Match query parameter value which contains "=" (equality) sign within the value

[Sunil Kumar]

Hi,

TLDR; I am not able to match a query parameter because it contains "=" sign within the value. is there a way to match that? Am I missing something basic?

My url looks something like this:

/my/relative/path?param1=some_thing&param1=condition1 AND condition2 OR condition3

Here param1 accepts a sql like query (not completely but something of that sort). Here each condition can be of following form:

<some_field> <operand> <some_value>

for ex, projectId = 12

I am mocking this request like this:

MockServer

.Given('/my/relative/path') 

.WithParam("param1", new RegexMatcher("*10001*"))

.RespondWith(Response .Create()

.WithStatusCode(200) 

.WithHeader("content-type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8") 

.WithBody("some body value"));

I have to mock based on projectIds from the conditions, for example: above mock is for projectId 10001. But this never matches. I have identified that if the query value doesn't contain equal to sign (ie. should not be  "=",  ">=",  "<=",  "!="), then it matches my request. But when it contains equal to sign, it returns me no matching mapping found.

Does any one know how do I resolve this?

Sorry, made a little mistake in the URL. it should be something like:

/my/relative/path?param1=some_thing&param2=condition1 AND condition2 OR condition3

And while mocking, it should be .WithParam("param2", new RegexMatcher("*10001*") )

Hi, your URL formation seems to be incorrect. /my/relative/path?param1=some_thing&param2=condition1 AND condition2 OR condition3

Could you please share the exact URL path and the condition you need to check? (you can remove the original data)

Sure,  I am using this API,  

GET /rest/api/2/search

It takes jql as a query parameter. jql could be any valid jql. I am using this jql: PROJECT=10005 AND ID >20154

I build this jql in the application logic (written in .Net) using StringBuilder. 

Actual API call snapshot from postman:

The URL seems to be fine. But when I mock this through WireMock, I think it might be resolving the parameters differently?

I am able to get this working with the JSON stubs

{

    "request" : {

"method": "GET",

    "urlPath": "/rest/api/2/search",

"queryParameters" : {

"jql" : {

"contains" : "10005"

}

}

},

"response": {

        "status": 200,

        "body": "Hello world!",

        "headers": {

            "Content-Type": "text/plain"

        }

    }

}

2 points to note here..

You need to relax your match ONLY to urlPath (not including the query params)

and then do a queryParameters match with whatever condition you want.. you can use 'equalTo', 'contains' etc.

Hey, I just found out that this is a bug in .NET Wiremock version 1.0.17 (which I am using). This was reported here: https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/issues/283 and got fixed in version 1.0.19. Thanks for providing the alternate approach.
