I want to integreate a service to my Workflow Cloud with a file upload. 

 

I have defined the parameters according to the documentation.

 

Like this:

 

 "parameters": r
          
          {
            "name": "modelId",
            "in": "path",
            "description": "Format - uuid. Model identifier.",
            "required": true,
            "type": "string"
          },
          {
            "name": "includeTextDetails",
            "in": "query",
            "description": "Include text lines and element references in the result.  Default: false.",
            "type": "boolean"
          },
          {
            "name": "source",
            "in": "body",
            "required": true,
            "schema": {
            "type": "string",
            "format": "binary"
            }
          }
        ],
 
But my action expects a string, not a file upload. (See attached image)
Is that a bug?
Or what must the input look like?
Or is there something wrong in my definition?
 
The other file upload types do not seem to be supported by the service, so i want to try this one.
 
Thanks in advance and best regards
Dave

@DataOneDave I think this issue might be the OpenAPI version that you're working with. NWC currently supports OpenAPI 2 (though work is being done to support OpenAPI 3), so it looks like you would want to use a slightly different format: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/2-0/file-upload/



 



Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick reply



you mean octet-stream is not supported by Swagger 2.0 ?

I followed this documentation, so it should work, right?



https://help.nintex.com/en-US/xtensions/04_Reference/REF_OpenAPISwipeFile.htm#File_handling



I have already tried it with multipart/form-data. Unfortunately the service does not accept this type.

@DataOneDave interesting. I'll need to circle with one of my devs to check that out, as I was under the impression that we didn't support octet-stream due to the Swagger version, but the fact that it's in the help files is making me question my sanity a little :?



 



Will let you know as soon as I have a confirmation one way or the other. 

haha ok. 🙂 Thank you very much @butlerj
would be great if we could solve this. 🙂

@butlerj is there a solution in the meantime?  😇
Or is the information in the documentation wrong?

Hi @DataOneDave sorry I completely lost track of this post. I'm not sure if there is a workaround, but let me circle with the team again and see what I can find. I've made myself an action item so I don't lose it this time :?

@DataOneDave just to confirm you're entire structure looks like this correct:



 



{

"upload": {

"summary": "Analyze Form",

"description": "Upload form",

"operationId": "UploadForm",

"consumes": [ "application/octet-stream" ],

"parameters": [

{

"name": "modelId",

"in": "path",

"description": "Format - uuid. Model identifier.",

"required": true,

"type": "string"

},

{

"name": "includeTextDetails",

"in": "query",

"description": "Include text lines and element references in the result. Default: false.",

"type": "boolean"

},

{

"name": "source",

"in": "body",

"required": true,

"schema":

{

"type": "string",

"format": "binary"

}

}

]

}
