swagger node ValidationError: "body" is required - node.js

Question

I asked another question in another thread that gave me start on Swagger POST, but here I am stuck with another problem.
Here is my parameter definitions in my config json file
"/people/postTest": {
"post": {
"summary": "post test.",
"description": "Test.",
"operationId": "postTest",
"consumes": [
"application/json"
],
"tags": [
"test post"
],
"parameters": [
{
"in":"body",
"name":"body",
"description": "body for the POST request",
"required":true,
"schema": {"$ref":"#/definitions/inBody"}
}
] }}
"definitions": {
"inBody": {
"properties": {
"RequestSystem": {
"type": "string"
}}}}
(copied it from a big file so only took a small part but there is no issues with syntax)
and I am using CURL to post my request
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"RequestSystem":"IVR"}' http://localhost:8016/people/postTest
and this is the validation error I am getting when I try to start my node server
**ValidationError: "body" is required**
I know I am passing "RequestSystem" parameter but I am not sure where I am making mistakes in setting up my params in my config json file's "parameters". Any help would be appreciated.

I think you need to make required=false
[
{
"in":"body",
"name":"body",
"description": "body for the POST request",
"required":false,
"schema": {"$ref":"#/definitions/inBody"}
}
]
}
}
Try this It should work.
