Hey all, when I put this in mappings:

{
  "request": {
    "method": "GET",
    "url": "/locations"
  },
  "response": {
    "status": 200,
    "body": {
      "content": "yes"
    }
  }
}

Starting WireMock fails after:

Exception in thread "main" com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.standalone.MappingFileException: Error loading file /home/wiremock/./mappings/locatons.json:

When

body

is just a string, Wiremock is starting. Is there a way to find out what exactly is the problem?

body

is just for strings. If you want to specify the body as json as you are doing in your example, you need to use

jsonBody

Thanks!
