Stub API. Stubs Delete ​

The /api/stubs/{uuid} endpoint with the DELETE method removes a specific stub by its unique identifier (UUID).

Request ​

  • Method: DELETE
  • URL: /api/stubs/{uuid}
  • Parameters:
    • uuid (path parameter): The ID of the stub to delete (UUID format).
  • Headers: Standard headers (e.g., Content-Type: application/json).

Example Request:

bash
curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:4771/api/stubs/6c85b0fa-caaf-4640-a672-f56b7dd8074d

Response ​

  • Success:

    • Status Code: 204 No Content
    • Body: Empty (no content returned).

  • Error:

    • Status Code: 404 Not Found (if the stub does not exist).
    • Body:
      json
      { "error": "Stub with ID '6c85b0fa-caaf-4640-a672-f56b7dd8074d' not found" }

Behavior ​

  • Idempotency:
    • Returns 204 even if the stub does not exist (no error).
  • Impact on Lists:
    • If the stub was marked as "used" or "unused," it is removed from both /api/stubs/used and /api/stubs/unused.

Example Workflow ​

  1. Create a Stub:

    bash
    curl -X POST -d '{
  "service": "Gripmock",
  "method": "SayHello",
  "input": { "equals": { "name": "gripmock" } }
}' http://127.0.0.1:4771/api/stubs

    Response:

    json
    ["6c85b0fa-caaf-4640-a672-f56b7dd8074d"]

  2. Delete the Stub:

    bash
    curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:4771/api/stubs/6c85b0fa-caaf-4640-a672-f56b7dd8074d

    Response: 204 No Content

  3. Verify Deletion:

    bash
    curl http://127.0.0.1:4771/api/stubs/6c85b0fa-caaf-4640-a672-f56b7dd8074d

    Response:

    http
    HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2025 22:31:30 GMT
Content-Length: 0

{ "error": "Stub with ID '6c85b0fa-caaf-4640-a672-f56b7dd8074d' not found" }

Notes ​

  • Edge Cases:
    • Deleting a non-existent stub does not return an error (idempotent operation).
    • Use GET /api/stubs/{uuid} to verify existence before deletion.
  • Related Endpoints:
    • DELETE /api/stubs: Purge all stubs.
    • POST /api/stubs: Create or update stubs.
    • GET /api/stubs/used and GET /api/stubs/unused: Track stub usage.

This endpoint is critical for precise management of stubs during testing. Use it to remove outdated or redundant configurations.
