Ability to specify a mock's port #78

Closed jayvdb closed 1 year ago

jayvdb commented 1 year ago

https://github.com/oxidecomputer/progenitor recently added the ability to generate httpmock's for an OpenAPI spec. This is great for testing.

However it would also make it quite easy to build a reasonable mock service that can be used instead of a "real" service. The only problem is that httpmock cant be told which port to use. Well, it can, but only from within the crate, which is what the standalone feature uses.

It would be nice if server::start_server was public outside the crate, so I could build my own "standalone", using my generated openapi mocks and some custom code to return appropriate responses.

However any other mechanism for being able to start the mock server at a specified port would likely be sufficient for my purpose.

Thanks for reaching out! Cool that you use httpmock in progenitor, which sounds like a very interesting use case.

Did you see there is the following function that allows you to set a custom port: https://github.com/alexliesenfeld/httpmock/blob/d25bac2f2d615cfc36c3ea79eac4054f9644d9dc/tests/lib.rs#L23

The following test shows you how you can use it with the httpmock client: https://github.com/alexliesenfeld/httpmock/blob/d25bac2f2d615cfc36c3ea79eac4054f9644d9dc/tests/examples/standalone_tests.rs#L12-L20

@jayvdb Is this sufficient for your use case?
