[aruvic]

Hi,

Please, can you explain me why following test is generated by EvoMaster in file: EvoMaster_fault_representatives_Test.java

    @Test @Timeout(60)
    public void test_1() throws Exception {
        List<InsertionDto> insertions = sql().insertInto("MY_ENTITY", 3525L)
                .d("CREATION_DATE", "NULL")
                .d("DESCRIPTION", "NULL")
                .d("NAME", "\"gOFnxwrzB20w\"")
                .d("ROLE", "\"eNmP1rmXiaup\"")
                .d("STATUS", "\"\"")
            .dtos();
        InsertionResultsDto insertionsresult = controller.execInsertionsIntoDatabase(insertions);
        ExpectationHandler expectationHandler = expectationHandler();
        
        ValidatableResponse res_0 = given().accept("*/*")
                .header("x-EMextraHeader123", "_EM_982_XYZ_")
                .contentType("application/json")
                .body(" { " + 
                    " \"id\": 1, " + 
                    " \"description\": \"FsXh2mxjt\", " +

                    " \"relatedParty\": {} " + 
                    " } ")
                .put(baseUrlOfSut + "/api/myentity/1?" + 
                    "EMextraParam123=_EM_981_XYZ_&" + 
                    "fields=sHL4")
                .then()
                .statusCode(200)
                .assertThat()
                .contentType("application/json")
                .body("'name'", nullValue())
                .body("'description'", containsString("FsXh2mxjt"))
                .body("'status'", containsString("UayT47OFx0Xfx"))
                .body("'creationDate'", nullValue())
                .body("'relatedParty'.'role'", nullValue());
        
        expectationHandler.expect(ems);
    }

Hi @aruvic ,

thanks for reporting this bug. Indeed there would be no reason for why such a test should endup in fault_representatives group

That's what I thought as well. PUT is expected to perform full resource updates and PATCH for partial updates. In above example name is expected to be NULL after PUT where no name was provided.
