Dummy feature to check location on localhost

[johnnyAnd]

I am configuring OPENGMLC on my localhost , when I do /restomm with an msisdn , it shows empty response which is ok, there needs to be some simulator or dummy msisdn that I can pass to it and it can send me response.

Thanks

@JohnTet do you want to contribute that example ?

[johnnyAnd]

@deruelle I would love to ofcourse but I am struggling myself to run it on localhost.

@JohnTet Recommend to check out the updated README file here: https://github.com/RestComm/gmlc/blob/issue45/README.md

That may help if you're having any install/run problems, and has details about how to setup a dev environment.

In general also you'll see a little bit of a better immediate test response (even though it'll be an error) if you send a MLP POST request instead of a GET

@JohnTet I'm back :)

I'm reviewing @angrygreenfrogs PR and will provide further feedback on this hopefully today. Thanks!

[angrygreenfrogs]

@JohnTet @FerUy Oh, on this subject, I should say there's already a little bit of test code in the GMLC for this.

It'd be nicer if there was a "dummy" mode configuration variable to turn it on... but in any case you can set this to true in core/slee/services/sbbs/src/main/java/org/mobicents/gmlc/slee/MobileCoreNetworkInterfaceSbb.java

private boolean useFakeLocation = false;

And it'll return a fake location from POST or GET rather than trying to do a real request.

@angrygreenfrogs and then I have to compile it from scratch ? creating snapshot etc. just asking ..

Maybe an easy solution would be for there to be a dummy mobile number that will always return a successful fake location?

[deruelle]

@Monix that's an option. We need to make sure it's a non valid mobile number or enable that only when fake is enabled through configuration

[Vanit]

@deruelle Maybe a fictional 555 number?

[deruelle]

yeah sounds good to me
