Unit Test Wiremock Rest Api

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to create unit tests for REST APIs using WireMock, a flexible mocking framework. It allows developers to simulate HTTP endpoints and verify interactions between client applications and backend services without requiring a live server.

When to use it

• You need to test API clients against predefined responses during development.
• Your application depends on external APIs that are not yet available or stable.
• You want to isolate unit tests from network dependencies for faster, more reliable testing.

Key capabilities

• Generate WireMock stubs for REST endpoints based on API specifications.
• Simulate HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and status codes.
• Validate expected request patterns and responses during test execution.

Example prompts

• "Create a WireMock test for a GET /users endpoint that returns a 200 status with sample user data."
• "Set up a mock API to handle POST /login requests with a 401 response when invalid credentials are provided."
• "Generate unit tests for a REST API using WireMock, based on the OpenAPI specification provided."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure your test environment includes WireMock running locally or via Docker.
• Use this skill in conjunction with testing frameworks like JUnit or TestNG for full integration.
