Error 422: Unprocessable entity when I send form data from JS script

Backend

from fastapi import FastAPI, File, Form, UploadFile, Request
from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware

app = FastAPI()

origins = ["http://127.0.0.1:5500"]
app.add_middleware(
    CORSMiddleware,
    allow_origins=origins,
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
)


@app.post("/test")
def test(username: str = Form(...)):
    print(f"########### Received {username} #############")

Frontend

async function sendData() {
    formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('username', 'Kareem');
    const response = await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:8000/test', {
        method: 'POST',
        data: formData
    })
    console.log(response)

Response

Response {
body: (...)
bodyUsed: false
headers: Headers {}
ok: false
redirected: false
status: 422
statusText: "Unprocessable Entity"
type: "cors"
url: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/test"
__proto__: Response }

Description

• The /test endpoint is simply supposed to recieve a form containing only username and print it out.
• When I test the API using swagger docs it works fine as expected, but when I try to send form data from an external script it throws me this error and that response object above.

Environment

• OS: Linux
• FastAPI version: 0.61.1
• Python version: 3.8.2

Has anyone figured out what the issue was? I have a frontend which must use .fetch() so cannot use XMLHttpRequest.
