[Feature] Allow regex URL matching in HAR

[dougouk]

Currently the HAR replay matches URL and HTTP method strictly according to the docs.

This prevents me from easily replacing my existing network mocks with HAR mocks

Here is what I mean

Let's say I have an API api/v1/fruits that takes in a query parameter color

The following mocks the API so that the response is mocked for all calls, regardless of what the query parameter is

await page.route('*/**/api/v1/fruits**', async route => {

I would like to use HAR to do the same, but I cannot without manually editing the JSON file.

HAR will create a JSON file for each URL. Meaning if the test runs with api/v1/fruits?color=red then it will create the mock for only the query parameter color=red, and not color=yellow or color=green.

Currently I need to go into the JSON file, copy-paste the existing URL responses, and replace the query parameters. All manually :(

Ideally if there was a configuration to allow URL pattern matching instead of strict, that would help my use case a lot.

Could we have this as a feature please?

This is an interesting and valid feature request, but it requires designing the right API. For example a serializer that would convert api/v1/fruits?color=red to a api/v1/fruits\?color=[\w]+ regex when recording, so that it could match while replaying.

It is unlikely that we prioritize this feature, but if you are interested in contributing it, let us know!

Since nobody is assigned to the issue, could I contribute to it?

Any update? Could I start working on this feature?
