Support "file" as source for callbacks' request body about apisimulator HOT 5 CLOSED

And this one is also working like a charm 🍹

response:
  callback: # https://apisimulator.io/docs/latest/standalone-api-simulator/callback.html
    http1:
      body:
        file: ${simlet.path}/character-subscription.request.json
      from: template
    ...

{
  "first_name": "${_json.evalJsonPath(_request.bodyText, '.first_name')}",
  "last_name": "${_json.evalJsonPath(_request.bodyText, '.last_name')}",
  "age": ${_json.evalJsonPath(_request.bodyText, '.age')},
  "subscriber_id": "${character_id}"
}

Yes - as the documentation for v1.9 states "...A file as source for the callback request body is not currently supported".

It is still possible to have the body come from a file by using Parameter from File. For example:

BodyFromFileParm:
  is: parameter
  from: file
  file: ${simlet.path}/body.json

response:
  ...   
  callback:
    http2:
      from: template
      ...
      body: ${ BodyFromFileParm }

I didn't overlook this one 😉

Is this something you are going to consider, or is it too complicated to implement? I know the "Parameter from File" solution is useful as a counterpart, but it feels strange that almost everywhere else (I know of) the "DSL" supports file solution, but this one in particular do not.

Gotcha.

It is a bit inconsistent with the support of file elsewhere, agreed. I frankly don't remember why it wasn't implemented "day one"...but it shouldn't be complicated to implement.

This enhancement was included in the just released v1.10.

Give it a try when you get a chance, @x80486
Thanks!
