Response body is missing in generated pact file when IBodyResponseBuilder.WithBody is used

[shack05]

Describe the bug

If I use the IBodyResponseBuilder.WithBody method to specify a response based on a string and then generate a pact file then the pact file will not include the response body.
If I use WithBodyAsJson the response body is defined as expected in the pact file.

Expected behavior:

The response body is defined in the pact file.

Test to reproduce

server
   .WithConsumer("Consumer1")
   .WithProvider("Provider1");

server
   .Given(Request.Create().WithPath("/foo").UsingGet())
   .WithTitle("Example1")
   .RespondWith(Response.Create()
      .WithStatusCode(200)
      .WithBody(@"{ foo: ""bar"" }"));

server.SavePact("...")

Expected pact:

{
   "consumer": {
      "name": "Consumer1"
   },
   "interactions": [
      {
         "providerState": "Example1",
         "request": {
            "method": "GET",
            "path": "/foo",
         },
         "response": {
            "body": {
               "foo": "bar"
            },
            "status": "200",
         } 
      }
   ],
   "provider": {
      "name": "Provider1"
   }
}

Actual pact:
The resulting pact file is:

{
   "consumer": {
      "name": "Consumer1"
   },
   "interactions": [
      {
         "providerState": "Example1",
         "request": {
            "method": "GET",
            "path": "/foo",
         },
         "response": {
            "status": "200",
         } 
      }
   ],
   "provider": {
      "name": "Provider1"
   }
}

The reason I am using WithBody rather than WithBodyAsJson is because, as far as I am aware, the json I am trying to describe cannot be declared as an anonymous object because some json property names start with a dollar sign and some property names include colons. Is there an alternative to using WithBody such as being able to configure a json serializer to be used in the WithBodyAsJson method?

Hello @shack05

I'll take a look at the code.

Can you try preview version 1.5.3-ci-16331 from MyGet?

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, although with the change you've made in the preview version I no longer have a use case for a separate serializer.

Can you try preview version 1.5.3-ci-16331 from MyGet?
Thanks, I can confirm the response is as expected for that preview version.
I did notice however that the request body is not defined in the pact file if I create a body.
I was using a JsonPartialMatcher to define the constraints for the body.
Are request bodies supported?

Can you open a new issue for this:

I'll merge the PR. For now just keep using the preview version, in some time a new official version will be released.
