Node.js module and grunt plugin to start and stop MockServer and MockServer Proxy

Overview

MockServer provides a powerful solution for developers looking to test HTTP, HTTPS, and other protocols within their applications. With the mockserver-node module and Grunt plugin, users can easily start and stop MockServer instances, making it a flexible tool for both local development and continuous integration. This product caters to a wide range of testing scenarios, allowing teams to create reliable mock services that simulate API responses without the need for a live backend.

What makes MockServer particularly interesting is its port unification feature, which supports various protocols on the same port. This capability simplifies the configuration and enables developers to focus on writing tests instead of managing complex setups. Whether you are working on a small project or a large-scale application, MockServer provides the tools needed to streamline your development process.

Features

  • Easy Integration: Start and stop MockServer via Node.js code or Grunt plugin, providing flexibility in tools and environments.
  • Port Unification: Supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, and HTTP CONNECT on the same port, simplifying connectivity and configuration.
  • Request Logging: Capture logs of requests made to MockServer by setting the log level to INFO or higher, ideal for monitoring and debugging.
  • Proxy Forwarding: Optionally forward requests to specified ports or hosts, which can be configured to meet specific needs during testing.
  • Multiple Ports Support: Allow binding to multiple ports for different protocols; this feature enhances the capability to mimic real-world scenarios.
  • Configurable Artifactory Settings: Specify custom artifact repository paths and hosts for tailored dependency management.
  • Verbose Output: Capture detailed logs by enabling verbose output through simple command-line options, providing deeper insight during development.
