[Bug]

[RajS999]

Current behavior:

When I upload the png file (when the expected input file is something else, in my case *.py file), website gives error

ERROR: You have submitted a file factorial.py of type py but the contents are of application/octet-stream type. 

I get same error with jpg and mp3 file upload.

Desired behavior:

Website should give error:

ERROR: You have submitted a file factorial.py of type py but the contents are of image/png type

as this is the error I get when I manually upload (not through cypress) png file.

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

I tried following:

cy.get('input[name="docfile"]').attachFile(filePath)
cy.contains('input','Upload').click()

Specifying mimetype explicitly still gives me same error:

cy.get('input[name="docfile"]').attachFile({ filePath: _filePath, mimeType : _mimeType })

Hi @RajS999 You should set encoding property to tell how exactly the file should be processed.
