:exclamation: Breaking changes

1.7.0

A breaking change is introduced which is related to System.Linq.Dynamic.Core DynamicLinq (CVE).

• The LinqMatcher is not allowed.
• The Handlebars.Net.Helpers.DynamicLinq package is not included anymore.

1.8.0

Some breaking changes are introduced in this version:

Handlebars.Net File-helper

By default, the internal Handlebars.Net File-helper is not allowed anymore because of potential security issues. To still enable this feature, you need to set the AllowedCustomHandlebarHelpers property to File in the HandlebarsSettings property in WireMockServerSettings.

Handlebars.Net Environment-helper

By default, the Handlebars.Net Environment-helper is not automatically allowed anymore because of potential security issues. To still enable this feature, you need to add the Environment category to the AllowedHandlebarsHelpers list-property in the HandlebarsSettings property in WireMockServerSettings.

:memo: Development

For the supported frameworks and build information, see this page.

:star: Stubbing

A core feature of WireMock.Net is the ability to return predefined HTTP responses for requests matching criteria. See Wiki : Stubbing.

:star: Request Matching

WireMock.Net support advanced request-matching logic, see Wiki : Request Matching.

:star: Response Templating

The response which is returned WireMock.Net can be changed using templating. This is described here Wiki : Response Templating.

:star: Admin API Reference

The WireMock admin API provides functionality to define the mappings via a http interface see Wiki : Admin API Reference.

:star: Using

WireMock.Net can be used in several ways:

UnitTesting

You can use your favorite test framework and use WireMock within your tests, see Wiki : UnitTesting.

Unit/Integration Testing using Testcontainers.DotNet

See Wiki : WireMock.Net.Testcontainers on how to build a WireMock.Net Docker container which can be used in Unit/Integration testing.

Unit/Integration Testing using an an Aspire Distributed Application

See Wiki : WireMock.Net.Aspire on how to use WireMock.Net as an Aspire Hosted application to do Unit/Integration testing.

As a dotnet tool

It's simple to install WireMock.Net as (global) dotnet tool, see Wiki : dotnet tool.

As standalone process / console application

This is quite straight forward to launch a mock server within a console application, see Wiki : Standalone Process.

As a Windows Service

You can also run WireMock.Net as a Windows Service, follow this WireMock-as-a-Windows-Service.

As a Web Job in Azure or application in IIS

See this link WireMock-as-a-(Azure)-Web-App

In a docker container

There is also a Linux and Windows-Nano container available at hub.docker.com. For more details see also Docker.
