#15. Stock mock

Before we configure anything, let's see what the mock already gives us.

#Start the live demo server

telepact demo-server --port 8000

#Start the mock server

telepact mock --http-url http://localhost:8000/api --port 8001 --path /api

#A malformed request still fails correctly

curl -s localhost:8001/api -d '[{}, {"fn.add": {"x": "oops", "y": 2}}]'

[{}, {"ErrorInvalidRequestBody_": {"cases": [{"path": ["fn.add", "x"], "reason": {"TypeUnexpected": {"actual": {"String": {}}, "expected": {"Number": {}}}}}]}}]

That is already powerful: our integration code can prove it is sending schema-correct requests before it ever talks to the real service.

#A valid request gets a type-correct nonsense result

curl -s localhost:8001/api -d '[{}, {"fn.add": {"x": 1, "y": 2}}]'

Example response:

[{}, {"Ok_": {"result": 0.001007557381413671}}]

The exact value will vary, but the important part is stable:

• the request is validated

• the response is type compliant

If we need specific values, we'll add stubs next.
