wiremock - Scenario: First response success, but second same request return 404 error code

Question

I need when do first request then get stub response code = 401.

When do second SAME request then get stub response code = 200.

To do this I use scenario.

Here my WireMock mapping in ONE file:

{
  "scenarioName": "Request transfer, 401",
  "requiredScenarioState": "Started",
  "newScenarioState": "Triggered Once",
  "request": {
    "method": "POST",
    "urlPattern": "/api/T2A"
  },
  "response": {
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "status": 401
  }
}

{
  "scenarioName": "Request transfer, 200",
  "requiredScenarioState": "Triggered Once",
  "newScenarioState": "Started",
  "request": {
    "method": "POST",
    "urlPattern": "/api/T2A"
  },
  "response": {
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "status": 200,
    "bodyFileName": "VB/back/request_transfer.json"
  }
}

When do first request I get stub response = 401.

Nice. But when do second same request WireMock return error code = 404.

                                               Request was not matched

Response:

2021-03-02 22:44:34.805 Received request to /not-matched with body 

Why second SAME request not return stub response status = 200?

Answer 1

Your scenarios have to have the same name. This is how WireMock identifies that the mapping belongs to that scenario.

You are getting a 404 because there is no mapping for the Scenario Request transfer, 401 and in the ScenarioState Triggered Once.

Changing the scenario names to Request transfer for both mappings would resolve your issue.
