--------------------------------------------------------
The latest commit version of 2.x seems to not he affected.
This issue seems to only exist on the 1.x branch.
It affects other endpoint that use multipart/form-data as well, e.g.
{code:java}
/process-groups/{id}/templates/upload Uploads a template{code}
Here only one of the two form-data parameters is displayed correctly, the other
one is displayed without name and said to be expected in the body, instead of
as part of the form-data; similar to the endpoint mentioned in the issue itself.
This issue can be seen in the generated {{swagger.json}} under
{{nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-framework-bundle/nifi-framework/nifi-web/nifi-web-api/target/swagger-ui}}
already, thus is not an issue of the rendered documentation itself.
{code:java}
"/process-groups/{id}/templates/upload" : {
"post" : {
"tags" : [ "process-groups" ],
"summary" : "Uploads a template",
"description" : "",
"operationId" : "uploadTemplate",
"consumes" : [ "multipart/form-data" ],
"produces" : [ "application/xml" ],
"parameters" : [ {
"name" : "id",
"in" : "path",
"description" : "The process group id.",
"required" : true,
"type" : "string"
}, {
"in" : "body",
"name" : "body",
"description" : "Acknowledges that this node is disconnected to allow
for mutable requests to proceed.",
"required" : false,
"schema" : {
"type" : "boolean"
}
}, {
"name" : "template",
"in" : "formData",
"description" : "The binary content of the template file being
uploaded.",
"required" : true,
"type" : "file"
} ],
"responses" : ... {code}
The declaration side of the endpoints in
{{nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-framework-bundle/nifi-framework/nifi-web/nifi-web-api/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/web/api/ProcessGroupResource.java}}
looks fine and has not changed for a long time.
-I suspect there is either an issue in the Swagger itself, introduced into NiFi
by using a newer version, a new Swagger version requiring a different type of
declaration or a change in the generation procedure of NiFi itself.-
The documentation is broken in the most recent release version for 1.x which is
1.25.0.
However, it was broken already for:
-
[1.24.0|https://web.archive.org/web/20231208064943/https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html]
-
[1.23.2|https://web.archive.org/web/20231106213006/https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html]
- ...
-
[1.19.1|https://web.archive.org/web/20230315024356/https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html]
- ...
-
[1.14.0|https://web.archive.org/web/20211021223339/https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html]
-
[1.13.2|https://web.archive.org/web/20201004172411/http://nifi.apache.org/docs.html]
-
[1.10.0|https://web.archive.org/web/20190906190320/http://nifi.apache.org:80/docs.html]
*Looking at the documentation of all these older version of NiFi in Wayback
Machine, it looks like this never worked in the first place.*
It looks like the issue might stem from the Maven plugin used for the spec
generation, see [issue
#352|https://github.com/kongchen/swagger-maven-plugin/issues/352] in the
project. As outlined in the issue, there is a workaround that involves
declaring the param a second time as {{@ApiImplicitParam}} which seems to work,
as the only form parameter visible in the documentation for
{{/process-groups/{id}/templates/upload}} has this declared.
