First check: did you enable response templating when starting the standalone server using either —global-response-templating or —local-response-templating? See https://wiremock.org/docs/running-standalone/#command-line-options

I am using —global-response-templating please have a look on my command

java -cp "wiremock-webhooks-extension-2.32.0.jar;wiremock-standalone-2.32.0.jar" com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.standalone.WireMockServerRunner --extensions "org.wiremock.webhooks.Webhooks" --local-response-templating --global-response-templating --port 7879 --verbose

Have you tried starting your WireMock server that way and creating a simple test that uses response templating in a regular response definition? Also, I’m not sure response templating works with post-serve actions, maybe @Oleg Nenashev can give you a more conclusive answer?

Thanks @Bas Dijkstra for the response, I have tried many other scenarios as well and the response template is working but the only issue is with post-serve actions.

You’re welcome. I don’t know the WireMock source code well enough but I suspect that by the time the post-serve action is triggered, the response has been sent and the request has been discarded (except in the log). But I may be completely wrong :) I’m sure someone from the core WireMock team can shed more light on this.

will catch up in 1 hr or so

@Kaushal Gupta have you tried to use

{{jsonPath originalRequest.body '$.baseUrl'}}

instead of {{request.baseUrl}} It looks like for templating in regular response supposed to be used keyword ‘*request*’ But for templating in postServeActions supposed to be used ‘*originalRequest*’

@Nikita Karpuk I tried after the replacement {{jsonPath originalRequest.body '$.baseUrl'}} from {{request.baseUrl}} but no luck.

{{jsonPath originalRequest.body '$.baseUrl'}}

the value for above is coming as blank only. please refer to the below screenshot

Could you provide example of request you sending to wiremock And example of callback you are expecting

request example

{
  "request": {
    "url": "/wiremock/middesk/v1/businesses",
    "method": "POST",
    "bodyPatterns": [
      {
        "matchesJsonPath": {
          "expression": "$..tin",
          "contains": "123"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "response": {
    "status": 200,
    "bodyFileName": "middesk-compliance-partner/customer_response/middeskInitiateResponse_success.json",
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
    }
  },
  "postServeActions": [
    {
      "name": "webhook",
      "parameters": {
        "headers": {
          "Content-Type": "application/json"
        },
        "method": "POST",
        "url": "{{jsonPath originalRequest.body '$.baseUrl'}}/callback",
        "delay": {
          "type": "fixed",
          "milliseconds": 10
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

I mean real request that application sends Like

POST 127.0.0.1:8888/wiremock/middesk/v1/businesses
{
 "baseUrl": "my-callback-url"
 "someOtherField" : "some value"
}

I am trying to understand if

baseUrl

a part of body or something else

yes curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:7879/wiremock/middesk/v1/businesses' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "tin":"123" }'

Could you also provide example of expected callback url?

'http://127.0.0.1:7879/middesk/callback

you could try to play with params like

originalRequest.url

- URL path and query - example

{{originalRequest.url}}

originalRequest.path

- URL path - example

{{originalRequest.path}}

originalRequest.pathSegments.[<n>]

- URL path segment (zero indexed) e.g.

{{originalRequest.pathSegments.[2]}}

And

originalRequest.baseUrl

- URL up to the start of the path e.g. https://my.example.com:8080

{{originalRequest.baseUrl}}

Thanks @Nikita Karpuk it worked finally for me, very very thanks u so much :)

@Kaushal Gupta you are very welcome

@Nikita Karpuk @Oleg Nenashev Good Morning, I need your help as I am trying to perform one more scenario that is I am trying to send the one field value in callback Url as a query parameter from the stubbed response and also using the same host and port of incoming coming request for callback URL: post server action callback URL will be like below:

"url": "<incomingRequestHost>:<incomingRequestPort>/middesk/callback?id={{response.id}}

where id is the field inside the stubbed response 
 "id": "{{randomValue type='UUID'}}",

but above one example is not working

@Kaushal Gupta as far as i know you could not get value from response to use it in a postServeAction Personally i did it via Dynamic Stabs using Java 1.

var id = UUID._randomUUID_().toString()

2. Create dynamic stub with response and postServeAction

wiremockClient.register(post(urlPathEqualTo(CALLBACK_TRIGGER_PATH))
            .willReturn(ok()
                ...
                .withBody("id =" + id))
            .withPostServeAction("webhook", webhook()
                ...
                .withUrl("..." + "?id=" + id)
                .withFixedDelay(1000))
        );

Hi @Nikita Karpuk I got the work around to resolve this : 1. used ninecookies callback simulator com.ninecookies.wiremock.extensions.CallbackSimulator 2. created one more fields in stubbed response like "baseUrl": "{{request.baseUrl}}". stubbed response body is below:

{
  "id": "{{randomValue type='UUID'}}",
  "name": "{{jsonPath request.body '$.name'}}",
  "baseUrl": "{{request.baseUrl}}",
  "tags": [],
  "addresses": [
    {
      "object": "address",
      "address_line1": "{{jsonPath request.body '$.addresses[0].address_line1'}}",
      "address_line2": "{{jsonPath request.body '$.addresses[0].address_line2'}}",
      "city": "{{jsonPath request.body '$.addresses.[0].city'}}",
      "state": "{{jsonPath request.body '$.addresses.[0].state'}}",
      "postal_code": "{{jsonPath request.body '$.addresses[0].postal_code'}}",
      "created_at": "2019-02-04T18:17:20.533Z",
      "updated_at": "2019-02-04T18:17:20.533Z"
    }
  ]
}

3. Created post server action like below

"postServeActions": {
    "callback-simulator": {
      "callbacks": [
        {
          "delay": 10,
          "url": "$(response.baseUrl)/middesk/callback",
          "data": {
            "object": "event",
            "id": "$(response.id)",
            "type": "business.updated",
            "data": {
              "object": {
                "id": "$(response.id)",
                "created_at": "2023-05-02T23:54:48.154Z",
                "updated_at": "2023-05-02T23:54:48.154Z",
                "external_id": null,
                "phone_numbers": [],
                "registrations": []
              }
            },
            "created_at": "2023-05-02T23:54:48.239Z"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }

4. run the standalone server with below command.

java -cp "wiremock-webhooks-extension-2.32.0.jar;wiremock-standalone-2.32.0.jar;wiremock-extensions-0.0.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar" com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.standalone.WireMockServerRunner --extensions "com.ninecookies.wiremock.extensions.CallbackSimulator,com.ninecookies.wiremock.extensions.JsonBodyTransformer,org.wiremock.webhooks.Webhooks" --port 7879 --verbose --local-response-templating --global-response-templating

It worked successfully !!! :)
