How to mock a all sub paths?

[eloo]

Hi,

i've just found your project and really like the simplicity. But i have trouble to mock responses for requests with unknown paths. For example i want to mock the following requests:

- /api
- /api/23
- /something/...

and so on.. and i have tried a pattern like this

...
"endpoint": "/{*}"
...

But this would only match /api and not its sub-paths. So is this currently possible? Something like a "catch-all" endpoint?

Thanks

Hi @eloo,

Killgrave relies on gorilla/mux matcher to route requests. More specifically, it uses HandleFunc(path string, f func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)), so based on this StackOverflow thread, I guess it's not possible nowadays.

Bit of annoying, I know, but I hope the amount of subpaths your API supports is not infinite (nor very large), so I guess defining multiple paths (as suggested on the aforementioned SO question) would do the work.

I guess in the future we could add a specific edge case to handle some specific wildcard and use HandlerFunc(f func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)) with a pre-defined "match all" function for those cases.

Please, open a new issue specific issue to request that, with all the details and feel free to contribute with the corresponding pull requests, you're more than welcome 😛

Thanks!!!

Hi @joanlopez thanks for the clarification. But sadly the amount of subpaths is not directly know or hard to find out because in our case we want to mock/block a whole infrastructure behind killgrave ;)

So if you could add this edge case function i guess it would be useful for others as well.

Further i have found that the chi-router is capable of wildcards. Not sure about the other feature you use currently in gorrila/mux but maybe challanging gorrila/mux here could be an option?

Thanks

+1 for this.. its a fairly common feature.. just need a 200 response

Great, thanks for letting us now! We'll increase the priority of this issue and start to work on it sooner than later! 👌🏻

Hi. I had the same issue for creating wild paths.

So I forked this project and made a change.

Now the wild path is supported using this project. You need to set the value of endpoint to "/" to handle all incoming request from any path.

Remember that you should add your explicit route first and then add your wild paths. For example if you have a explicit path called "api/hello" and a wild card path, you should define your "/api/hello" first and then define your wild card path.

Also you can change the endpoint value from "/" to anything you want, if you think the "/" has another application for you.
