Swift 3+ runForever example

[PeaceKeeperOrg]

Do you have an example of running your DefaultHTTPServer asynchronously in the background using Swift 3.0 or greater? I would like to use Ambassador in an XCTest ( i.e. NOT XCUITest) to build a lightweight mock REST server for unit testing an API that I'm building.

Thanks in advance,
Rowland

Hi @PeaceKeeperOrg,

You can see our UITestBase example in our blog post

You can also see the gist here

Although it's for UI testing, it won't be any different to just inherit from XCTest instead in your case.

Hi @fangpenlin, I tried to follow those guidelines but I cannot make it work properly.

I have create the files you said in the article but still not working as I expected. I have created the "DefaultRouter" file, UITestBase file and MyUITests file in my UI Test folder. Also I have created an Alamofire requets in my ViewController with is the endpoint I want to mock with Ambassador, but the localhost from Ambassador is always "http://[::1]:8080/api/v2/users" and it never returns the correct information.

What can I do to make it work? Do you have a really working example? Because I never found a real working example mocking an endpoint from a ViewController.

Thanks in advance,

Regards.
