Multipart/form-data with File upload does not work with Pulumi

[frank-bee]

Describe what happened

How to reproduce

1. single-step API test with multipart/form-data manually with the datadog GUI ( with file upload !)
2. import it to a pulumi stack
3. run pulumi up
   --> see error below

However, when testing with Pulumi, both our team and Pulumi's engineers encountered the same issue you described, where request_file was not recognized. This issue requires further investigation.

One more info: in terraform this seems to work ( according to datadog support )

[VenelinMartinov]

Thanks for the report here @frank-bee and sorry for the trouble.

Can you please provider a pulumi program which reproduces this? Given that you've also tested in Terraform, can you please provide the terraform program too?

To verify, did you also import the resource in terraform and then run apply with the generated code or did you import the state without generating code?

@VenelinMartinov
As I said ,according to datadog support this issue was already reproduced by "the pulumi team". Are you part of that team?

Otherwise I can try to repoduce it again or at least send you some sample code.
But the relevant part - using the file upload button in datadog for multipart/formdata in synth tests - cannot be done in Pulumi at all at the moment. At least via pulumi import, I did not see the file / file content in the pulumi preview. Also in the pulumi documentation for synth tests I do not find this feature.

Hi @VenelinMartinov again,

here some sample code, but I didn't run it after reducing it to the critical part.
To actually reproduce it , it might be need to

1. run the code ( little modified ) with pulumi up and
2. afterwards modify the actual synth test in datadog using the feature "file upload" as request body (multipart form data) plus
3. import the test into pulumi stack

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as datadog from "@pulumi/datadog";

const config = new pulumi.Config();
const alertChannelCritical = config.require('alertChannelCritical');
const alertChannelWarning = config.require('alertChannelWarning');

[frank-bee]

this is the UI in datadog I talked about

[VenelinMartinov]

Thanks for providing the details @frank-bee. I've been unable to run that code as it seems to depend on other external bits, however I managed to reproduce the issue with the following:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as datadog from "@pulumi/datadog";

const testApi = new datadog.SyntheticsTest("test_api", {
    name: "An API test on example.org",
    type: "api",
    subtype: "http",
    status: "live",
    message: "Notify @pagerduty",
    locations: ["aws:eu-central-1"],
    tags: [
        "foo:bar",
        "foo",
        "env:test",
    ],
    requestDefinition: {
        bodyType: "multipart/form-data", // added after first pulumi up
        method: "GET",
        url: "https://www.example.org",
    },
    requestHeaders: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        Authentication: "Token: 1234566789",
    },
    assertions: [{
        type: "statusCode",
        operator: "is",
        target: "200",
    }],
    optionsList: {
        tickEvery: 900,
        retry: {
            count: 2,
            interval: 300,
        },
        monitorOptions: {
            renotifyInterval: 120,
        },
    },
},{
    import: "ate-p9x-735" // added after first pulumi up
});

[VenelinMartinov]

However running the pulumi import CLI command after modifying the test in the dashboard seems to work, can you try that:

1. provision test.
2. modify in the dashboard
3. run pulumi import datadog:index/syntheticsTest:SyntheticsTest test mytest-id

This generates code for the test which works with some slight modifications.

Does that work around the issue for you?

If not, can you please explain what you are trying to achieve here? Why are you modifying the test in the dashboard? Can you use the pulumi program to achieve the same?
