multipart params issue

[sumanadak]

Hi all,
I am facing some issue with multi-part form data. In my code, When I make Action function though REST Client, I am getting correctly formData parameters but When I call from one java client, same parameters gets converted to some temp files and showing error.

could you someone please tell me what could be the possible reason to convert params to file ?

Thanks in advance

If things work correctly in the REST client, it seems to imply that the Java client is malforming the params, no? Can in you spect the request that the Java client is making, maybe via logging or a proxy?

Dear evan,
Thanks. Sorry for late reply. JAVA client was working fine with ActionHero older version( Before Typescript rewrite). We upgraded the actionHero to latest version.

We checked the headers, it is correctly sending multipart formdata headers and others required info.

We saw this problem. We tried to upload a file and runtimeArgument to run the task.
Here I am giving the error we receive and Action block code

Action code block.

export class startJob extends Action {
constructor() {
super();
this.name = 'startJob',
this.description = 'Starts the execution of a particular Task specfic to id',
this.inputs = {
inp: {
required: false,
},
runTimeArgs: {
required: false
}
}
this.tags = ['tasks']
}
tags: ['tasks']

async run(data: ActionProcessor<any>) {
   var apiKey = data.connection.rawConnection.req.headers['x-api-key'];
    var jobId = data.params.id.toUpperCase();
    var projectId = data.params.projectId.toUpperCase();
    var inpFile = data.params.inp;
    var runTimeArgs = data.params.runTimeArgs;
    var statusObj = await taskController.startTask(projectId, jobId, apiKey, inpFile, runTimeArgs)

}

Error We got

action=startJob params={"action":"startJob","apiVersion":1,
"runTimeArgs":{"size":13,"filepath":"/tmp/6247edeff20041ff70d024b00","newFilename":"6247edeff20041ff70d024b00","mimetype":"text/plain;",

}

We worked around by catching error and reading temporary file to get the argument value. But sure we need to fix this.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
