What happened?

I'm trying to use regex to match the path but it is not working:

const nock921 = require('nock@13.2.9')
nock921("http://localhost/api/v2", {allowUnmocked: true})
  .get(new RegExp("^/users/first"))
  .reply(200, 'Match regex');

try {
    await got('http://localhost/api/v2/users/first');
    console.log('nock@9.2.1 is ok')
} catch (error) {
    console.log('nock@9.2.1 is not ok')
}

Would you be interested in contributing a fix?

• yes

Exactly same problem in v13.2.9
I had to define my RegExp with a loose start

Then it's working

It seems like nock function should specifiy only the hostname and not the whole path.
e.g. this is working:

  it.only('post with another regexp as spec', async () => {
    const scope = nock('http://localhost')
      .get(new RegExp("^/api/v2/users/first"))
      .reply(200, 'Match regex');

    const { statusCode } = await got.get('http://localhost/api/v2/users/first')

    expect(statusCode).to.equal(200)
    scope.done()
  })

Can you specifiy the path in the get/post/etc function instead?
