I'm guessing I've missed something silly so I apologize in advance.
The JSON response looks like it's being escaped and it's causing the response validator to fail:
{
"message": "Response validation failed: invalid content type (text/plain). These are valid: application/json",
"failedValidation": true,
"originalResponse": "{\"base\":\"Sample text\",\"clouds\":{\"all\":1},\"cod\":1,\"coord\":{\"lat\":1,\"lon\":1},\"dt\":1,\"id\":1,\"main\":{\"humidity\":1,\"pressure\":1,\"temp_max\":1,\"temp_min\":1,\"temp\":1},\"name\":\"Sample text\",\"sys\":{\"country\":\"Sample text\",\"id\":1,\"message\":1,\"sunrise\":1,\"sunset\":1,\"type\":1},\"weather\":[{\"description\":\"Sample text\",\"icon\":\"Sample text\",\"id\":1,\"main\":\"Sample text\"}],\"wind\":{\"deg\":1,\"speed\":1}}"
}
