For a pattern with regex special character (e.g. brackets) ExactMather works unexpectedly.

I'm having this simple mapping:

[
    {
        "Guid": "f781912f-fc5d-4f59-ad9a-e7e8847ab197",
        "Scenario": "Test For 123",
        "SetStateTo": "1",
        "Request": {
            "Path": {
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "*/ChangePortfolio",
                        "IgnoreCase": false
                    }
                ]
            },
            "Url": {
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "ExactMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "http://localhost:9999/Transactions(123)/ChangePortfolio"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "Methods": [
                "POST"
            ],
            "Body": {
                "Matcher": {
                    "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                    "Pattern": "*",
                    "IgnoreCase": false
                }
            }
        },
        "Response": {
            "StatusCode": 200,
            "Headers": {
                "test": "test"
            }
        }
    }
]

And with simple post request http://localhost:9999/Transactions(123)/ChangePortfolio having 'No matching mapping found' message.

When I try to escape '(' symbol using \ preceding symbol I receive this mapping:

[
    {
        "Guid": "2ad5f360-4e79-47e4-a2f7-51dfca7a3511",
        "Scenario": "Test For 123",
        "SetStateTo": "1",
        "Request": {
            "Path": {
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "*/ChangePortfolio",
                        "IgnoreCase": false
                    }
                ]
            },
            "Url": {
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "ExactMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "http://localhost:9999/Transactions\\(123\\)/ChangePortfolio"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "Methods": [
                "POST"
            ],
            "Body": {
                "Matcher": {
                    "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                    "Pattern": "*",
                    "IgnoreCase": false
                }
            }
        },
        "Response": {
            "StatusCode": 200,
            "Headers": {
                "test": "test"
            }
        }
    }
]

Same for

"Url": {
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "ExactMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "http://localhost:9999/Transactions~123~/ChangePortfolio"
                    }
                ]
            }

and http://localhost:9999/Transactions123/ChangePortfolio

How should I escape symbols like brackets, !, ~ etc?

  1. No need to escape these characters.

  2. I see you are using Path and Url matchers, it's best to just use one. And make sure the http://localhost:9999 is the location where WireMock.Net is running.

  3. If you want more details, you can call http://{{wm_hostname}}/__admin/requests to see all requests + the RequestMatchResult which shows you which items do match. Maybe in your case the body is not matched correctly?

  1. Well, I got it that I don't need to escape character.

  2. Not sure what the issue using both of them. I know that it's sort of overkill but nevertheless. And yeah, http://localhost:9999 is the hostname for my wiremock.

  3. I'll check but in my case body matcher is a wildcaard one with * as value. Additionally when I use url without brackets smth like http://localhost:9999/Transactions123/ChangePortfolio it works.

  1. If you can, please post the **RequestMatchResult ** here.

And which application do you use to post the request ? (I did test using Postman)

And the match result is like:

"RequestMatchResult": {
      "TotalScore": 3.0,
      "TotalNumber": 3,
      "IsPerfectMatch": true,
      "AverageTotalScore": 1.0,
      "MatchDetails": [
        {
          "Name": "PathMatcher",
          "Score": 1.0
        },
        {
          "Name": "MethodMatcher",
          "Score": 1.0
        },
        {
          "Name": "BodyMatcher",
          "Score": 1.0
        }
      ]
    }

It seems that only the PathMatcher is used, this could be business logic from WireMock...

Well,

Firstly I tried /__admin/requests for url without brackets (and yes, I've use Postman also for tests):

What you also can do is allow-partial mapping, then the best match will be returned, so when looking at the requests you can maybe see more why a mapping doe snot match 100%

Ah, my bad. I was using 4.5.2.

Sounds fair for partial mapping to be used. Will try.

Thank you @StefH for your input btw.

I need to debug some more, but if .net 4.5.2 and .net core behave different on the Url property, I have to fix this.

Maybe fixed, can you please test version WireMock.Net.1.0.38-ci-12272.nupkg from MyGet?
