WireMock

WireMock​

WireMock is a library which provides HTTP response stubbing, matchable on URL, header and body content patterns etc.

Kotest provides a module kotest-extensions-wiremock for integration with wiremock.

To begin, add the following dependency to your build:

io.kotest.extensions:kotest-extensions-wiremock:{version}

Having this dependency in the classpath brings WireMockListener into scope. WireMockListener manages the lifecycle of a WireMockServer during your test.

For example:


class SomeTest : FunSpec({
val customerServiceServer = WireMockServer(9000)
listener(WireMockListener(customerServiceServer, ListenerMode.PER_SPEC))

test("let me get customer information") {
customerServiceServer.stubFor(
WireMock.get(WireMock.urlEqualTo("/customers/123"))
.willReturn(WireMock.ok())
)

val connection = URL("http://localhost:9000/customers/123").openConnection() as HttpURLConnection
connection.responseCode shouldBe 200
}

// ------------OTHER TEST BELOW ----------------
})

In above example we created an instance of WireMockListener which starts a WireMockServer before running the tests in the spec and stops it after completing all the tests in the spec.

You can use WireMockServer.perSpec(customerServiceServer) to achieve same result.


class SomeTest : FunSpec({
val customerServiceServer = WireMockServer(9000)
listener(WireMockListener(customerServiceServer, ListenerMode.PER_TEST))

test("let me get customer information") {
customerServiceServer.stubFor(
WireMock.get(WireMock.urlEqualTo("/customers/123"))
.willReturn(WireMock.ok())
)

val connection = URL("http://localhost:9000/customers/123").openConnection() as HttpURLConnection
connection.responseCode shouldBe 200
}

// ------------OTHER TEST BELOW ----------------
})

In above example we created an instance of WireMockListener which starts a WireMockServer before running every test in the spec and stops it after completing every test in the spec. You can use WireMockServer.perTest(customerServiceServer) to achieve same result.
