Asset upload does not allow specifying attributes

[GriffinCodes]

Executing the following cURL uploads an image to my stack's assets inside the specified folder

curl --location 'https://api.contentstack.io/v3/assets' \
--header 'api_key: API_KEY' \
--header 'authorization: MANAGEMENT_TOKEN' \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form 'asset[upload]=@"/path/to/image.jpg"' \
--form 'asset[parent_uid]="PARENT_FOLDER_UID"' \
--form 'asset[title]="Test2_3"'

While the javadocs note the form field's existence, it does not appear to allow me to fill in the form field, causing the image to be uploaded to the root folder. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

Hi @GriffinCodes , Thank you for raising this issue; we truly appreciate your valuable feedback. Rest assured, we will thoroughly investigate the matter to understand and address it appropriately. meanwhile i would suggest you to try using
asset.addHeader("", ""); like below.

asset.addHeader("cache-control", "no-cache") ;
asset.addHeader("content-type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW");
asset.addHeader("asset[upload]", "@{Filepath e.g., /C:/Users/abc/Desktop/Sample.png}");
asset.addHeader("asset[parent_uid]", "blt87347767634");
asset.addHeader("asset[title]", "If needed, enter a title for your uploaded asset");
asset.addHeader("asset[description]", "If needed, enter a description for your uploaded asset");
asset.addHeader("asset[tags]", "If needed, assign a specific tag to your uploaded asset");

Example:

Asset asset = client.stack("API_KEY", "ManagementToken").asset();
Response<ResponseBody> response = asset.uploadAsset("filepath", "description").addHeader("", "").execute();

hope this will help you !

Adding the asset[] headers causes the API to respond with 400 Bad Request. According to the API spec, they should be form fields, not headers

Thanks for checking @GriffinCodes. We are working on resolving the issue, and we will provide an update here once it is fixed.

Hi @GriffinCodes, We have uploaded a new build of the Management SDK. Please let us know if it resolves the issue.

Update your pom file dependency to 1.0.0

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.contentstack.sdk/cms -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.contentstack.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>cms</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Use below code snippet for assetUpload():

String description = "What is Lorem Ipsum?"; // your title
String filePath = "/Users/shaileshmishra/Desktop/resources/asset.png"; // the image/file path you want to upload
Contentstack client = new Contentstack.Builder().build(); // create client instance 

Stack stack = client.stack("apiKey", "managementToken"); // get stack instance using client
Response<ResponseBody> upload = stack.asset() // get asset using stack instance
.addParam("key", "value")   // add params if needed (Optional)
.addHeader("header", "value") // add headers if needed (Optional)
.uploadAsset(filePath, description).execute();  // execute uploadAsset
String[] tags = {"contentstack", "cms", "management", "world"};  // prepare tags if you want to pass else pass null 

Response<ResponseBody> assetUpload = stack.asset().
      uploadAsset(filePath, "asset_parent_id", "Fake Image", "Something as description", tags).execute();

if(assetUpload.isSuccessful){
     System.out.println("response: "+uploadMultiple.body()); // print the response
}

Feel free to reopen the ticket if the issue still persists.

thank you !
