Faults

Faults

WireMock.Net has some limited support for simulating random faults / corrupted responses.

Fault types

These faults are currently supported

• EMPTY_RESPONSE: Return a completely empty response.
• MALFORMED_RESPONSE_CHUNK: Send an OK status header, then garbage, then close the connection.

Percentage

It's also possible to define a percentage (value between 0 and 1) when this fault should occur.

Examples

C# Example

var server = WireMockServer.Start();

server
    .Given(Request.Create().WithPath("/fault").UsingGet())
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithStatusCode(201)
        .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
        .WithBody(@"{ ""result"": 100 }")
        .WithFault(FaultType.MALFORMED_RESPONSE_CHUNK, 0.5));
