Your framework generates the API definition in the OpenAPI 2.0 format (swagger: '2.0') which does not support uploading an array of files. This is supported in OpenAPI 3.0 only (openapi: 3.0.0). If you use Springfox, there's a 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT version that outputs OpenAPI 3.0. — Helen

The content type shouldn't be JSON. You may verify by looking the logs at server level. Check the header if it contains any indicator to server that the request you are sending is a multipart or not.

Also, Did you try to send request from postman?

Check the curl command in the screen-shot shared by you, where content-type header set as application/json whereas the content-type suppose to be multipart.

I guess you are using swagger to test the file upload? Try using postman to isolate the issue (java api?/ swagger?)
