Please see https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Using-WireMock-in-UnitTests

In your case

var joke = new ChuckNorrisJoke
{
};

_server
    .Given(Request.Create().WithPath("/jokes/random").UsingGet())
    .RespondWith(
      Response.Create()
        .WithStatusCode(200)
        .WithBodyAsJson(joke)
    );

Only useful references:

HttpClient and testing
https://adamstorr.azurewebsites.net/blog/test-your-dotnet-httpclient-based-strongly-typed-clients-like-a-boss

IHttpClientFactory vs HttpClient
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/implement-resilient-applications/use-httpclientfactory-to-implement-resilient-http-requests

YOU'RE USING HTTPCLIENT WRONG AND IT IS DESTABILIZING YOUR SOFTWARE

Thanks for these references, I know these, but this is not really applicable to WireMock.Net, it;s more applicable to the client code which calls the external api / calls WireMock.Net
