Use APIs to Generate Test Data (Docker)

[Amanpreet Kaur Aulakh]

Hi

• Running docker containers (using official oracle database), and trying to generate Test Data by sending API's on my localhost.
• Able to successfully send request via POSTMAN to
  • generate security token
  • create connection profile
  • create project and version
  • create data generator

But when tried to "Register a File Object", got "Unsupported media type" error. 

Thanks

First, this has nothing to do with the use of a docker container

 "Unsupported media type" error message is generated because type=application/json  is missing.

Here is an example using curl for uploading a csv file

curl -X POST 

--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' 

--header 'Accept: application/json' 

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <some token>' 

-F body={\"objectType\":\"CSV\",\"headerAt\":1,\"dataStartsAt\":2,\"tableNames\":[]};type=application/json 

-F files=Sample.csv

'http://localhost:8080/TDMModelService/api/ca/v1/objects?projectId=xxxx&versionId=yyyy'  

I have added header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' as postman might not add it automatically (Curl does).

• I performed the same steps earlier, as recommended.
• Have attached screenshots for reference

See screenshot. you are missing the content type in the body

Hi,

     Can you change the Key name from files to file, and as Dahman mentioned change the content type for the body key to be  application/json

Hi

• Tested with and without content-type, it was giving error
• When changed the name "files" > "file", now running successfully (used "files" as mentioned in swagger).

Thanks, it helped.
