Octet-Stream File Upload in Nintex Xtensions

[DataOneDave]

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": [

          {

            "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

@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.
