Katalon - Upload a file using POST API


I’ve searched for this issue and seems to be discussed a couple of times but with no real resolution.

I’m trying to upload an XML file using a POST request and form-data, but I get the following error response:

{
  "error":"The results file is required."
}

The error shows using ObjectRepository and also by code using with withMultipartFormDataBodyContent()

If I use curl it works fine. Also works fine with Postman.

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks.


Solution

  • After a looooooooooooong time of searching and trying different things I already found the solution (that works for me). It uses Okhttp library so you will need to import it. If anyone else need it, there it is:

    public void importJUnitTestExecRequest() {
        
        OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
        String reportFile = GlobalVariable.reportFolder + "\\JUnit_Report.xml";
        File file = new File(reportFile);
    
        String url = GlobalVariable.importTestExecJUnitEndpoint+"?testExecKey="+GlobalVariable.testExecKey;
    
        //Form request body that will be a multipart
        RequestBody requestBody = new MultipartBody.Builder().setType(MultipartBody.FORM)
                .addFormDataPart("file", file.getName(), RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/xml"), file))
                .build();
    
        //Form the actual request adding necessary headers
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .post(requestBody)
                .addHeader("Content-Type", GlobalVariable.contentTypeMultipart)
                .build();
    
        Response response = null;
    
        try {
            response = client.newCall(request).execute();
            println("************ IMPORT TEST EXECUTION RESULTS RAW RESPONSE ************");
            println("Response status: " + response);
            println("********************************************************************");
            if (response.isSuccessful()){
                String responseBody = response.body().string();
                println("************ IMPORT TEST EXECUTION RESULTS RESPONSE BODY ************");
                println(responseBody);
                println("*********************************************************************");
            } else {
                throw new IOException("Unexpected HTTP code " + response);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    
    }
    

    I've opened a ticket to support because with the built in functionality in Katalon, it is currently (or I don't know how to do it) not possible.
