The following article gives an example of posting a multipart/form-data payload in MUnit.

Mule version: 4.2.2
MUnit version: 2.2.2

This article assumes that you have already built a RAML and have a POST method accepting multipart/form-data content and asserting it can be done as per your requirements.

The POST method in this article expects the following:

JSON - JSON file as a part
Multiple binary files as part

When the request is made to this POST method from Postman or ARC, the content type is selected as multipart/form-data, and files are selected using the select/choose file button. But to make the same request in MUnit where the mock request needs to be sent to the POST method, use the following example.

Under src/test/resources in your application, create folder files/request.

Under files/request folder, copy the mock request files for multipart.

From the src/test/munit folder, open the test suite file and drop Set Event under Behavior from Palette -> MUnit.

Go to Set Event properties under the General tab and update the payload Media type to multipart/form-data and the value.

Note: Remember to include #[ ] to make it an expression since the button is not available here.

Here is the complete payload value with #[ ]
