Multiple Mock Data Files

Multiple Mock Data Files

The adapter has a hierarchy for determining which response to use for a request.

Mock data hierarchy:

1. Match data in the body.
2. Match data in a path variable.
3. Match data in a query or option.
4. If there is a body (withBody).
5. If there is a path variable (withPathv#).
6. If there is a query (withQuery).
7. If there is an option (withOption).
8. Otherwise default.

Note: The old mock data format will still work since #5-8 are effectively the old way.

• On a call with a body { name: ‘abc123’ } the a.json would be returned.
• On a call with a path variable – http://system:80/path/ver/addresses/error the b.json would be returned.
• On a call with a query variable – http://system:80/path/ver/addresses?name=happy the c.json would be returned.

Example: Action.json

    {
      "name": "getIP",
      "entitypath": "{base_path}/{version}/addresses/{pathv1}?{query}",
	….
      "responseObjects": [
        {
          "type": "name-abc123",
          "key": "",
          "mockFile": "a.json"
        },
        {
          "type": "error",
          "key": "",
          "mockFile": "b.json"
        },
        {
          "type": "name=happy",
          "key": "",
          "mockFile": "c.json"
        }
      ]
    },

• Can still support different mock data based on the URI structure:
  • path variables (withPathv#)
  • query (withQuery)
• On a call with a path variable – http://system:80/path/ver/addresses/abc123 the y.json is returned
• On a call with a query variable – http://system:80/path/ver/addresses?name=abc123 the z.json is returned.
• Otherwise the x.json is returned.

Example: Action.json

    {
      "name": "getIP",
      "entitypath": "{base_path}/{version}/addresses/{pathv1}?{query}",
	….
      "responseObjects": [
        {
          "type": "default",
          "key": "",
          "mockFile": "x.json"
        },
        {
          "type": "withPathv1",
          "key": "",
          "mockFile": "y.json"
        },
        {
          "type": "withQuery",
          "key": "",
          "mockFile": "z.json"
        }
      ]
    },
