Originally created by @ilia-cy on GitHub (Sep 20, 2020).

We are using the Wiremock server in our CI integration tests mechanism by pre-defining routes and their expected responses, mainly for third party API mocks.

I was wondering if there is a way of verifying that specific requests were performed, but from the docs I could only find the stubs Verify approach (https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Stubbing#verify-interactions).
In our case the server runs as a standalone process and is only in charge of the pre defined responses.

My naive idea of how to do it is by saving a state on the server by running a callback when requested routes were called (again, pre-defined), and opening a designated route which is called by the tests which in turn checks the state and returns a response of whether the requsted route was called.

Another option, I guess, could be opening a designated route which will query the server logs with a specific path to check whether it was called.

Have I missed an out of the box solution for my problem, or is one is the above a possible solution?

Thanks!

Hello @ilia-cy, do you use WireMock.Net as a standalone exe file, web-app or docker instance?

Or do you just start a new WireMockService in your unit tests?

As a web app.
It's basically another service that is running among the other services that are communicating with each other, and is there to mock the external API calls.

Hello @ilia-cy.

I think the option you have is to use the admin interface https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Admin-API-Reference#__adminrequests and use the POST /__admin/requests/find method.

Please tell me if this works for you (because this requests/find functionality it's not very extended).

Thanks for the response @StefH
I was able to enable the admin interface and i'm able to get all requests via GET /__admin/requests.

For whoever is interested, to use the POST /__admin/requests/find API as you suggested, you'll need to search for properties in the RequestModel class.

For example, this will return all requests that were performed to this specific path.

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:5028/__admin/requests/find' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "path": "/path/to/search/for"
}

Thanks for the help!
