hi, I'm trying to return a dynamic response (

{{now}}

) using

docker

image not

jar

Hello. WireMock Standalone and WireMock Java have the same behavior for configuration files

I thought there was extra config needed since steep #1 here is defining transformer Java class: https://myagilequality.wordpress.com/2018/01/16/dynamically-change-a-mocked-response-using-wiremock/

Didn't see a need in the custom transformer above. If you need it, it would need to be packaged as an extension and added to the standalone instance

so what is the issue? I also updated the image to use the latest, here is the implementation and response: stub:

{
  "name": "dates-demo",
  "request": {
    "url": "/dates-demo",
    "method": "GET"
  },
  "response": {
    "status": 200,
    "transformers": [
      "response-template"
    ],
    "jsonBody": {
      "id": "{{randomInt}}",
      "name": "dates-demo",
      "creationDate": "{{now}}"
    }
  }
}

response:

{
  "id": "{{randomInt}}",
  "name": "dates-demo",
  "creationDate": "{{now}}"
}

ATM I do not understand the issue. You asked how to do it, but there is no statement that something is broken or logs/versions 🙂

the issue is I expect

id

to be an actual random number e.g.: 1, 2, 3.. and the same for the

creationDate

to be something like:

023-09-26T09:42:44.727Z

not

{{randomInt}} {{now}}

It is very strange. This is what I see:

{
  "id": "-1752793986",
  "name": "dates-demo",
  "creationDate": "2023-09-26T09:52:22Z"
}

port:                         8080
enable-browser-proxying:      false
disable-banner:               false
no-request-journal:           false
verbose:                      false

I see verbose as the only difference and

extensions

as well

No extensions ?

No

Can you try adding the

--global-response-templating

in the

entrypoint

as shown at the bottom of this page - https://wiremock.org/docs/standalone/docker/

It works, without having

docker-entrypoint.sh

is that okay or I need to include?

I think that should be OK. Glad it works
