"Required argument not specified" while posting a json with date

Context: I am using Kotlin with Micronaut and for this project I will not add Spring dependencies.

I created successfully a Hello Word enpoint and I can post to it from Postman. The issue started when I evolulated the data to have birthday (java.time.LocalDate).

Copied from Postman

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:8080/accountholders' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{
    "name": "Jimis",
    "age":42,
    "birthDate":"1978-04-14",
    "category":"'\''Student'\''"
}'

Resulted in

{
    "message": "Required argument [AccountHolder accountHolder] not specified",
    "path": "/accountHolder",
    "_links": {
        "self": {
            "href": "/accountholders",
            "templated": false
        }
    }
}

The whole project git hub (the error in the branch date_issue, not in the master)

You should annotate the method parameter with @Body:

import io.micronaut.http.annotation.*

// ...


@Post
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
fun addAccountHolder(@Body accountHolder: AccountHolder): AccountHolder {
    return accountHolderService.addAccountHolder(accountHolder)
}
