• starting server on port 8080
• using responses file: examples/example.json
• press ctrl+c to stop
Install
With go install
go install github.com/kilianc/pretender/cmd/pretender@v1.7.0
With docker
docker run --rm -it \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v $(pwd)/examples:/examples \
kilianciuffolo/pretender:v1.7.0 --responses /examples/example.json
With curl
# change the os (linux or darwin) and arch (amd64 or arm64) based on your machine
curl -O https://github.com/kilianc/pretender/releases/download/v1.7.0/pretender-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf pretender-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
./pretender --version
Usage
Every response in examples/example.json
will match one consecutive http response when hitting http://localhost:8080
pretender --port 8080 --responses examples/example.json
The server has a default /healthz
endpoint that responds with a 200
. If this conflicts with your mock responses, it is possible to configure it by setting the PRETENDER_HEALTH_CHECK_PATH
environment variable.
PRETENDER_HEALTH_CHECK_PATH=/alive pretender
Responses File
Both plain text and JSON
formats are supported.
A TEXT
file contains one response per line:
This line is the first text/plain response body with 200 status code
This line is the second text/plain response body with 200 status code
A JSON
file allows more flexibility and controls:
[
{
"status_code": 200,
"body": "hello",
"headers": {"content-type":"text/plain"},
"delay_ms": 1000,
"repeat": 5
},
{
"body": {
"hello": "world"
},
"headers": {"Content-Type":"application/json"}
},
// ...
{
"body": "will repeat forever",
"repeat": -1
}
]
A valid response definition can contain the following fields
name |
description |
default |
status_code |
HTTP status code |
200 |
body |
HTTP response body |
"" |
headers |
HTTP headers |
{"content-type":"text/plain"} |
delay_ms |
Number of ms to wait before responding |
0 |
repeat |
Number of times the response repeats or -1 for ∞ |
1 |
