I am doing a backend server and I am having some trouble while testing /register route. I think that I have configured everything correctly but it gives me the 406 error when I try to do a POST method on Postman this is the link that I am using ´http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/users/register´ This i connected to a PostGreSQL DB, after I do the request on Postman I even checked the database, but there is nothing there, before this routing part I already have created a table using Ktor.

This is my route file




Kotlin
fun Route.userRoutes(db: repo, jwtService: JwtService, hashFunction: (String) -> String) {
    route("/v1/users") {
        post("/register") {
            try {
                val registerRequest = call.receive<RegisterRequest>()

                // Handle registration logic
                val user = User(registerRequest.email, hashFunction(registerRequest.password), registerRequest.name)
                db.addUser(user)
                call.respond(HttpStatusCode.OK, SimpleResponse(true, jwtService.generateToken(user)))

            } catch (e: Exception) {
                // Handle registration errors
                call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, SimpleResponse(false, "Missing Some Fields or Registration Failed"))
            }
        }



Register class


Kotlin
data class RegisterRequest(
    val email:String,
    val name:String,
    val password:String
)



SimpleResponse class


Kotlin
package com.example.data.model

data class SimpleResponse(
    val success:Boolean,
    val message:String
)


And when I try to send the POST on POSTMAN this is what appears on my console in IntelliJ


Terminal

the body on the request is this

{
"name": "john",
"email": "abcd@gmail.com",
"password": "pass"
}

Kotlin
fun Application.configureSerialization() {

    install(ContentNegotiation) {

            Json {
                prettyPrint = true
                isLenient = true
                encodeDefaults = false
            }

    }

    routing {
        get("/json/gson") {
            call.respond(mapOf("hello" to "world"))
        }
    }
}


What I have tried:

I have checked the headers tab on Postman and I have the Content-Type application/json and also the Accept "/"

The dependencies on Gradle I used latest.release

This is just for a simple Note App for android.

The problem seems to be because the RegisterRequest and SimpleResponse I think.

This is my first time using Ktor so sorry if I'm a bit behind in some aspects. Thank you for your time

I don't know Kotlin at all, but it seems you're catching an exception but completely ignoring it, only returning a generic response:
Kotlin
} catch (e: Exception) {
    // Handle registration errors
    call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, SimpleResponse(false, "Missing Some Fields or Registration Failed"))

Try returning, or log somewhere, the exception message so you get a better idea what the exception is complaining about.
