fallback template for null/blank values

[paulRbr]

Hi there,

I have a question regarding the mock templates. Is there a way to add a fallback mock if the context expression returns a null / blank value?

e.g. for mocking a POST response we use the request.body values in this example but as those parameters are not required in the request they might be empty. Thus turning the mock response in the following invalid JSON format:

{
  "id": "af64322f-8726-4252-af37-c1bd5d3db41d",
  "trip_id": "4d67459c-af07-40bb-bb12-178dbb88e09f",
  "passenger_name": "john",
  "has_bicycle": ,
  "has_dog": ,
  "links": {
    "self": "https://api.example.com/bookings/af64322f-8726-4252-af37-c1bd5d3db41d"
  }
}

Notice the empty values in front of has_bicycle and has_dog?

My question is thus: is there a way to write a “fallback” expression something like {{ request.body/has_bicycle | randomBoolean() }}?

Hi @paulRbr

Thanks for raising the discussion - that's a fair point and we don't have any fallback for null/blank values as of today. That would be an interesting enhancement! Would you mind creating an issue in https://github.com/microcks/microcks/issues to track this one?

Any free cycle to create this issue? 😉
