form-data overwriteRequestBody used with file upload doesn't inject "src" into collection.

[bpogy]

for File Upload, i have the following overwrite:
"overwriteRequestBody": [ { "key": "reqFile", "value": "/mytestfile.txt", "insert": true } ]

Postman expects this request to look like this:

"body": { "mode": "formdata", "formdata": [ { "key": "reqFile", "type": "file", "src": "/mytestfile.txt" } ] },

instead, generated collection has the following:
"body": { "mode": "formdata", "formdata": [ { "key": "reqFile", "type": "file" }, ] }

This presents a problem since Postman doesn't recognize the second object as valid and there is no source for file upload.

Attempts with the following config also fail to insert "src" into a collection:
"overwriteRequestBody": [ { "key": "reqFile", "value": "/mytestfile.txt", "insert": true, "overwrite": true } ]

Hi @thim81 can you look it case, because I'm want using multipart data format for request in the my openapi doc, how we can do it ?

[thim81]

hi @vampyar

Can you share this POST vehicles openapi request?
And how this should look like in Postman, and share the exported Postman collection (if possible)?

So we can see the generated current result and expected result, to figure out how we could implement this.

Hey,
I'm currently experiencing the same issue.

Below are my portman-config.json file and the resulting Postman collection:

hi @xSuiteJPBruening & @vampyar & @bpogy

We have just released Portman v1.32.0, where we introduce the overwrite of binary files.

OpenAPI Example:

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: 501 - File Upload API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: |-
    A basic API spec to demonstrate file uploads.
servers:
  - url: http://localhost:3000
    description: Local test server
paths:
  /upload:
    post:
      summary: Upload a file
      requestBody:
        required: true
        content:
          multipart/form-data:
            schema:
              type: object
              properties:
                reqFile:
                  type: string
                  format: binary
              required:
                - reqFile
      responses:
        '200':
          description: File uploaded successfully

Portman Config:
{
"version": 1,
"overwrites": [
{
"openApiOperation": "POST::/upload",
"overwriteRequestBody": [
{
"key": "reqFile",
"value": "./hello.txt",
"overwrite": true
}
]
}
]
}

Postman Result :

BEFORE overwrite

AFTER overwrite:
