Describe the bug you're encountering
My API exposes a POST endpoint with a 'version tag' attribute of type string.
When invoked through Swagger-UI "Try it out", the String "1.0" is parsed as
the value "1", which is then passed to the server.
Given that this a version tag, not a decimal number, the change is significant.
To reproduce...
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use the given spec in editor.swagger.io
- Hit "try it out"
- See the actual CURL - the version tag value has been rewritten as '1'
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://editor.swagger.io/test' \
-H 'accept: */*' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'versionTag=1'
Expected behavior
The version tag parameter value should be '1.0':
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://editor.swagger.io/test' \
-H 'accept: */*' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-d 'versionTag=1.0'
