Azure Logic Apps: Unable to Attach File to Azure DevOps Work Item via API - "Body parameters are not specified."

[pr081578]

Describe the Bug with repro steps

Set Up Logic App:

Add an action to retrieve an email attachment (Get Attachment from Office 365, for example).

Ensure the attachment content is available as a base64 string.

Add a Compose Action (Optional):

Use the expression base64ToBinary() to decode the attachment content into binary format:

base64ToBinary(outputs('Get_Attachment')?['body'])

Add HTTP Action to Upload the Attachment:

Method: POST

URI:

https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/wit/attachments?fileName={fileName}&api-version=6.0

Headers:

{

"Content-Type": "application/octet-stream",

"Authorization": "Bearer {PersonalAccessToken}"

}

Body: Pass the binary output from the Compose step or the base64 content directly.

Run the Logic App:

Trigger the Logic App to upload an attachment to Azure DevOps.

Observe the response from the Azure DevOps API.

Same issue here, here is the input send to the "upload attachment" task,
{ "method": "post", "queries": { "account": "[redacted]" }, "path": "/httprequest", "host": { "connection": { "referenceName": "visualstudioteamservices" } }, "body": { "Method": "POST", "Uri": "[redacted-teamname]/_apis/wit/attachments?uploadType=Simple&fileName=somerandomfile.pdf&api-version=7.1-preview.3", "Headers": { "content-type": "application/pdf" }, "Body": { "$content-type": "application/octet-stream", "$content": "SlZCRVJpMHhMalFLSm[redactedb64]=" }, "IsBase64": true } }
and here is the response,
{ "status": 400, "message": "Body parameters are not specified.\r\nclientRequestId: e4df9a7e-debd-465a-98f4-db9f9b0313fa", "error": { "message": "Body parameters are not specified." }, "source": "vsts-fc.azconn-fc-001.p.azurewebsites.net" }

Hello @pr081578

Could you share the way you upload the file to AzDo?

I finally found that the body should be simply set with the output values of the "retrieve attachments" task, i though that you looked at this post that says to put the "contentBytes" between binary() brackets for the upload task, it's not necessary and causes this problem.

Now my upload task looks like:

{ "type": "ApiConnection", "inputs": { "host": { "connection": { "referenceName": "visualstudioteamservices" } }, "method": "post", "body": { "Method": "POST", "Uri": "@{body('Parse_JSON')?['fields']?['System.TeamProject']}/_apis/wit/attachments?uploadType=Simple&fileName=@{body('Retrieve_attachments')?['name']}&api-version=7.1-preview.3", "Headers": { "content-type": "@{body('Parse_JSON_response_from_Retrieve_attachments_step_')?['contentType']}" }, "Body": "@body('Parse_JSON_response_from_Retrieve_attachments_step_')?['contentBytes']", "IsBase64": true }, "path": "/httprequest", "queries": { "account": "redacted" } }, "runAfter": { "Parse_JSON_response_from_Retrieve_attachments_step_": [ "SUCCEEDED" ] } }
