v2.4.0
This release adds a significant amount of startup customization to mountebank.
New Features

configfile
CLI option or when saving test data usingmb save
. See the newformatter
CLI option for details. - Allow passing a custom
data
object tostringify
functions in the default EJS formatter for theconfigfile
CLI option - Support gzip request content encodings, so predicates work on compressed requests.
- Allow customizing the logging format with the
log
command line parameter. - Added the
rcfile
command line parameter, allowing you to keep startup configuration in a JSON file. - Added Prometheus metrics to help troubleshoot bottlenecks.
- Reduced the Docker image size
- Moved the 'No predicate match' message from the debug logs to the info logs to help troubleshooting when mountebank is generating a default response.
Bug Fixes
- Correctly show the imposter
name
on the imposters page. - Fixed bug passing large requests or responses to the
shellTransform

copy
behavior to replace JSON keys as well as data.

Windows path limitations
*mountebank wishes very much for your Windows experience to be hassle-free, but he is simply not qualified to address a particular constraint of Windows Explorer. For legacy reasons, some Windows applications, including most notably Windows Explorer, have a maximum number of characters allowed in a path of 260 characters. As mountebank writes these words, the longest path he includes in the zip files is around 175 characters. The zip file name, which is likely to represent itself as two nested directories if you use the defaults to unzip it, will be around 25 characters. That gives you very little wiggle room. If you unzip the file in your users directory, you may very likely get an error because of this constraint.
The following solutions will all work:
- Unzip to the root of your C: drive (or a similar small path)
- Use 7zip to unzip the file instead of Windows Explorer
- Use
npm
to install mountebank instead of the zip file
