Support multipart uploading for PUT requests. (spring-mock-mvc)

[Bill Grant]

It's my understanding that multi-part PUT requests are supported as of 1.6, but it seems they aren't for the RestAssuredMockMvc module.

Currently multi-part file data uploading only works for POST

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Currently multi-part file data uploading only works for POST

Is support for this feature coming in the future?

[Johan Haleby]

Unfortunately I can't remember why this is not supported. Do you know if it's support by vanilla MockMvc? If so I cannot see a reason for why we shouldn't get it working in RestAssuredMockMvc. Please add it as an issue as well.

Regards,

/Johan

Hi Bill/Johan,

Was an issue ever created for this?
I think it's now possible with vanilla MockMvc, according to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37305114/how-to-make-unit-test-multipart-with-a-put-request-using-spring-mvc-and-spock

It is possible to use the MockMvc work-around (described in the stackoverflow link above) directly using RestAssured. The idea is the same...use a requestPostProcessor to convert the POST into a PUT. 

Example:

RequestPostProcessor requestPostProcessor = request -> {
    request.setMethod("PUT");
    return request;
};

given().postProcessors(requestPostProcessor)
    .contentType(MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_VALUE)
    .multiPart("file", myFile)
    .when().post(myUrl)
    .then().statusCode(SC_OK);
