The JSON matcher does not seem to be working with regexes.

Hi there,

Currently I try to match the following pattern:

{
  "entries": [
    {
      "id": @string@.matchRegex('/^[a-f0-9]{8}\-[a-f0-9]{4}\-4[a-f0-9]{3}\-(8|9|a|b)[a-f0-9]{3}\-[a-f0-9]{12}$/')
    }
  ]
}

But somehow the matcher does not detect the regex correctly.

Could you also show us what exactlty are you trying to match with this pattern? Do you have any error or maybe its only not matching?

[robinvdvleuten]

It's not matching at all, in this case but also in a more simple regex;

{
  "entries": [
    {
      "id": @string@.matchRegex('/test/')
    }
  ]
}

Could you please share both, pattern & value?
https://github.com/coduo/php-matcher/blob/master/tests/MatcherTest.php#L249-L250 this test proves that regex expander works. Maybe there is something wrong with your regex or value?

@robinvdvleuten it turns out that this problem is related to JSONMatcher, not regex expander itself. I'm closing this issue since I described everything here #90
