file upload example problem with integer input value

[pinksnotdead]

All i've done was from this example https://api-platform.com/docs/core/file-upload/#uploading-to-an-existing-resource-with-its-fields

I've got problem with posting integer value. Response: "The type of the "size" attribute must be "int", "string" given."

In my MongoDB Document is a simple integer field and new file field:

// ...
#[ApiResource(
    collectionOperations: [
        'get',
        'post' => [
            'input_formats' => [
                'multipart' => ['multipart/form-data'],
            ],
            "openapi_context" => [
                "requestBody" => [
                    "content" => [
                        "multipart/form-data" => [
                            "schema" => [
                                "type" => "object",
                                "properties" => [
                                    "size" => [
                                        "type" => "integer",
                                        "format" => "int32"
                                    ],
                                    "file" => [
                                        "type" => "string",
                                        "format" => "binary"
                                    ]
                                ]
                            ]
                        ]
                    ]
                ]
            ]

        ],
    ],
)]
// ...
    /**
     * @ODM\Field(type="integer")
     */
    public $size;

// ...

    public function getSize(): ?int
    {
        return $this->size;
    }

    public function setSize(int $size): void
    {
        $this->size = $size;
    }

// ...

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost/api/endpoint_name' \
  -H 'accept: application/ld+json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'size=123' \
  -F '[email protected];type=image/jpeg'

I think there is a problem with sending data via curl -F. Symfony or api-platform auto-cast data to string. Sending using Content-Type: application/ld+json works correctly, because swagger use object -d flag.

My workaround was to modify MultipartDecoder class from example by casting possible integer coming from request:

// src/Encoder/MultipartDecoder.php

// ...
        return array_map(static function (string $element) {
            // Multipart form values will be encoded in JSON.
            $decoded = json_decode($element, true);

            // this avoid converting int to string
            if (is_numeric($element)) {
                $element = (int)$element;
            }

            return \is_array($decoded) ? $decoded : $element;
        }, $request->request->all()) + $request->files->all();
// ...

so... am i right and docs should be updated or an error is somewhere else?

the same error with MySQL, so it's related with serializer and exacly with this example

Had the same problem. I think a better fix would be something like this :

return \is_array($decoded) | is_int($decoded) ? $decoded : $element;

I suspect booleans can also be an issue but I did not test it.
