Hello folks, I'm knew to wiremock and I have a small issue doubt: I'm creating a mock this way, however the body returned is in string format even having the header content-type as json. I'm attaching mock creation and response received, can someone advice?

Hi, I think this is because you have created the response body as a string. If you use the

body

element for the response you have to wrap it in quotes and escape the string:

"body": "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}"

For the

json

responses the

jsonBody

is more convenient because you don't have to do that:

"jsonBody": {"foo": "bar"}

thanks for sharing @Lee Turner, I'm taking a look into "arbitrary_json":, didn't have success yet but need to try more.

No worries. I think the arbitary_json was just an example in the docs. Nothing special for what you are trying to do.

omg, is it? lol. anyways, I tried now un-escaped. It didn't work 😞

Can you share your full mapping file so I can see what is happening ?

let me clean up some stuff and reproduce, I will share shortly

Awesome. Glad you got it working.
