Hi 👋 I’m playing with ktor on Android platform, to see how it works. I managed to test the get request, but i’m hitting MissingFieldException when trying out post.
Can smbd please check what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance! Some code snippets:

@Serializable
data class RegistrationParams(
    val name: String,
    val job: String
)

@Serializable
data class RegistrationResponse(
    @SerialName("name") val name: String,
    @SerialName("job") val job: String,
    @SerialName("id") val id: String,
    @SerialName("createdAt") val createdAt: String
)

val httpClient = HttpClient(Android) {
        install(JsonFeature) {
            val json = Json { ignoreUnknownKeys = true }
            serializer = KotlinxSerializer(json = json)
        }
    }

suspend fun samplePostRequest(): RegistrationResponse = <http://client.post|client.post>(
        urlString = "<https://reqres.in/api/users>",
    ) {
        body = Json.encodeToString(
            RegistrationParams.serializer(),
            RegistrationParams(
                name = "Neo",
                job = "The Chosen One"
            )
        )
    }

The error message says: Field 'name' is required, but it was missing

I think you can just put in body = RegistrationParams(name = "Neo", job = "The Chosen One")

[Joost Klitsie]

because the client should be able to serialize it

perhaps put the contenttype next to it:

contentType(ContentType.Application.Json)
