01/18/2023, 3:22 PMHi. I've been using WireMock for some testing and I had a requirement for a web service to keep looping round whenever it gets a 429 error until the target web site corrects itself and returns a 200. I was wondering if there was any way to simulate this in the WireMock JSON configuration files. I know there is an __admin/requests/count endpoint but that will just tell me the number of requests that have been made at a given time. I want to put a condition in the config file so that e.g. on the first 4 calls, the mock returns 429 but on subsequent calls it returns 200.

01/18/2023, 3:46 PMHi @Neal Hawman you can use scenarios to create a sequence of responses for a given request, so you could set it up to do 429, 429, 429, 200 or something like that.

01/19/2023, 9:21 AMBy setting the
newScenarioStateHere’s a full example of how to do what you’re looking for:
{
"mappings": [
{
"scenarioName": "rate-limiting",
"requiredScenarioState": "Started",
"newScenarioState": "error-1",
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"urlPath": "/something"
},
"response": {
"status": 429,
"body": "Too fast!"
}
},
{
"scenarioName": "rate-limiting",
"requiredScenarioState": "error-1",
"newScenarioState": "error-2",
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"urlPath": "/something"
},
"response": {
"status": 429,
"body": "Too fast!"
}
},
{
"scenarioName": "rate-limiting",
"requiredScenarioState": "error-2",
"newScenarioState": "success",
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"urlPath": "/something"
},
"response": {
"status": 429,
"body": "Too fast!"
}
},
{
"scenarioName": "rate-limiting",
"requiredScenarioState": "success",
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"urlPath": "/something"
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"body": "OK"
}
}
]
