Multipart Request about flask_accepts

[apryor6]

The way it is currently implemented, flask_accepts reserves the JSON body for the schema parameter if one has been provided. This is mostly to prevent logical conflict/collision between schemas and associated query parameters. This prevents the (potentially confusing) scenario where a query parameter is provided with the same name as an attribute in the schema.

How are you including a file inside of a Marshmallow schema? Or do you just mean that a file is part of the request, perhaps like in the example here?

[umang-singhal]

Yes, exactly like in this example(the file is a part of a POST request) and the marshmallow schema consists of a fields.Raw attribute to parse that.
Since binary type object(file) cannot be JSON parsed, this request is sent as multipart and cannot be parsed using request.get_json(). Here we could use request.values and request.files to parse request data.
I have worked out a quick way-around here. Can you suggest if it is the right way or there can be a better way?

[apryor6]

Yes this looks on track, just verify that request.files can be accessed safely even if it is not provided. I can’t recall the behavior and am on holiday unable to check for a couple of days. Provided that request.files returns an empty dict when not provided, your code looks fine.
