Description

When generating the specified content in the OpenAPI file, the endpoint that receives a file generates an input of type string in the generated Swagger UI. This happens because the generated FastAPI endpoint uses a Form.

We compared this case with another application using the same file, where the input is correctly generated as a file upload field.

openapi-generator version

v7.9.0

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

Generation Details

Generated with jar:

java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -i openapi.yml -g python-fastapi -o openapi_server

Steps to reproduce

When generating the specified content in the OpenAPI file, the endpoint that includes the file looks like this:

async def upload_post(
    file: str = Form(None, description=""),
) -> None:
    
    return await BaseExampleApi.subclasses[0]().upload_post(file)

And this is what it looks like in swagger.

The expected code is something like this:

async def upload_post(
    file: UploadFile,
) -> None:
    
    return await BaseExampleApi.subclasses[0]().upload_post(file)
