the documentation of wiremock says that we can mock a a request that retrieve a file thanks to this code :
{ "request": { "method": "GET", "url": "/body-file" }, "response": { "status": 200, "bodyFileName": "path/to/myfile.xml" } }
But now I have to find a way to reaaly upload the file other wise I have 500 error on the request.
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"/> <title>Error 500 </title> </head> <body> <h2>HTTP ERROR: 500</h2> <p>Problem accessing /body-file. Reason: <pre> java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /wiremock-standalone/./__files/path/to/myfile.xml (No such file or directory)</pre> </p> <hr /> <i> <small>Powered by Jetty://</small> </i> </body>
Precision : I cannot upload the file directly due to our infrastructure constraints.
Recent Wiremock versions have endpoint to manage stub files (see https://github.com/tomakehurst/wiremock/blob/2.19.0/src/main/java/com/github/tomakehurst/wiremock/admin/AdminRoutes.java#L77)
You can upload a file with a PUT to /__admin/files/{filename}. There are stored under ${pwd}/__files.
A workaround would be to use the "body" parameter, something like this:
{ { "request": { "method": "GET", "url": "/body-file" }, "response": { "status": 200, "body": "<example><node Id='1' Action='Insert' /></example>" } }
(Note the single quotes in '1' vs. "1" - you'd need to escape those with \"1\".
See http://wiremock.org/docs/stubbing - Specifying the response body section.
If you need JSON payload, it's even nicer with the "jsonBody" parameter:
{ { "request": { "method": "GET", "url": "/body-file" }, "response": { "status": 200, "jsonBody": { "field1": "value1", "field2" : "value2" } } }
Another nice feature is, quoting:
Stub mappings which have been created can be persisted to the mappings directory via a call to WireMock.saveAllMappings in Java or posting a request with an empty body to http://<host>:<port>/__admin/mappings/save.
