:exclamation: Breaking changes

1.7.0

A breaking change is introduced which is related to System.Linq.Dynamic.Core DynamicLinq (CVE).

• The LinqMatcher is not allowed.
• The Handlebars.Net.Helpers.DynamicLinq package is not included anymore.

1.8.0

Some breaking changes are introduced in this version:

Handlebars.Net File-helper

By default, the internal Handlebars.Net File-helper is not allowed anymore because of potential security issues. To still enable this feature, you need to set the AllowedCustomHandlebarHelpers property to File in the HandlebarsSettings property in WireMockServerSettings.

Handlebars.Net Environment-helper

By default, the Handlebars.Net Environment-helper is not automatically allowed anymore because of potential security issues. To still enable this feature, you need to add the Environment category to the AllowedHandlebarsHelpers list-property in the HandlebarsSettings property in WireMockServerSettings.

UnitTesting

You can use your favorite test framework and use WireMock within your tests, see UnitTesting.

Unit/Integration Testing using Testcontainers.DotNet

See WireMock.Net.Testcontainers on how to build a WireMock.Net Docker container which can be used in Unit/Integration testing.

Unit/Integration Testing using an an Aspire Distributed Application

See WireMock.Net.Aspire on how to use WireMock.Net as an Aspire Hosted application to do Unit/Integration testing.

As a dotnet tool

It's simple to install WireMock.Net as (global) dotnet tool, see dotnet tool.

As standalone process / console application

This is quite straight forward to launch a mock server within a console application, see Standalone Process.
