Sinatra Mock Server Base

Requirements

• Ruby (v2.0+)
• Bundler

Dependencies

• Rack (web server middleware)
• Sinatra (web server framework)

Setup

via Bundler

If you have Bundler (the Ruby gem for installing Ruby gem libraries via a Gemfile):

bundle install

Manual setup

Otherwise install the following libraries:

gem install rack

gem install sinatra

Troubleshooting

• If you have permissions issues installing then a quick fix is to run the commands as root user e.g. sudo gem install rack and sudo gem install sinatra

Usage

Open a terminal and start the web server:

• cd sinatra-mock-server-template/
• rake

You should see an output similar to this:

The server is now bound to your local IP address, making also possible to point devices to it.

Updating the API

• Edit the App.rb and add new endpoints matching the URLs you want to mock
• Add sample json responses in the responses folder

You can updated the responses and endpoints target this local server in automated tests for your mobile applications. 🎉
