Hi @Gan_Jyi_Yng,
Please post the whole .rs file as it is, not the content of it :smiley:. In the mean time, I notice that your HTTP body is multipart/form-data type but your Content-Type header is application/json, while it should be multipart/form-data also. Please check again.
Regards.

I notice that your HTTP body is multipart/form-data type but your Content-Type header is application/json, while it should be multipart/form-data also. Please check again.

i tried one content type application/json → not working
then tried content type multipart/form-data → not working
then i tried both content type, still not working
what should be the right setup? in POSTMAN, i need content type application/json and it works easily.

Can you share the HAR file? You can find it at the top right corner of the request object view.

above the result HAR
noticed a small window prompted java error after i restarted katalon, unable to capture it

maybe Katalon object repo HTTP header has issues.
i actually raised a bug at Katalon Bug section as i noticed the HTTP header is not maintained when changing other section like BODY/ endpoint. sometimes it reset to blank, causing issues if tester not aware the changes, test will failed always, tester have to manually adding back the correct HTTP header.

i have workaround which i bypass object repo, add below codes directly at test cases and call the endpoint. this works perfect.
def requestObject = builder.withRestRequestMethod(‘POST’)
.withRestUrl(‘http://’+GlobalVariable.SiteHostName+":"+GlobalVariable.Port + ‘/api/items/upload’)
.withHttpHeaders([
new TestObjectProperty(‘Content-Type’, ConditionType.EQUALS, ‘multipart/form-data’)])
.withMultipartFormDataBodyContent([
new FormDataBodyParameter(‘uploadedFile’,“Data Files/Data.xlsx” , ‘File’), ])
.build()

i just did below steps and object is working

  1. remove object
  2. add new object
  3. go to http body select form-data then file , http header automatically inserted multi-form content type
  4. test and verify - works
    issue could be the object was copy and duplicate then modify later on, create new object from scratch working good.
