Cannot upload a binary file via when using `multipart` and `Part`

[liiight]

Describe the bug Uplink throws an exception when trying to send a binary file using the multipart decorator:

Traceback (most recent call last):

To Reproduce

class HTTPBin(Consumer):

    @multipart
    @post('post')
    def post(self, foo: Part):
        pass


file_path = Path('some_binary.file')
bin = HTTPBin('https://httpin.org')
files = {file_path.name: file_path.read_bytes()}
r = bin.post(foo=files)

Expected behavior This should be the equivalent of the following requests code (which works):

files = {file_path.name: file_path.read_bytes()}
r = requests.post('https://httpbin.org/post', files=files)

When trying to implement a suggested workaround:

@register_default_converter_factory
class PassThroughConverter(interfaces.Factory):
    def create_request_body_converter(self, type_, *args, **kwargs):
        return lambda value: value

I get a different error:

Hello, I'm fairly new to this package so I'm using the Petstore Swagger API to practice. Unfortunately, I'm also trying to upload a file but I'm unsure on how to do so.

I'm able to execute 1 call (add pet to petstore -> in order to get a pet_id), but I'm unable to upload a file using multipart (uploadFile).

When I call uploadFile, I get the following message:

A successful request returns the following response:

As such, I was wondering if you could please help and share what the proper way of uploading a file and structuring the Pets class is, for the class that I created using Uplink?

Thank you!

@joeld1 - The file upload behavior you are encountering may be caused by an issue identified in #183. Can you try adding the workaround mentioned in https://github.com/prkumar/uplink/issues/183#issuecomment-562621257 to your script?

[yyolk]

I've tried using the workaround mentioned here https://github.com/prkumar/uplink/issues/183#issuecomment-562621257 but there is still an issue with it. Also I wasn't sure where value is coming from in the suggested workaround, but after walking through it I understand it's returning a callable that will simply pass-through the value given to it.

edit: i am able to send a file with the appropriate content-type if I pass in a tuple that requests would expect and using the workaround mentioned here https://github.com/prkumar/uplink/issues/183#issuecomment-562621257 this isn't ideal (I'd like to keep the ability to switch out the underlying client) but it's working for me right now.

edit 2: realized I didn't share my workaround with my last update, here it is for others. also interested @prkumar in your thoughts on the content-type per part.

from mimetypes import guess_type

from uplink.converters import StandardConverter
from uplink import (
    Consumer,
    Part,
    post,
    multipart,
    returns,
    headers,
)



def pass_through_request_body_converter(self, type_, *args, **kwargs):
    return lambda value: value


StandardConverter.create_request_body_converter = pass_through_request_body_converter


@headers({"Accept": "application/json"})
class BlobClient(Consumer):
    def post_blob(self, blob_fp, something_interesting):
        blob_type, _ = guess_type(blob_fp.name)
        return self._post_blob(
            (blob_fp.name, blob_fp, blob_type), something_interesting
        )

    @multipart
    @returns.json
    @post("/")
    def _post_blob(self, blob: Part, something_interesting: Part):
        pass
