I saw this q & a, but did not have the same results as the OP. How to publish files to swagger?
Using this specification in my swagger-node-express API
exports.saveFile = { 'spec' : { "description" : "Saves a file to filesystem", "path" : "/uploads/file", "notes" : "", "summary" : "POST a file to storage", "method" : "POST", /* "supportedContentTypes" : [ 'multipart/form-data' ], */ "produces":[ "application/json" ], "consumes":[ "multipart/form-data" ], "params" : [{ "name": "File", "description": "The file to upload.", "paramType": "body", "required": true, "allowMultiple": false, "dataType": "file" } ], "responseClass" : "ArbitraryJson", "errorResponses" : [ errors.invalid('file') ], "nickname" : "saveFile" }, 'action' : function(req, res) { res.send('{"msg":"success", "file path": "' + req.files.file.path + '"}'); } };
When I POST through curl, curl -v -F file=@scrot.png http://127.0.0.1:3000/uploads/file everything works as expected. When I send a message through swagger-ui (v 2.0.2), it fails. I used a proxy server in both situations, and swagger-ui does not indicate the type of content and does not transmit data.
Shortened raw message through curl (using the command above)
POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/uploads/file HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: curl/7.27.0 Host: 127.0.0.1:3000 Accept: */* Content-Length: 43947 Expect: 100-continue Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----------------------------9af70f8a272c ------------------------------9af70f8a272c Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="scrot.png" Content-Type: application/octet-stream ... ------------------------------9af70f8a272c--
Shortened raw message via swagger-ui
POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/uploads/file HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:3000 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 Accept: application/json Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Referer: http://127.0.0.1:3000/docs/ Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Connection: keep-alive Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache
How can I configure my route / specification so that swagger-ui correctly posts the message?
