Configure jMeter Http Request to emulate this curl command

Question

I have a problem with preparing HTTP Requers in jMeter from the curl command I have:

curl --insecure -X POST -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" --header 
'header-param-1: aGVhZGVyLXBhcmFtLTE=' --header 'header-param-2: aGVhZGVyLXBhcmFtLTI=' 
--header 'header-param-3: aGVhZGVyLXBhcmFtLTM=' -F "file=@C:\temp\file to upload.zip" 
--form "metadata={\"jsonParam1\": \"text1\", \"jsonParam2\": 999, \"jsonParam3\": 10222, 
\"jsonParam4\":  \"2017-10-13T23:23:02.677Z\", \"jsonParam5\": \"text5\", 
\"jsonParam6\": \"3\", \"fileName\": \"file to upload.zip\", 
\"fileType\": \"application/pdf\"};type=application/json" 
"http://localhost:7001/context/rest/v1/uploadservice"

Basically, it is sending a file as multipart/form-data and json in the body as application/json type. The curl command is working as expected, but I couldn't make jMeter do the same.

I tried to find proper solution and ended up with a promise that manually constructing body data would help, but I had no luck with it.

I am using Cygwin for curl, since I use Windows. I also tried to use postman, but also failed to configure it.

Please help.

please show us screenshot of your Http request in jmeter

Create an HTTP Request with Header Manager as child

Where Header Manager is:

Where HTTP Request "Parameters" panel is configured like this:

And "Files Upload" panel in it:

I already tried that, but it doesn't work. I am afraid I need to do it manually through "Body Data". I am struggling with that approach now.

Just record the request.

Copy file to upload.zip to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation
From JMeter's main menu choose `File -> Templates -> Recording" and click "Create"
Expand WorkBench -> HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click "Start"

Run your "curl" command like:

curl -x http://localhost:8888 --insecure -X POST -H ......

JMeter will capture your request and store it under Test Plan -> Thread Group -> Recording Controller
