[midPoint] Objects uploaded via REST API, everything between <code></code> mangled into single

[Kari Heikkilä]

Hi Pavol, Ivan & Mikko

I tried REST API as per https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/REST+API#RESTAPI-CreateorUpdateobject
ie. using curl with PUT method, see transcript below (some parts of transcript anonymized).

Have not tried Mikko’s idea using CDATA wrapping yet.

Regards,
Kari

I have the same experience (uploading XML files with groovy code via plugin without problems). Plugin uses PUT if the object has an OID and POST if it has none. Maybe if you could post here more details, like how exactly you try to upload the objects: e.g. the transcript of HTTP communication, or information on commands/libraries used, etc. Or maybe you could set up some logging to see where the newlines are being eaten.

Hi Kari,

this is interesting, as I'm using midPoint 3.5.1 with Eclipse plugin (which uses REST) and after uploading resource, I certainly see multiline code in Repository pages... Maybe that's different operation...

Regards,

Ivan

Hi,

started to use midPoint REST API for updating objects I noticed that everything between <code></code> tags is reformatted into single line.
This means multiline groovy scripts will become very difficult to read (for human) in midPoint and if semicolons are missing, groovy code execution will most probably fail.

Used PUT method and .xml files with both nl and cr+lf line endings tried.

Is there anything to prevent this behavior?

Best regards,
Kari
