Spring Cloud Contract consumer side test returns 404 - wiremock

Question

While running Spring Contract test on consumer side using stubs. I got following response first for endpoint creation then for request that was sent to it and then for the response.
Both type1 and type2 are enum fields, the other fields are string.
127.0.0.1 - POST /mappings

User-Agent: [Apache-HttpClient/4.5.12 (Java/11.0.5)]

{
"id" : "7d0b6496-be88-43c0-891d-bdb8ef8ae033",
"request" : {
"url" : "/testEndpoint",
"method" : "PUT",
"headers" : {
"Content-Type" : {
"matches" : "application/json;charset=UTF-8.*"
}
},
"bodyPatterns" : [ {
"matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(#.['name'] == 'Test')]"
}, {
"matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(#.['type1'] == 'NONE')]"
}, {
"matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(#.['type2'] == 'NONE')]"
}, {
"matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(#.['description'] == null)]"
}, {
"matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(#.['comment1'] == null)]"
}, {
"matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(#.['comment2'] == null)]"
} ]
},
"response" : {
"status" : 201,
"transformers" : [ "response-template" ]
},
"uuid" : "7d0b6496-be88-43c0-891d-bdb8ef8ae033"
}
127.0.0.1 - PUT /testEndpoint

{"name":"Test","type1":"NONE","type2":"NONE","description":null,"comment1":null,"comment2":null}
The response I got was:
Matched response definition:
(no response definition configured)
Response:
HTTP/1.1 404
(no headers)

Actually I see that the problem is that the regex for json content type is "application/json;charset=UTF-8.*" and the actual is "application/json; charset=UTF-8" (notice the space). You should change your contract to support a regex for that space (e.g. application/json.*)
