I wonder if I can set some values in the stub to use as template values in the response. For example, let's say I have a generic response for a

DELETE

endpoint, and I have a response

bodyFileName

that has something like

Copy code

{
  "message": "Deleted {{arguments.count}} items"
}

And then I would have a stub like this

Copy code

{
  "request": ...,
  "response": {
    "bodyFileName": ...,
    "arguments": {
      "count": 1
    }
...
}

Or can I use the

metadata

for that? 🤔

My actual use case is that I have a scenario where a GET returns 404 initially (i.e., in STARTED state), until a POST moves it to STORED state. So DELETE should return "count: 0" in STARTED state, but "count: 1" in STORED state (and then move to STARTED again. I probably need 2 stubs anyway, but I wonder if I can get around having 2 response bodies

You can use transformer parameters on a stub for this. Accessed via

{{parameters.myParam}}

You set them under the

transformerParameters

in the

response

element in the stub JSON

Ooh, interesting, let me check that out 👍

Great, I think that will work!

Is it possible to access scenario state, even though my stub is valid for multiple scenarios? For example in the above case: can I have two stub outsides of the scenarios that handle DELETE? Or does a stub need to have

scenarioName

when it uses

requiredScenarioState

? 🤔

Yes - Scenarios require a name and a required state.

Ah okay, I guess it's easier to understand like that anyway 🙂
