Not getting the expected response from virtual service

Products

• CA Application Test
• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

The response being sent from VSI is not the expected response.

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

The issue was caused by a match script in the VSI.

The match script was setting some property values but did not have any conditions to be verified and decide whether to return the response.

The code return true; was available in the match script and with this option that specific response would be sent regardless of operation or parameters matching.

Resolution

Remove or comment out the return true; line in the VSI match scripts.

Or use the use the expression, defaultMatcher.matches(). This will return a true or false using VSE's default matching logic.
