[BUG] Cannot save test : ERROR - Request Entity Too Large

Cerberus4.17-SNAPSHOT-1756 Build 20231015-163303

Hello

When I save my test/ scenario, I have an error : ERROR - Request Entity Too Large

It seems that because I have many action "upload File to Robot" with a BIG content (Conversion from PDF to base64) in my scenario. Indeed, I need to upload 50 PDF on my test.

You can reproduce by adding one more time the last step on the scenario here : https://lmc.cerberus-testing.com/TestCaseScript.jsp?test=ECONTRAT%20-%20Sc%C3%A9narios&testcase=0004A&step=13&tabactive=tabSteps#

Is it possible to correct the error and allow me to upload many file in the same scenario ?

I beleive request is too big as it include all the files to upload. Maybe it can be fixed by increasing max size on application server side if possible. best will be to the manage files outside test case définition. If files are images you can already use it with .base64 suffix. for the other files we will have to create the screen and object.

all files I want to upload are PDF. How can I manage these types of files outside test case ?

[vertigo17]

You can't yet. Do you have any way to split your actions/controls on different testcases or reduce file sizes.

I resolve this issue by spliting the base64 value into many variables then concatenate the full value into a final variable with groovy

Good but Looks very dirty ;-(.

The error is coming from nginx http server. As a workaround the following parameter can be changed (it default to 1M)

client_max_body_size 5M;

inside config file

vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

; Target to create data file object is still relevant though

fixed by https://github.com/cerberustesting/cerberus-core/commit/f42d848f5e857f305c911daa850be3781ac29efa you can now use datalib FILE type and %datalib.DATALIBNAME.base64% variable inside testcase.
