wiremock urlPattern

[ernstam]

Dear marco and Sudharsan,

I was gratefully using protractor-http-client for a front-end application test to talk with a wiremock instance running on the same server. I noticed that, when trying to post an urlPattern, the escaped characters ('\d' for instance) are not transformed properly. Here's a dummy example.

wiremock.getHttpClient().post('mappings', '{ "urlPattern": "\\d" }', headers);

will work and results in 'Received request to /mappings with body { 'urlPattern': \d }', but

let stub = { 'urlPattern': '\\d' }; wiremock.getHttpClient().post('mappings', stub, headers);

fails and results in 'Received request to /mappings with body {"urlPattern":"\d"}'

note the double backslash.

Obviously the workaround could be to enter the entire stub (which is more complex than the dummy example) as a string, but JSON.stringify is also useless and shows the same behaviour and will prove to be quite the fiddle.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but if fixed it would open many possibilities for using your package together with wiremock.

Regards, Ernst Stam

Hi Ernst! what would be the expected behavior? Have you tried to pass the non-double-backslashed character, like

let stub = { urlPattern: '\d' }

Marco,

You're absolutely right. In my noobishness, I forgot that the Json, I send to wiremock, itself needs an escaped backslash too.

Anyway, thanks for the quick reply. And good luck with the project. I got the wiremock connection with my protractor test working, by the way.

Kind regards, Ernst Stam
