annoying as everytime I have to copy paste command to another editor and change text from data-raw to data

[Spaum145]

Still have problems, version 9.0.2.
Trying to import curl for post request with multipart/form-data request

curl -X POST '...' 
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryDvazaXbGrGcqqTAA' \
...
--data-raw $'------WebKitFormBoundaryDvazaXbGrGcqqTAA\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="contacts[][email]"\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundaryDvazaXbGrGcqqTAA\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data;
name="contacts[][phone]"\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundaryDvazaXbGrGcqqTAA\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; 
...
name="country"\r\n\r\n0\r\n------WebKitFormBoundaryDvazaXbGrGcqqTAA--\r\n'

and got no body parsed

[VShingala]

@tsundara Issue related to code snippet generation having --data-raw has been fixed now with latest postman app. Behavior now is --data should be present instead of --data-raw for almost all cases.

@Spaum145 We've identified the issue with formdata request you shared and will be working on a fix. I'll update here once fix is out.

[VShingala]

@Spaum145 @temamagic

We've fixed the issues with cURL not able to import Multipart / formdata bodies correctly with the latest Postman App v10.13. Do let us know if you're facing further issues with it.
