I'm currently trying to build a contract like this:
Contract.make {
description("""
Represents a successful scenario of getting an account
```
given:
account id
when:
api request for an account
then:
return account
```
""")
request {
method 'GET'
urlPath(regex("/api/v1/account/" + anyNumber()))
}
response {
status 200
body(
accountNumber: value(anyNumber())
)
headers {
contentType(applicationJson())
}
}
}
But getting an exception
cloud:spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin:4.0.0:generateTests failed: java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal repetition near index 34
[ERROR] /api/v1/account/ClientDslProperty{
[ERROR] clientValue=-?(\d*\.\d+|\d+),
[ERROR] serverValue=-90366052}
[ERROR] ^
If reading the documentation here this should be possible.
If I use hardcoded values it works e.g.
Contract.make {
description("""
Represents a successful scenario of getting an account
```
given:
account id
when:
api request for an account
then:
return account
```
""")
request {
method 'GET'
url '/api/v1/account/1234'
}
response {
status 200
body("""
{
"accountNumber": "${value(1234)}"
}
""")
headers {
contentType(applicationJson())
}
}
}
Can someome help me out please? Thanks a lot in advance
Spring Cloud Contract is new to me, but reading the documentation (https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-contract/reference/html/project-features.html#contract-dsl-regex) suggests that when you define the request with a regex, you should be specifying that it's for the consumer
side. Also, anyNumber()
doesn't return a simple string that can be concatenated into a regex pattern like you've done. I think you want something like this:
url value(consumer(regex('/api/v1/account/\d+')))
Then, to reference the number in your response section, you probably want something like:
body(
accountNumber: fromRequest().path(3)
)
(this is from the section of documentation that you linked to in your question)
