A standalone proxy/mock that tests if requests/responses are compliant with a given RAML.

To see all options, execute

java -jar raml-tester-standalone.jar

##Usage as proxy Example: If there is a service running at localhost:8080, start the proxy with

java -jar raml-tester-standalone.jar -t localhost:8080 -r <raml-file> -s.

and access the service using localhost:8099.

Every request or response that does not match the RAML definition will be logged.

##Run asynchronously If the proxy is started with the -a flag, it runs asynchronously. You can send commands to it the following way:

java -jar raml-tester-standalone.jar <command>

These commands are supported:

• ping: Ping the proxy
• stop: Stop the proxy
• reload: Reload the RAML file
• validate: Validate the RAML file
• reports: Get the reports of the RAML violations
• usage: Get information about usage of RAML elements

See also the RAML definition.

##Usage as Mock Instead of forwarding all requests to another server, the tool can also be used to return mock responses. (Which will also be verified against a RAML file.) Use the -m option instead of -t to run in mock mode:

java -jar raml-tester-standalone.jar -m mock-data -r <raml-file> -s.

The files in directory mock-data will be used as responses.

• A request to localhost:8099/admin/user/ will be responded with any of the files mock-data/admin/user.{json|xml|txt}, if one exists.
• Responses can be specialized by prepending the HTTP method: A GET request will first search for mock-data/admin/GET-user.json and then for the general mock-data/admin/user.json.
• If a file named mock-data/admin/META-user.json exists, it is used to define response code and reponse headers. An example file looks like { "code": 202, "headers": {"X-meta": "get!"} }.
• If no matching file for a request is found, RESPONSE.json is searched up the directory structure and used if found. mock-data/RESPONSE.json would be used whenever no exact matching file is found. The same is true for META- files.

##Usage from Javascript There is a special support for usage from javascript.

See raml-tester-js for details and raml-tester-uc-js for examples.
