Specmatic uses auto-generated payload over examples specified in yaml

[dennisko762]

Description

As mentioned in the title while running specmatic contract tests against java spring api, instead of using the payload examples for request and response, specmatic uses auto-generated payload with random values.

Steps to reproduce

1. Implement a simple CRUD api in any language you prefer based on the attached yaml.
2. run following command java -jar specmatic.jar test src/main/resources/openapi.yaml --testBaseURL=http://localhost:3000 to test your api.
3. Observe the test payload that differes from the examples specified in the openapi.yaml file.

Expected behavior Test payload equals what I specified in the examples section of the api description in the openapi.yaml file. For the POST and GET endpoints I specified example payloads similarly as described in this article (chapter PetStore API Specification): https://specmatic.io/getting_started.html and expected my examples to be used for the test, resulting in success.

System Information:

• Windows 10 Professional
• Specmatic version: 2.0.20
• Intellij 2023.1.4
• JDK version: 19.0.1

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards
