Hi, I am currently working on generating a response like the following template:

"response": {
    "status": 200,
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "jsonBody": {
      "the_token": "some values",
      "token_type": "type 1",
      "generated_at": "{{now format='unix'}}",
      "expires_in": 3600
    },
    "transformers": ["response-template"]
  }

My issue is with the

generated_at

field: even though I am using

{{now format='unix'}}

, wiremock doesn't start and shows some java line error messages. I need it to be returned as an integer. Is there a way to achieve this directly within the

jsonBody

section? Please note that my actual response template is more complex than the example above, I simplified it here to highlight the issue. I came across this Stack Overflow discussion, which suggests using the

body

field instead of

jsonBody

, but that approach does not fit well with my use case. Is there a cleaner or simpler way to return

generated_at

as an integer in

jsonBody

? Thank you!

Unfortunately not. When you use jsonbody it will need to be valid json. Using templating without quotes makes it invalid json so this isn’t an option I am afraid.

Okay thank you @Lee Turner for the confirmation ✅
