Originally created by @markdebruijne on GitHub (Aug 12, 2018).

  • Configure ReadStaticMappings(myMappingsFolder) to import request matchers from static .json files
  • Also Configure FileWatchers for that folder: WatchStaticMappings(myMappingsFolder)
  • Configure one of those requests to respond based on a BodyAsFile
"Response": {
    "StatusCode": 200,
    "BodyAsFile": "mappings/myResponseBodyFile.json"
  }
  • Run the application, which will monitor all files in that folder
  • Update myResponseBodyFile.json

Result: Unhandled exception occurs

System.ArgumentNullException
  HResult=0x80004003
  Message=Value cannot be null.

It breaks because the .json file only contains the Body of the response, while the deserializer is expecting both a Request: {} and Response: {} element

This feels like a bug because I want to have my request .json and responseBody .json stored close together on my file system. Is there another approach to store them differently which is compatible with the file watchers. I do want (during development) want to be able to watch both.

@StefH commented on GitHub (Aug 12, 2018):

The ReadStaticMappings and WatchStaticMappings are meant to be used for the complete mappings. A complete mapping contains both the request and the response. For an example, see https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Admin-API-Reference#__adminmappings-1.

If you want to use BodyAsFile, you could just try to use a file with another extension, like .response. That kind of files will not be read or watched.

Note that you probably need to set caching to false, (BodyAsFileIsCached = false) for that specific mapping.
