ReadyAPI is not reading a json file

I have a post request in which i attach two files, the first one must be a json file.

Using postman, the api works fine but using soap ui it seems like it's not reading the right format.

How is it possible ?

    Hello abirHajali,

    Your Content-type in both parts are not well sended

    Instead of Content-Type: application/json; name=***.json you should send Content-Type: application/json;

    My advice is to modify your request and correct Content-type, the way to do it is to use Event handlers (Filtering requests)

    Use: RequestFilter.filterRequest to modify request before sending, this script aim to retreive and enter the correct Content-type

    def bodyPartAttach = context.getProperty("httpMethod").requestEntity.message.content.getBodyPart(0) // get a part by number, it starts with 0
    bodyPartAttach.removeHeader("Content-Type")
    bodyPartAttach.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")

     

    Do the same with the second part (index = 1)

    Hey abirHajali,

    I have this a lot where the request works fine in postman, but doesnt in readyapi! or soapui. You gotta remember postman doesnt include all the functionality that soapui and readyapi! include to allow the user to tailor their requests....thats why i think this occurs so much.

    What i do in this situation is i use Fiddler to proxy the requests. Fiddler is a tool that extracts all the RAW content from any tool that uses it as a proxy and allows you to compare the difference between what soapui sends and what postman sends. This then allows you to make the appropriate changes in soapui to get it to work.
