Testing the microservice

Use Talend Cloud API Tester to test your deployed microservice.

1. Open Talend Cloud API Tester and click the Project button in the bottom of the left panel to create a new project.
2. Enter a name for your project, DemoREST for example, and click Create.
3. Click Add an environment in the top right corner of the window to create a new environment named DemoREST-VM1.
   This will allow you to create an environment variable for your base URL to avoid changing it directly in the requests.
4. Enter baseURL in the Name column and the relevant URL in the Value column.
   In this example, enter http://<DemoREST-VM1>:5066/services and replace <DemoREST-VM1> with the public IP address associated with your virtual machine.

   

5. Optional: Create an environment for DemoREST-VM2:
   1. Click Add an environment and enter a name.
   2. Select the Copy variables from check box and select DemoREST-VM1 in the drop-down list.
   3. Click Create.
   4. Update the Value column for the baseURL with the relevant IP address.
6. Click Close.
7. Click Add a request to create a request named Get all customers, then open the request and enter the following URI: ${"baseURL"}/customers.
8. Click Save, then click Send to send the request.
   The list of customers is returned.

   

9. Create a second request:
   1. In the left panel, open the menu next to your request and click Copy.
   2. Name the request Get a single customer and click Copy.
   3. Open the request and add /1 at the end of the base URL.
   4. Save and send the request.
