WireMock with GUI

Extends WireMock with a graphical user interface

Key Features

- Separated view improve readability
- Test mapping
  - Allows to quickly test the mapping by sending http requests.
Matched

- Copy cUrl
- Copy request to clipboard for new mapping creation
- Copy SOAP to clipboard which understands not matched SOAP requests and help during creation
- Reset Journal
StateMachine (experimental)
- A paginated list of all mappings which are part of a scenario
- States are calculated automatically
- Mappings are represented as links
- Button on links allows to show mapping details
Record/playback of stubs

Auto refresh when mappings or requests changes

Where do I find the GUI?

The gui is part of the Wiremock admin interface. Therefore, just open the following URL:

<Wiremock baseUrl>/__admin/webapp

Folder view

Since 2.32.0.2

For mappings the folder view is selected by default. It is still possible to switch easier list view as well.

If mappings are stored on a drive in different directories this structure will be extracted and mappings metadata will be updated so that wiremock-gui can show the same folder structure.

You can also manually update mapping metadata to create a structure. This helps if you do not store mappings but load them via http, or if you do not want to place the file in different directories.

metadata structure:

{
     "metadata": {
          "wiremock-gui": {
               "folder": "/some/folder"
          }
     }
}

will create following structure in gui:

In general functions when editing a mapping you can add the metadata structure via "add Folder".

drag-and-drop

drag-and-drop into folders is currently not supported. It is a more complex topic, as it is currently not possible to sort mappings.

There is a branch on which drag-and-drop is implemented. So if you are interested you can test it there. Due to the mentioned not supported sorting mappings might jump to a different location after reloading.

Test mappings

Since 2.32.0.2

Allows testing of mappings via an HTTP request. This feature tries to extract url and content-type from mapping information. The prefilled data highly depends on how the request in the mapping is defined.

When executing the request the response is shown and also a badge which indicates if the selected mapping answered the request. If this is the case the following is shown:

If another mapping answered the request no match is shown and a link to the mapping which answered the request:

Keep in mind this feature will never be as powerful as tools like Postman, Insomnia, etc. So the overall idea is to provide a quick way to test if your mapping is properly setup.

Features except gui

Custom Handlebars helpers

Name	Parameter	Description
JWT	algo	Signing algorithm. Check jsonwebtoken for SignatureAlgorithm. E.g. RS256
	key	Base64 encoded key to use. Kind of key depends on used algo
	claims	a json string which describes the claims to use. Must not be null in case no payload is defined
	payload	a json string which contains the content of the jwt. Must not be null in case no claims are defined
	header	a json string which contains the header to use

Docker

Breaking Change > 2.35.0.1

The docker images are based on the official wiremock images now. Therefore, check the official guide regarding configuration etc. The docker compose example below is alread updated.

Docker Compose

A short example of a compose file

version: "3"
services:
  wiremock:
    image: "holomekc/wiremock-gui:latest"
    container_name: my_wiremock
    ports:
      # This is just an example of a port mapping
      - "8088:8089"
      - "8084:8088"
    command:
      "--port 8089 --https-port 8088 --max-request-journal 1000 --local-response-templating"
    volumes:
      - ./root-dir:/home/wiremock
    environment:
      WIREMOCK_MY_VAR: "systemValue response templating feature"

Docker Images

Docker Hub

In the past only alpine images existed. New versioning concept is:

holomekc/wiremock-gui:{version} or holomekc/wiremock-gui:latest

linux/amd64
linux/arm/v7
linux/arm64

holomekc/wiremock-gui:{version}-alpine or holomekc/wiremock-gui:latest-alpine

linux/amd64

Mac M[1-2]

In case you want to use this Docker image on an Apple Mac with M1 or M2 processor you cannot use the alpine image. The docker images are baces on the official wiremock docker images. I only replace the build jar file in the image. The official wiremock docker images uses eclipse-temurin as base image for the alpine and none alpine version. Sadly the alpine version of temurin does not support arm yet. See: adoptium/containers#158. Theoretically, I could switch to a different base image, but this would create increased maintenance. I hope temurin is updated soon-ish. Please use the none alpine version on a Mac for the time being.
