Setting up a development environment in Docker with hurl

We have created two small hurl scripts that can be used to automatically set up a small development environment that runs on Docker containers with Docker Compose.

setup.hurl does the following:

  • Sets up and configures a Central Server and test CA

  • Sets up and configures a management Security Server

  • Sets up and configures a client Security Server

  • Sets up an instance of the example adapter

  • Configures and registers a TestService subsystem on the management Security Server with access allowed for the TestClient subsystem. The TestService has the example adapter SOAP service configured for it.

  • Configures and registers a TestClient subsystem on the client Security Server

  • Queries the getRandom service in the example adapter to verify that the communication works

single-ss.hurl does the following:

  • (assumes that a Central Server and test CA have been configured by setup.hurl)

  • Sets up and configures a Security Server container based on input parameters that is registered on the instance set up with the previous script

NB! This script is only intended for setting up a quick test environment and should not be used for production purposes. The script also makes quite a few assumptions regarding the setup. The minimum supported software versions are 7.3.0 for the Central Server and 6.24.0 on the Security Server.
