REST API requires PATCH requests to have Content-Type : application/json-patch+json	10/20/2021 3:23:45 PM
PHPRunner General questions
J jshroads author Working on an update function (list and single work) When I try and set the Content-Type to application/json-patch+json, and then run the request I get an error :Return code: 500 [{"ok": false,"error": "InternalServerError","field": null,"message": "Error processing request."} ] If I use application/json, the request says it works, but the data is not updated. This behavior is identical in Postman, so issue is I must use application/json-patch+json. Any workaround or ideas?

	PHPRunner doesn't support application/json-patch+json content type, but it shouldn't be a problem for you. Just skip the 'Run request' part, it is not needed with update operation. To make the generated application support application/json-patch+json type do the following. After building the project open the generates classes/datasource/httprequest.php file with a text editor. Locate this snippet there: `if( $type == "application/json" ) { return my_json_encode( $this->postPayload ); }` and replace it with `if( $type == "application/json" \|\| $type == "application/json-patch+json" ) { return my_json_encode( $this->postPayload ); }` You can apply the same changes to the file in <PHPRunner installation directory>\source to make them permanent. We'll add "application/json-patch+json" support with the next update of PHPRunner.
