I have a request that needs to be routed to the actual live api because the api invokes some backend logic needed to continue a workflow.
However, I would still like to return a mocked response. Is there a straight forward way to have the request still be routed but return a mocked response?
I found a solution and sharing here incase anyone has the same issue. I simply send a request to the actual service using groovy, and have the groovy logic for this executed before the Routing logic. You can use event handlers for this code snippet but I've placed it along the Routing script box for better visibility.
def get = new URL("Your 'Route to' host here" + mockRequest.path)
conn = get.openConnection();
conn.requestMethod = 'GET'
def headers = mockRequest.getRequestHeaders()
conn.setRequestProperty("session_token", headers.get('session_token')[0])
conn.getResponseCode();
Thanks all for the help.
> So you have an endpoint you want to hit which will give you a perfectly valid response, but instead of the expected, valid response, you want to stub the response to be something different?
Correct!
There is some backend logic that gets triggered and invoked whenever the endpoint gets called. I need this logic to be triggered in order to proceed in a workflow I am testing. I don't need the actual response that is returned from the actual service though. I'll be using a mocked response (which is different from what the actual service returns, the response itself is a bunch of configuration data the UI consumes that drives certain UI behavior, I'm testing a different set of configuration than what the actual service usually returns).
