mountebank-grpc-mts v0.4.1

Mountebank-gRPC

Custom gRPC protocol implementation for Mountebank. This works for unary/streaming/bidi requests as well as with Mountebank proxy functionality.

This makes use of nodejs and the google-protobuf and @grpc/proto-loader modules to generate gRPC descriptors from .proto files. This does not support reflection.

Setup

Install project:

npm install mountebank-grpc-mts

Create protocols.json file for gRPC:

{
    "grpc": {
        "createCommand": "mb-grpc"
    }
}

Start Mountebank with protocols file:

mb start --protofile protocols.json

Example

To load a gRPC imposter (via POST http://<MB_SERVER>:<MB_PORT>/imposters):

    "port": 4545,
    "loglevel": "debug",

    "_note_services": "need the name of the package, service and protofile location for this to load",

                        }
                    },
                    "error": {
                        "_note": "gRPC mock error",
                        "status": "OUT_OF_RANGE",

                }
