CHOCOLATEY: choco install wiremockui
Is a project done in .NET Framework 4.5
that creates mock servers using the famous Wiremock
(http://wiremock.org).
The tool is completely visual and features of Wiremock have been enhanced:
- Easy to create and run a server Wiremock
- Create and manage more than one server Wiremock in one place
- Create multiple scenarios for the same API or website with the intention of switching them as needed.
- Viewing the maps with your corresponding answer in the form of
TreeView
- Manage maps from Wiremock with the options: create, Edit, Remove, duplicate, disable and visualization in the form of JSON
- Advanced text editor with the following options:
- Highlight for the languages:
JSON
/XML
/HTML
/JavaScript
/C#
/PHP
/LUA
/VB.NET
- JSON and XML formatters
- AutoWrap
- Search and replacement
- Go to line
- Highlight for the languages:
- The management of maps (inside the tool) dispenses with the restart of the server.
- Logs in text and table views with the options:
- Analysis of time
- Re-run the request with the internal tool
Web Request
- Compare requests that did not match with any
TreeView
map.
- Built-in tools:
Web Request
: Is a simple executor of HTTP calls that can help debugText Compare
: Is a simple text comparerText editor
: Text Editor with formatting options to JSON or XMLJSON Viewer
: JSON Viewer in the form of a tree.

When creating a new server, a scenario will also be created, you can have more than one scenario for a same server, switching them as needed using the option Set as Default
that exists in the options of the scenarios.
- Click with the right side of the mouse over the item
Servers
and clickAdd Server
- The
Server Port
field will be automatically generated, but you can change it at any time. - You do not need to fill in the
Target URL
field, because the idea is to create a server from scratch. If you want to generate an initial mass with an existing API, use this field and run the server in write modeStart and Record
.
- In the creation of the server, you can configure the implementation of wiremock. Click on the tab
Advanced
- For more information about each one: http://wiremock.org/docs/running-standalone/
Add scenario

- Click with the right side of the mouse on the desired server and click
Add scenario
- You can have more than one scenario for a same server, this is useful for situations where you don't want to waste time creating advanced matches using match options of wiremock.
Add map
: Adds a new map, this map will be the basics of a map of the wiremock.Set as Default

- To add a new map, click with the mouse on the direct side item
Scenario1
. - A map file will be created with the basics of the Wiremock settings. For more information about how to configure a map go to: http://wiremock.org/docs/request-matching/.
Rename
: Renames the file, when this occurs, the answer file is also renamed and will stay with the same name, but keeping your original extension.Duplicate
: Duplicates this mapRemove

: Opens the file manager with the selected file.
- When opening a map file or any other file JSON, you can view it with the
JSON Viewer
tool. - Click with the right side of the mouse over the desired attribute for more options:
View text editor

being edited according to the language selected.- A new text editor is also available in
Tools -> Text Editor
- Click with the right mouse button on the desired server
- Click
Start
- To start the server, a window containing the logs in the form of text and table are displayed.
- The first text of the "log" displays the command line (in green) that would be the equivalent to the Java command for the selected option.
- One of the advantages of using WiremockUI is that you can edit the map files and your responses without the need to restart the service.
Open the server in the browser
- The log of the grid is more complete than the log in text form, in addition to showing the a more easy, there's still some debug options, such as:
- Re-run the requests.
- Compare the requests with the existing maps.
- These debug options only work with
LISTENER
type,NET.IN
and typesNET.OUT
are low level calls made by wiremock and that are also displayed here.
- By clicking with the right button on the
LISTENER
type, click theOpen in WebRequest
option. - The tool allows you to edit the request data and displays in the status bar the return code with the time that the call took. This tool is also available through the menu
Tools -> Web Request
- By clicking with the right button on the
LISTENER
type, click theCompare
option. - On the left side will open the contents of the log. Select the file you want to compare by using the button with the downward arrow on the right side of the comparator.
- This tool is also available in the menu
Tools -> Text Compare
- To have a higher accuracy over time, compare the time
NET.IN
type (columnRequestTime
) with theNET.OUT
type (columnResponseTime
) of the desired URL. Unfortunately, there is no option needs to get this information, it would be a desire for the next versions of Wiremock (in Java). - The
NET.OUT
type does not return the URL in the field waited, therefore, the location of this line must be manual, i.e. clean the logs and make the call only the URL that you want to measure the time. - This option only makes sense when this running as a proxy, it makes no sense to measure the time a mock server.
Add a new server by filling out the option Target URL
, so the execution options and recording will appear in the Server menu.
Starting the server
When running in record mode, you will see the log match-headers
Options, this means that when generating a map of the route, the headers Content-Type
and SOAPAction
should be part of the filter if any, i.e. URL
, BODY
and these headers
must be the same to be an answer.
- After recording, the maps are displayed in the tree and your answers will be available by clicking on
+
each map. - To use the saved files, stop the server with the option
Stop
and start with the optionStart
.
Add a new server by filling out the option Target URL
, so the execution options and recording will appear in the Server menu.

: Opens the about screen.
Is a project built in java that simulates a web service. Technically it was designed to work in two ways:
- Standalone Mode: is when it is run from the command prompt with the purpose of creating web servers storing the request and responses in the form of files. It can work with 3 types of servers.
- Run as mock server
- Execute as a proxy, but recording the data (useful for initial load)
- Run only as a proxy
- Testing Framework: is out of our scope, but it can also be used as mock framework API to Java unit tests. In .NET we have
mock4net
that has inspired Wiremock.
For more information, visit the official website of the tool: http://wiremock.org/
Within the context of tests it is useful to simulate APIs or anything about the HTTP protocol. The server uses, basically, of two folders to work:
- mappings: this folder contains the files
.json
, where each file represents a route with your respective answer. There is a lot of settings within each map, all are available in the documentation of the wiremock. - __ files: in this folder are the answer files that are configured on a map.
Example of map-GET
This map creates a route that will be hearing the http://[SERVER]:5500/user/all
route using the verb GET
. When a request is within these rules the contents of the file response.txt
will be returned:
{
"request": {
"url": "/user/all",
"method": "GET"
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"bodyFileName": "response.txt",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}
}
Example of map-POST
This map creates a route that will be hearing the http://[SERVER]:5500/user/insert”all
route using the verb POST
and when the body of the request is the same {\"Name\":\"User3\",\"Age\":100}
. When a request is within these rules the contents of the file response.txt
will be returned:
{
"request": {
"url": "/user/insert",
"method": "POST",
"bodyPatterns" : [
{
"equalToJson" : "{\"Name\":\"User3\",\"Age\":100}"
}
]
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"bodyFileName": "response.txt",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}
}
Response:
The answer is always "raw", without any encapsulation. As in earlier maps, we saw that the response is a file application/json
, then that file will have the JSON content, if it was an image, this answer file would have the image extension, example: response.jpg
and your content would be a binary.
{
"key1": "value"
}
Testing:
- Up the server
java -jar "D:\wm\wiremock-standalone-2.8.0.jar" --port 5500 --root-dir "D:\wm\server1" --verbose
- GET scenario:
- Url:
http://localhost:5500/user/all
- Method:
GET
- Url:
- POST scenario:
- Url:
http://localhost:5500/user/insert
- Method:
POST
- Body:
{ "Name": "User3", "Age": 100}
- Url:
It is very useful to load the first mass, after that, you can edit the generated files and can create several scenarios. To use the generated files need to change the form of execution for mock server.
Testing:
- Up the server in write mode:
java -jar "D:\wm\wiremock-standalone-2.8.0.jar" --port 5502 --proxy-all "https://www.w3schools.com/" --record-mappings --root-dir "D:\wm\server2" --verbose --match-headers Content-Type
- Open the URL in your browser:
http://localhost:5502
- Stop the server
- Edit any file
- Restart the server in order to use the saved files
java -jar "D:\wm\wiremock-standalone-2.8.0.jar" --port 5502 --root-dir "D:\wm\server2" --verbose
- Clear the browser cache
- Rerun:
http://localhost:5502
In our context, it can be useful when you need to use the original service without having to change the URL in the client.
Running:
- Up the server in proxy mode (ignoring the maps saved):
java -jar "D:\wm\wiremock-standalone-2.8.0.jar" --port 5502 --proxy-all "https://www.w3schools.com/" --verbose
- Open the URL in your browser:
http://localhost:5502
The .JAR
of Wiremock does not run using processes. The .JAR
last version of Wiremock was converted to .NET using the "IKVM". With this, it was possible to increase the use of the tool, having direct access to the main classes.
- It uses Windows Forms as a paradigm, so you need to have the .NET Framework 4.5 installed.
- All saved files will be saved in a folder named
.app
which is at the root of where's the.exe
.
At the moment, I will not add new features due to lack of time, I will be available only for bugs and minor improvements. If you want to contribute with new ideas or fixes, just contact us or access the board of the project.
- I see that the main point of improvement would be in the form "FormMaster". He's in a lot of lines and little componentised.
- Another important point is to improve the persistence layer, at the moment, the calls are not centered leaving the dangerous situation for future improvements and this aggravates by being on a database in the form of a single file.

WiremockUI is an open source project. Starting in 2017, many hours have been invested in the creation and evolution of this project.
And all with only one goal: make it a good mock tool to improve the daily lives of the developers. If the WiremockUI was useful for you, or if you want to see it evolve increasingly, consider making a small donation (any amount). Help us also with ideas and possible problems.
Anyway, we appreciate you for have come up here;)
