Hi Tom, Team

Is there a way to ignore properties with null values in when matching null request?

2018-01-08 17:05:47.539 [qtp409598930-57] ERROR WireMock -

Request was not matched

=======================

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Closest stub | Request |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|

POST | POST

/person/ | /person/

|

{ | { <<<<< Body does not match

"name" : { | "name" : {

"family-name" : "Smith", | "family-name" : "Smith"

"given-name" : null | }

} | }

} |

I suggest removing the given-name field entirely from your stub, and switching to loose JSON matching i.e.

equalToJson("{ ... }", true, true)

or in JSON:

{
      "equalToJson" : "{ ...  }",
      "ignoreArrayOrder" : true,
      "ignoreExtraElements" : true
}

This will match the JSON on the right in your example, and will also match if given-name is present.

Hi,

I have the same issue here. But what I need is that if given-name does have a value rather than null, it would fail the matching.

equalToJson("{ ... }", true, true) does not fail the matching if given-name has a value.
