I am mocking an endpoint /mark-item, which takes a numeric id. when id=666, I want the endpoint to return 500, otherwise all other requests to that endpoint should return 200.

This is what my static mapping file currently looks like:

[{
    "Guid": "68ae335b-5d79-42dc-8ca7-236280ab9111",
    "Priority": 100,
    "Request": {
        "Path": {
            "Matchers": [
                {
                    "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                    "Pattern": "/mark-item",
                    "IgnoreCase": true
                }
            ]
        },
        "Methods": ["post", "get"],
        "Params": [
            {
                "Name": "id",
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "ExactMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "666"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    "Response": {
        "StatusCode": 500,
        "BodyAsJson": {},
        "Headers": {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
        }
    }
},
{
    "Guid": "68ae335b-5d79-42dc-8ca7-236280ab9111",
    "Priority": 1,
    "Request": {
        "Path": {
            "Matchers": [
                {
                    "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                    "Pattern": "/mark-item",
                    "IgnoreCase": true
                }
            ]
        },
        "Methods": ["post", "get"],
        "Params": [
            {
                "Name": "id",
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "*"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    "Response": {
        "StatusCode": 200,
        "BodyAsJson": {},
        "Headers": {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
        }
    }
}]

When I remove the success stub, a request to http://localhost:49223/mark-item?id=66 returns 404 and a request to http://localhost:49223/mark-item?id=666 returns 500. But when I add in the success stub, both requests return 200. I have tried flipping the priorities, but that also makes no difference.
What is the correct way to do this? Thank you!

I think you should switch the priority.

-> The priority. (A low value means higher priority.)

Can you try that?

I've tried the priority values flipped, and it does not appear to affect anything.

Further testing shows that the WildcardMatcher for * for the id param actually fails requests with 404 no mapping, so I removed that clause entirely. New file is as follows:

[{
    "Guid": "68ae335b-5d79-42dc-8ca7-236280ab9111",
    "Priority": 1,
    "Request": {

                    "IgnoreCase": true
                }
            ]
        },
        "Methods": ["post", "get"],
        "Params": [
            {
                "Name": "id",

                    {
                        "Name": "ExactMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "666"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    "Response": {
        "StatusCode": 500,
        "BodyAsJson": {},
        "Headers": {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
        }
    }
},
{
    "Guid": "68ae335b-5d79-42dc-8ca7-236280ab9111",
    "Priority": 100,
    "Request": {
        "Path": {
            "Matchers": [
                {
                    "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                    "Pattern": "/mark-item",
                    "IgnoreCase": true
                }
            ]
        },

            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
        }
    }
}]

Hitting the following urls in my web browser give the following:
http://localhost:49159/mark-item?id=666 -> Return 200 (Want it to return 500)
http://localhost:49159/mark-item?id=4 -> Return 200 (Correct)

Oh god I'm an idiot. The guids are matching, so the last configuration is overriding the first one. Sorry about that!

Ah. I also missed duplicate GUID.

Maybe WireMock.Net should throw exception when duplicate GUiD is detected ..
