id missing in the payload for the endpoint POST /accounts

[MBhartiya]

In the response for GET /_api_,

for the endpoint POST /accounts, the ObjectSchema( body) is

Using this body gives the following error,

{
    "code": 400,
    "errno": 107,
    "error": "Invalid parameters",
    "message": "data.id in body: Required",
    "details": [
        {
            "location": "body",
            "name": "data.id",
            "description": "data.id in body: Required"
        }
    ]
}

The "id" field is missing in the body of the endpoint POST /accounts in the OpenAPI Spec.
Correct payload should be,

{
    "data": {
        "password": "string",
        "id": "username",
        "additionalProp1": "string",
        "additionalProp2": "string",
        "additionalProp3": "string"
    },
    "permissions": {
        "read": [
            "string"
        ],
        "write": [
            "string"
        ]
    }
}

Hi, I would like to take a look at this issue.

[Natim]

Please feel free to go ahead!

Maybe should we actually remove the POST and turn it into a PUT because requiring an id on POST seems a bit odd to me.

I managed to recreate and get correct response. Now trying to understand source code.

Hi Natim, I'm very new and struggling to find where this is specified in the code. Any suggestions to point me in the right direction?

I've been looking at this for a while, and I'm struggling to find how to access the OpenAPI Spec. Any tips is much appreciated.

You mean for the error message?

https://github.com/Kinto/kinto/blob/master/kinto/plugins/accounts/views/__init__.py#L28-L39

It is then used here: https://github.com/Kinto/kinto/blob/master/kinto/plugins/accounts/views/__init__.py#L85

Reading the code I think we don't want to fix this bug actually. Because it is an edge case of the admin privileges.

The OpenAPI is build automatically from the resource using the OpenAPI module
