Nice work. Been using wiremock for some time, and I'm glad to see it getting some love on your channel. I started pointing my devs to your channel as you're constantly posting useful content and do a good job at keeping on top of current features and libs. Good work, man. Thanks.
Great demo Nick! I've been using it for a couple of years and when building micro-services with multiple externals APIs it's very helpful. One thing that maybe you could expand on this topic is how to do recordings and playbacks, I've never tried that because its not that hard to setup manual requests/responses, but maybe you have experience on this.
I would be much happier if you would have shown a more real life case scenario for wiremock i.e writing request /endpoints and response contracts pair in a separate external text file rather than building them from precompiled fluent syntax. Still a good video to get started and see internal workings of wiremock web service espeically its configuration via fixtures
Hi @Nick, great video, something that is very useful for testing!!! Is it possible or how can I have access to this repo or is there a video about de Fixture that you use to create a User in the database? I was searching in your channel if you have a video with title that contains "Fixture" but I don't really know if you have one that explains how to create fixtures. Thanks!!!
Or is it used for creating data with random data? I thoroughly inspect this video and see that you use AutoFixer library. Is it used for making objects with random data? I know the concept of factories in Laravel, that is a feature to create random objects to insert in database
Wire mock does look like a great tool. Maybe I am missing something here, why not just use the Microsoft TestServer where in the client you can use Moq to mock any external dependencies/responses?
Correct, in the example code there is an interface (Refit) to connect to GitHub. So in this case, it was also possible to completely stub this using Mock. However in case the client, which connects to a 3rd party system, cannot be mocked, or if you want to run a more integration-test like test, then WireMock.Net can be used to mock the request with certain responses from that 3rd Party system. Also note that you can also use response templating, which enables you to create not just static responses but also dynamic response based on properties from the request.
