Support sending responses from a file about mountebank HOT 7 CLOSED

@bbyars so, I have some JSON files that to be included in the body response, do you have a temporary solution for this?

from mountebank.

Hi Chris,
Can you provide some context? Are you aiming to return the content of the
file as the JSON response? If so, then can you use the client code calling
mountebank to read the file and pass the content as the body field of the
response?

@bbyars you're right. I'm currently using shell script to read JSON content from a file, and trying to "inject" the JSON data in the body response field, when I'm calling POST http://localhost:2525.

But I'm not proficient to this shell script thing, so I thought it would be nice for mountebank to allow "attach" a JSON file as part of the body response

Got it. In that case, it sounds like setting an environment variable to
cat contents.json and interpolating that variable in the body response
field will work.

@bbyars thanks, finally got it work

schema_compact.json

{\"customer\":{\"questions\":[{\"label\":\"First Name\",\"required\":false}]}}

data_compact.json

{}

script.sh

echo $'delete all existing stubs\n'
curl --request 'DELETE' http://localhost:2525/imposters
echo $'\n'

echo $'import stubs\n'
SCHEMA_JSON=$(cat schema_compact.json)
DATA_JSON=$(cat data_compact.json)
CURL_DATA='{"port":6677,"protocol":"http","stubs":[{"responses":[{"is":{"statusCode":406}}],"predicates":[{"not":{"equals":{"headers":{"Accept":"application/json"}}}}]},{"responses":[{"is":{"statusCode":200,"headers":{"content-type":"application/json"},"body":'"$SCHEMA_JSON"'}}],"predicates":[{"equals":{"method":"GET","path":"/schema"}}]},{"responses":[{"is":{"statusCode":200,"headers":{"content-type":"application/json"},"body":"'"$DATA_JSON"'"}}],"predicates":[{"equals":{"method":"GET","path":"/data"}}]}]}'

curl -i \
--request 'POST' \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type:application/json" \
--data "$CURL_DATA" \
http://localhost:2525/imposters
echo $'\n'

sorry, figured out, I should use:

curl -i
--request 'POST'
-H "Accept: application/json"
-H "Content-Type:application/json"
--data "$CURL_DATA" \http://localhost:2525/impostersecho $'\n'
