Reproduce

Looks like all python versions are failing in the same way.

python3 -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements/dev.txt
tox

Expected Behavior

Tests expects to see mediatypes as both application/json and application/xml

Actual Behavior

Test only sees application/json

Additional info

Failure started about 3 weeks ago:

From what I can see nothing changed in the repo since March. Looking at the good run and the bad run, the only differences are:

• Werkzeug (Good: 2.3.4, Bad: 2.3.5)
• urllib (Good: 2.0.2, Bad: 2.0.3)

Changing urllib to the old version didn't fix it.
Changing Werkzeug to the old 2.3.4 version fixed the failure.

Werkzeug 2.3.5 changlog: https://werkzeug.palletsprojects.com/en/2.3.x/changes/#version-2-3-5

[darless]

From 2.3.5 changelog the culprit is likely:

Improper Content-Length Parsing Werkzeug - 2716

test_media_types_method - can be fixed

Updating test_media_types_method to have q=0.5 instead of q=.5, fixes that test:

    def test_media_types_method(self, app, mocker):
        api = restx.Api(app)

        with app.test_request_context(
            "/foo", headers={"Accept": "application/xml; q=0.5"}
        ):

test_media_types_q

The 2nd test that fails is test_media_types_q, which also has q=.5. Changing that to 0.5 didn't fix it and it fails in a different way. The api.mediatypes() returns an empty list

self = <test_api_legacy.APITest object at 0x7fc0fdd8aca0>, app = <Flask 'tests.conftest'>

    def test_media_types_q(self, app):
        api = restx.Api(app)
    
        with app.test_request_context(
            "/foo", headers={"Accept": "application/json; q=1, application/xml; q=0.5"}
        ):
>           assert api.mediatypes() == ["application/json", "application/xml"]
E           AssertionError: assert ['application/xml'] == ['application...lication/xml']
E             At index 0 diff: 'application/xml' != 'application/json'
E             Right contains one more item: 'application/xml'

@darless Thanks for bringing this to my attention and the suggested fixes. For some reason, I didn't get notified by the build system! I will try and get it patched tomorrow. :)

[thefunkinator]

Change in Werkzeug 2.3.5 as issued here caused the fail in build. As per HTTP RFC the quality-factor for HTTP Accept Header has to be like X.X. So changing them all to such format, all Unit tests and Tox test passes.

Also posted a PR for review. :-)

[peter-doggart]

@chipndell Thanks for the PR, I never quite got the time to fix as I had planned!

[thefunkinator]

@peter-doggart No worries. I loved to work on it. Also please share if you have more cool features that needs to be implemented. Learning and looking forward. :-)
