Hi there! I’m trying to follow the WireMock/Testcontainers guide at https://wiremock.org/docs/solutions/testcontainers/ and can’t seem to get the container running. Not sure if maybe I’m just doing things wrong. When I use

private final WireMockContainer wireMockContainer =
		new WireMockContainer(DockerImageName.parse("wiremock/wiremock:2.35.0-1"))
			.withMapping("twitter",  "wiremock/mappings/twitter.com-current-stubs.json");

The container never starts up

2023-07-19 14:38:13,104 INFO  [org.tes.con.wai.str.HttpWaitStrategy] (pool-2-thread-1) /goofy_ishizaka: Waiting for 60 seconds for URL: <http://localhost:58970/__admin/mappings> (where port 58970 maps to container port 8080)
2023-07-19 14:39:13,126 ERROR [tc.wir.35.0-1] (pool-2-thread-1) Could not start container: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Wait strategy failed. Container exited with code 1

If I remove the

.withMapping

then it works fine. Here’s a screenshot of my filesystem layout:

Hi Eric, haven’t used this myself but from looking at the wiremock test containers code I am wondering whether the

.withMapping(name, json)

method means you need to pass the contents of the json file as a

String

rather than the path to the json file ?

Thanks Lee for the reply. That’s not what I see on https://wiremock.org/docs/solutions/testcontainers/

That

.withMapping

method is different from the one you are using though I think ?

i first tried

private final WireMockContainer wireMockContainer =
		new WireMockContainer(DockerImageName.parse("wiremock/wiremock:2.35.0-1"))
			.withMapping("twitter",  "wiremock/mappings/twitter.com-current-stubs.json");

Maybe I am reading this wrong. In the wiremock docs, they are using

public WireMockContainer withMapping(String name, Class<?> resource, String resourceJson)

.

i got some much different error when i used the signature with the

Class

There is an example of using the

Class

in the repo here - https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-testcontainers-java/blob/main/src/test/java/org/wiremock/integrations/testcontainers/WireMockContainerTest.java#L33

ahhhh let me try that

Never used it myself so running a little blind here but hopefully that might work

yeah that works

Awesome. Maybe try loading the json file from the classpath into a string and passing the whole json string into the

withMapping(String name, String json)

yeah but now i’m dealing with handling all the checked exceptions in the

Files

&

Paths

classes 🙂 Which doesn’t work if it want to set it up as a class-level attribute 🙂

😀

so i’ll take the small win

Kotlin ?

ha!

Ha. Haven’t used that for ages now.

Lombok & I don’t get along

I had the same relationship with Lombok. We parted ways a long time ago.

now if it only had a verification API 🙂

🤔

@Eric Deandrea I guess it is the same as https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-testcontainers-java/issues/61 . It also reminds me that we should publish Javadoc...
