Spring Cloud Contract Fails to generate tests for Form URL encoded request body

[DhavalShewale]

Spring Cloud Contract does not generate correct test classes for Form URL encoded request body

Version: 4.0.4

Contract

request:
  method: POST
  url: /exportData
  body: "fromDt=16-Aug-2023&toDt=25-Aug-2023"
  headers:
    Content-Type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"
response:
  status: 200
  bodyFromFileAsBytes: response/export_data.xlsx
  headers:
    Content-Disposition: "attachment; filename=[EXTRACT] Export Data.xlsx"

Generated Test Case

@Test
public void validate_export_data() throws Exception {
	// given:
		MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
				.header("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8")
				.body("");

	// when:
		ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)

				.post("/exportData");

	// then:
		assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);
		assertThat(response.header("Content-Disposition")).isEqualTo("attachment; filename=[EXTRACT] Export Data.xlsx");


	// and:
		assertThat(response.getBody().asByteArray()).isEqualTo(fileToBytes(this, "export_data_response_export_data.xlsx"));
}

The body of request is generated as empty string in Test Class instead of the configured body in yaml

The behavior is same even if contract is configured in groovy as follows:

org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
  request {
    method 'POST'
    url '/exportData'
    headers {
      header("Content-Type": 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8')
    }
    body('fromDt=16-Aug-2023&toDt=25-Aug-2023')
  }
  response {
    status 200
  }
}

@marcingrzejszczak: Do we know by when this fix will be GA? I checked the milestone page and it does not list a release date.
