So, I'm writing a mock definition in JSON (for a standalone WireMock instance), and I'm looking to use response templating to echo the value of an element

quantity

from the request body in a response. Using

"quantity": "{{jsonPath request.body '$.quantity'}}"

it works, but that converts the element in the response to a string, not an integer. If I remove the double quotes, WireMock tells me my JSON is invalid. How can I easily return request body integer values as an integer in the response?

Are you using

jsonBody

to return your response body? If so you might have to change that to

body

That works, thanks @Lee Turner. Ugly, but it does the trick for now.

Yeah, there isn't a nice way to do this with non string items as far as I know

No worries, it's good to know. This one's 'only' for the purpose of having something to have a crack at in an API security testing workshop anyway
