Mountebank

Mountebank is an out of process component testing tool for distributed software.

Mountebank is the first open source tool to provide cross-platform, multi-protocol test doubles over the wire. Simply point your application under test to mountebank instead of the real dependency, and test like you would with traditional stubs and mocks.

Docker Registry

Find all available docker images below. The latest images are build with multi-arch support for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. https://hub.docker.com/r/jkris/mountebank/tags

jkris/mountebank:latest

Installs the latest version of mountebank and exposes port 2525 ready for configuration and testing.

Run the following command to run the docker image:

docker run -p 2525:2525 -d jkris/mountebank

This will start mountebank and expose port 2525, which is the default listening port. Visit localhost:2525 for configuration and manual.

If you wish to load your imposters automatically, mount your imposters as a volume and bind the necessary ports:

docker run \
    -v ./imposters:/imposters \
    [-p IMPOSTER_1_PORT:IMPOSTER_1_PORT ...] \
    -p 2525:2525 \
    -d jkris/mountebank \
    --configfile /imposters/imposters.ejs --allowInjection

Docker Compose

This release comes with a docker compose example that uses a Star Trek API imposter stub stapi_imposter.ejs generated using Mountebanks proxyOnce mode found in the proxy_imposter.ejs proxy imposter example.

The docker-compose.yml file looks like this:

version: "3"
services:
  mountebank:
    container_name: mountebank
    image: jkris/mountebank:latest
    volumes:
    - ./imposters:/imposters
    ports:
    - 2525:2525
    - 8090:8090
    command: --configfile /imposters/imposters.ejs --allowInjection

It mounts the volume containing the imposters ./imposters:/imposters and uses the root imposters.ejs as the config file.

Another imporatnt thing to remember is to open the correct ports. Port 2525 is for Mountebank management page. Because I have defined the imposter to use port 8090 I have opened that as well:

{
    "port": 8090,
    "protocol": "http",
    "stubs": [
    ...

Try it out

Run:

docker-compose up -d

Then run the following to see the imposter in action.

curl -X GET http://localhost:8090/api/v1/rest/series/search

Hint

Try changing the wait behavior in the stapi_imposter.ejs file to increate the latency of the response.
