Unexpected end of file from server - When calling local standalone wiremock server. about karate

[YOU54F]

Just to revisit this @ptrthomas

Got this working now for my local wiremock service, by changing the port to 1705 rather than 9000!

thanks again!

 java -jar wiremock-standalone-2.5.1.jar --root-dir=stubs --port=1705 --verbose

Thanks buddy for suggesting some investigation routes.

I had seen that issue listed on wiremock and upon checking stackoverflow too.

I will do some investigation and should I find a solution, I will post back.
👍

Quick one, can you add a -Dhttp.keepAlive=false to the wiremock start and see if that helps ? something like java -jar -Dhttp.keepAlive=false [..]

Thanks for the response chap.

Tried

java -jar -DKeepAlive=false wiremock-standalone-2.5.1.jar --port=9000 --verbose

to no avail. Still getting the same error - javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

Had looked at the wiremock documentation and they don't appear to support setting of keep-alive

http://wiremock.org/docs/running-standalone/

Wonder if I may be able to via an extension.

Tres bizarre!

Karate uses WireMock for the unit-test: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-junit4/src/test/java/com/intuit/karate/junit4/wiremock

So if you can use that as a starting point and replicate, that might help. Also ensure that wiremock is started on Java 8. Try -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 - is the TeamCity JAR / java version the same.

Also it does look like a known issue with WireMock: https://github.com/tomakehurst/wiremock/issues/132#issuecomment-288984013
https://github.com/tomakehurst/wiremock/issues/256

As per some stackoverflow posts I read, this can also happen if there are spaces or special characters in the URL.

Will close as unable to replicate.

really appreciate you reporting this back, this will help others. maybe there was a process that had locked that port or it was a permissions issue.
