Description

In the ApiClient.kt.mustache file during the creation of the request body the requestBody(content: T, mediaType: String?) method correctly builds a multipart/form request when part.body is File, but for all other data types the part is added to the request by calling the .toString() method on the part body:

addPart(
    Headers.of(partHeaders),
    RequestBody.create(null, parameterToString(part.body))
)

This results in the .toString() method being called on a ByteArray - which returns a string containing the class name, '@' symbol, and the hash code of the array object ("[B@7c67645b"), instead of the contents of the byte array.

Research direction

Start in modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/kotlin-client/libraries/jvm-okhttp/infrastructure/ApiClient.kt.mustache, especially requestBody(content: T, mediaType: String?) and the multipart addPart call around line 156. Reproduce the issue by generating a Kotlin client from the supplied multipart OpenAPI definition and posting a ByteArray; done means the request contains the byte array contents rather than its object representation.
