pathMatches in mock is not working properly in karate version 1.2.0

[svram25]

Attached the below zip release with modified cats-mock.feature file which shows the issue.
Kindly use karate standalone jar 1.2.0.

karate-1.2.0.zip

Command used to run the mocks:
Run the below command from the place where karate jar is placed(jar location - karate-1.2.0\karate-1.2.0).
karate -p 8080 -m src/demo/mock/cats-mock.feature

Issue:
pathMatches in mock is ignoring the first character of the path added inside it. Please refer the below example.

Scenario: pathMatches('/cats') && methodIs('get')
* def response = { "mock" : "cats" }

If I hit http://localhost:8080/cats from postman, Karate is returning 404. Please refer the below screenshots.

If I hit http://localhost:8080/acats from postman, Karate is returning 200 and picking up the above mentioned mock. Please refer the below screenshots.

So it is picking up the incorrect mocks and since it is ignoring the first character path is not matched properly while using pathMatches.

Note: This functionality is working fine in 1.1.0

tagging as help wanted anyone is welcome to contribute a PR. we also haven't heard this from anyone else, so I don't consider it a priority.

again I'd like to remind everyone that this is why we release RC versions, to get this kind of feedback earlier instead of when it is too late.

thanks @shaokunWang I investigated and found the problem. this only affects the "fatjar" users, so I've made a release only for that. can you confirm that the new version here works ? https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/releases/tag/v1.2.1.RC1

@ptrthomas It is working fine now with Karate version v1.2.1.RC1
