Línea de trabajo

Lee modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/kotlin-client/libraries/multiplatform/infrastructure/ApiClient.kt.mustache y el correspondiente libraries/jvm-ktor/infrastructure/ApiClient.kt.mustache; inspecciona cómo la función request gestiona EmptyContent y los métodos que establecen el tipo de contenido y el cuerpo. Revisa las pruebas existentes de las plantillas para estas bibliotecas y verifica que un DELETE generado sin requestBody omita el tipo de contenido y el cuerpo, mientras que uno con un cuerpo JSON siga enviándolos.

Description

For operations without a requestBody, the kotlin client with library=multiplatform generates localVariableBody = io.ktor.client.utils.EmptyContent. ApiClient.request then sets a JSON content type and the body for every PUT, POST, PATCH, and DELETE, regardless of whether there is a body:

if (requestConfig.method in listOf(RequestMethod.PUT, RequestMethod.POST, RequestMethod.PATCH, RequestMethod.DELETE)) {
    val contentType = (requestConfig.headers[HttpHeaders.ContentType]?.let { ContentType.parse(it) }
        ?: ContentType.Application.Json)
    this.contentType(contentType)
    this.setBody(body)
}

As a result, a DELETE /items/{id}?row=1 without a request body goes out with Content-Type: application/json and Content-Length: 0. Servers that bind a JSON body whenever the content type says JSON reject the request. ASP.NET Core with FastEndpoints answers:

{"statusCode":400,"message":"One or more errors occurred!","errors":{"/SerializerErrors":["The input does not contain any JSON tokens. Expected the input to start with a valid JSON token, when isFinalBlock is true. LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 0."]}}

The same DELETE succeeds when the client omits the Content-Type header. DELETE operations that do declare a JSON requestBody work as expected.

The same block exists in libraries/jvm-ktor/infrastructure/ApiClient.kt.mustache.

openapi-generator version

7.25.0 (Gradle plugin org.openapi.generator). The same code is in the 7.26.0 templates and on master (modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/kotlin-client/libraries/multiplatform/infrastructure/ApiClient.kt.mustache, the request function). Not a regression as far as I can tell.

Generation Details
generatorName: kotlin
library: multiplatform
additionalProperties:
  dateLibrary: kotlinx-datetime
Steps to reproduce
  1. Generate the client from the spec above with -g kotlin --library multiplatform.
  2. Call deleteItem("1", 1) against any server, or a request logger.
  3. Observe the request headers: Content-Type: application/json, Content-Length: 0.

Actual: a JSON content type is sent although the operation has no request body.
Expected: no Content-Type header (and no body) when the operation declares no requestBody.

Related issues/PRs

None found (searched for "multiplatform DELETE content-type empty body" and "EmptyContent Content-Type").

Suggest a fix

Only set the content type and body when there is a body, for example:

if (requestConfig.method in listOf(RequestMethod.PUT, RequestMethod.POST, RequestMethod.PATCH, RequestMethod.DELETE) &&
    body != null && body !is io.ktor.client.utils.EmptyContent
) {
    val contentType = (requestConfig.headers[HttpHeaders.ContentType]?.let { ContentType.parse(it) }
        ?: ContentType.Application.Json)
    this.contentType(contentType)
    this.setBody(body)
}

The same change applies to the jvm-ktor template.
