Wiremock: how to validate ALL objects in an array - wiremock

Question

Using wiremock-standalone (version 2.29.1), I want to verify a request with its body holding an array of objects, containing optional properties.
For instance, consider this request:
Request body (JSON format)
{
"foo": [
{ "bar": "1" },
{ "qux": "oh hai" },
{ "bar": "ohnoes" }
]
}
And let's say I want to match requests only if all the foo.bar attributes are either present, or contain only a single digit (it's only for the sake of example). The example above should not match (the third object has a bar attributes with non-digits characters).
I tried different approches, and the closest I got is this:
{
"matchesJsonPath": {
"expression": "$.foo[*].bar",
"or": [
{ "matches": "^\\d$" },
{ "absent": true }
]
}
}
There are 2 problems:
if there is no bar attribute at all, the request does not match
if at least 1 bar attribute passes the check, then the whole request passes, even though other bar values are invalid (the example above passes)
Does anyone know how to create such a rule in wiremock?

I found a possible solution, maybe not the easiest but it works.
Following your example:
request:
{
"foo": [
{ "bar": "1" },
{ "qux": "oh hai" },
{ "bar": "ohnoes" }
]
}
This bodyPatterns file works for validate each field is present and it has the value given:
"bodyPatterns" : [
{
"matchesJsonPath": "$.foo[?(#.bar == '1')]"
},
{
"matchesJsonPath": "$.foo[?(#.qux == 'oh hai')]"
},
{
"matchesJsonPath": "$.foo[?(#.bar == 'ohnoes')]"
}
]
For reference, the following post helped me a lot:
