Note that this release changes some default command line behavior. It's not a breaking change -
all previous functionality is still supported, but it means you may need to pass in some additional
command line flags (specifically --mock and --debug) to get the same behavior
as before, if you depended on either the requests or matches arrays recorded
with imposters and stubs previously.The following changes are part of this release.
timestamp has been added to each element in the requests array
to allow for richer verification testing.matches array is only included if you use the --debug command
line parameter. In practice, this array confused people. It is still supported,
but is only intended for debugging purposes to determine when a stub matches or doesn't.requests array is only included if you use the --mock command
line parameter, and the --nomock parameter no longer matters. This is the inverse
of prior behavior and represents learning that the default use case for most people is to turn
off recording requests by default (which represents a memory leak), as many people prefer long
running mb instances set up with config files or used for performance testing.Many thanks to the following kind folk for help with this release:
npm install -g mountebank@<%= releaseVersion %> --production
