Unsafe access to `requestBody.content['application/json'].schema` caused TypeError when application/json was not a content type (e.g., multipart/form-data, text/plain, or missing entirely). + +2. When compileAjv() returned undefined (because the method has no requestBody, like GET/DELETE, or the requestBody has no JSON schema), the middleware incorrectly threw "Request body validation is not supported" error. This is wrong - methods without request bodies simply don't need body validation, and endpoints with non-JSON content types should silently skip rather than error. + +Changes: +- Added `findContentSchema()` helper function that safely finds a schema from any content type, prioritizing application/json but falling back to any available schema +- Changed validation middleware to skip body validation (not throw error) when no schema is defined +- Added comprehensive tests for all edge cases + +This ensures: +- Request body validation works for all paths/methods +- No false "unsupported" errors for endpoints without request bodies +- Invalid request bodies are properly validated when schema exists +- Non-JSON content types with schemas are properly supported diff --git a/src/apps/api/middlewares/validation.middleware.ts b/src/apps/api/middlewares/validation.middleware.ts index 244d6f808..e2897c3d3 100644 --- a/src/apps/api/middlewares/validation.middleware.ts +++ b/src/apps/api/middlewares/validation.middleware.ts @@ -29,6 +29,31 @@ export interface ValidationMiddlewareOptions { const ajvInstance = createAjvInstance();
