--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Connect validation API stops returning recommendations for some fields after the right sequence of requests
                 Key: KAFKA-5498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5498
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
            Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
            Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
             Fix For: 0.11.0.0


If you issue the right sequence of requests against this API, it starts behaving differently, omitting  certain fields (at a minimum recommended values, which is how I noticed this). If you start with

You can see that the recommended values for transformations are there. However, if you do

{code}
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"connector.class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSourceConnector", "name": "file"}' http://localhost:8083/connector-plugins/org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSourceConnector/config/validate  | jq
{code}

before that command, the recommended values will not appear.
