Python Connexion — Control "Type" Key In 400 Response Errors

I'm using connexion, a python library for REST API's, with a swagger definition. It's working properly for the actual requests, but when there is an error condition, such as valida

Solution 1:

I have never worked with the underlying framework, but with a quick scan, the module exposes the Flask application constructor. With that, you can define a new app with your swagger file as

app = connexion.App(__name__, specification_dir='swagger/')

and then add custom error handlers. For example for the 400 error you can do

from flask import jsonify

@app.errorhandler(400)
def page_not_found(e):
    custom_data = {
        'type': 'Advanced type'
        # etc
    }
    return jsonify(custom_data)

Solution 2:

I went through this problem also by imputing null to some model property. If you do not want to create an error handler just add the tag x-nullable: true in the property that the validation is occurring.
