Editor cannot send request with file

[hantuzun]

Hi,

We have an endpoint with the following parameters:

      parameters:
        - name: upload
          in: formData
          required: true
          type: file

I wanted to try the endpoint using the editor. I choose a file on the editor, set the header and then hit the "send request".

However, the editor doesn't send the file content. The following is the body is being send by the editor:

(upload: actions.csv)

Whereas a proper request should have such a body:

(--------------------------a1c5ec12084324b4 
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="actions.csv" 
Content-Type: application/octet-stream 
 "230", "969",  4 "90",  "1101", 4 "276", "234",  5 "325", "168",  3 "15",  "754",  5 "324", "298",  5 "73",  "48",   2 "232", "315",  5 "328", "98",   4 "128", "588",  5 
 --------------------------a1c5ec12084324b4--)

Could you confirm that this issue about the swagger-editor?

For now, file only in body is supported.

[webron]

@mohsen1 - as the spec defines it, file is only supported with formData, not body. This is a bug.

[hantuzun]

Yes @webron, I was about to point this out.

[mohsen1]

@webron is this the only way to have file parameters in Swagger?

[webron]

Of type file? Yes.

Moving it to next milestone.

this bug is still not fixed because the code calls $.ajax with Content-Type as 'application/json'.

scripts/controllers/tryoperation.js

makeCall function

$.ajax({
      url: $scope.generateUrl(),
      type: $scope.operationName,
      headers: _.omit($scope.getHeaders(), omitHeaders),
      data: $scope.getRequestBody(),
      contentType: $scope.contentType,
      processData: false
    })

the contentType property should be set as false.
