WireMockInspect is a cross-platform UI app that facilitates WireMock troubleshooting.

dotnet tool install WireMockInspector --global --no-cache --ignore-failed-sources

After installation, you can easily run the app by executing wiremockinspector command.

dotnet tool update WireMockInspector --global --no-cache --ignore-failed-sources

Features

• Presents a list of requests received by WireMock server.
• Combines request data with associated mapping.
• Presents a list of all available mappings with the definition
• Generate C# code for defining selected mappings
• WireMockServer settings editor
• Presents a list of all available scenarios along the details
• Visualise Scenario flow and current state

Using WireMockInspector from test code

1. Install WireMockInspector dotnet tool

   dotnet tool install WireMockInspector --global --no-cache --ignore-failed-sources

2. Install WireMock.Net.Extensions.WireMockInspector nuget packet to your test project

3. Example usage in the code

   using var wireMock = WireMockServer.Start(new WireMockServerSettings()
   					{
   						StartAdminInterface = true,
   						Port = 9095
   					});
   
   // Call Inspect() run WireMockInspect and attach it to the current WireMockServer instance
   wireMock.Inspect();

   If you don't have an access to WireMockServer instance then you can call the extension method directly:

   WireMockServerExtensions.Inspect("http://localhost:9095");

Code generator

WireMockInspect offers two methods for generating C# code to create mappings, which is particularly useful when used in conjunction with the WireMock.NET proxy feature. The first method is accessible via the 'Code' tab for a selected mapping. Here, you can view the code provided by the endpoint http://localhost:9095/__admin/mappings/code/MAPPING_GUID:

The second method involves using the 'Code' tab for a selected request.

This approach employs a completely different mechanism for code generation. You can customize the generated code by using a custom liquid template:

1. Download the default template and save it to your directory at %LOCALAPPDATA%\WireMockInspector\templates\ .
2. Rename the file appropiately to reflect its purpose
3. Modify the template according to your requirements.
4. In the WireMockInspector, under the 'Show Options' section on the 'Code' tab, select your customized template from combo box.
