execute a callback when a request matches an expectation, allowing the response to be created dynamically.

forward a request when the request matches an expectation (i.e.

return a 'mock' response when a request matches an expectation.

if no matching expectation proxy requestĪn expectation defines the action that is taken, for example, a response could be returned.

find matching expectation and perform action.

Then, if no matches are found, it proxies the request if appropriate otherwise a 404 is returned.įor each request received the following steps happen: When MockServer receives a request it matches the request against active expectations that have been configured.

both a proxy for some requests and a mock for other requests at the same time.a proxy recording and optionally modifying requests and responses.a mock configured to return specific responses for different requests.

What is MockServerįor any system you integrate with via HTTP or HTTPS MockServer can be used as: You might need to modify these as per your requirements.To get started see the guide for mocking or proxying or the code examples. Here we are supplying NodeJS executable (please note here that NodeJS executable is supplied by Appium itself) followed by Appium.js file and additional arguments such as port and address. Write below shell script and save it in your system.Start Appium server programmatically on Mac: We also need to pass additional arguments if required.Īrmed with this much information, let’s get into the meat of the matter. So to start it, we’ll need to supply Appium server JavaScript file to NodeJS executable. Some background:Īppium server is basically a JavaScript server built using NodeJS. This post shows how we can achieve this using Java for Mac and Windows platforms. Therefore it’s recommended to start Appium server programmatically. While you can always start the server manually before running your tests, this may not be a good approach if you are targeting full automation (Eg. Executing Appium tests for Android and iOS requires Appium server running in background.

Close appium server cmd by port
