I can't for the love of coding figure out how to successfully match specific requests that contain DateTime objects in the body.

Our setup:
We have a Web API that uses .NET 9. We have underlying dependencies to other Web APIs that I am trying to mock/fake with WireMock.

In my client code:

        //myDate is a DateTime with the correct time "2025-05-05"
        var request = new { SomeName = myName, SomeDate = myDate };
        //For debugging purposes
        var jsonString = JsonSerializer.Serialize(request, new JsonSerializerOptions { PropertyNamingPolicy =                 JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase });
        var response = await HttpClient.PutAsJsonAsync(urlPath, request);

In my Custom Endpoint setup:

        var requestBody = new
        {
            SomeName  = "Test",
            SomeDate = DateTime.Parse("2025-05-05")
        };

        if (requestBody is not null)
            requestBuilder.WithBodyAsJson(requestBody);

        //For debugging purposes
        var jsonString = JsonSerializer.Serialize(requestBody, new JsonSerializerOptions { PropertyNamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase });

        _server
            .Given(requestBuilder)
            .RespondWith(Response.Create()
                .WithBodyAsJson(responseBody!)
                .WithHeaders(new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    { "content-type", "application/json; charset=utf-8" }
                })
                .WithStatusCode(responseStatusCode));

The two different jsonString variables have identical values in both places. When my client makes the call though it gets back a 404 if I set the requestBody. If I do not set the requestBody I get an answer back from WireMock as expected.

What am I missing?

When my client makes the call though it gets back a `404` if I set the `requestBody`. If I do not set the `requestBody` I get an answer back from WireMock as expected. What am I missing?

No, I didn't see that before but when I try to execute the request to http://localhost:62137/__admin/requests (the WireMock instance while running my integration tests) I get a 404 with Body "Status": "No matching mapping found"

In order to access the __admin, you need to start the WireMock.Net server with the admin interface enabled.

Note that the matching details is also visible in the logging (I thjnk).

I got it to work by using a .ToString() with CultureInfo.CurrentCulture on the expected DateTime.
It seems that the matching criterion for dates is much stricter than the matching dotnet does for the endpoint parameters when passing a DateTime parameter both as a body and as a query parameter. The dotnet endpoint seem to understand the given date without any culture conversion needed.
