OctoberServer

A Reactive Java HTTP server implementing https://github.com/8thlight/cob_spec

Check out the Design Decisions for an overview on how this server is constructed

Dependencies:

• Java 8
• SnakeYaml (for routing; set in the maven build)

Setup:

clone this repo.
$ cd LOCAL/REPO/ROOT
$ mvn clean compile assembly:single

Run Server:

$ java -jar target/OctoberServer.jar [-p PORT] [-d /PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/TO/SERVE/FROM] [-c /PATH/TO/SPECIAL/ROUTES/CONFIG.yml]
When configuring this with cob_spec, be sure to specify -c or it won't run.
Cob_spec runs your server from the home directory, not the project's root.
This will break a server that relies on files and expects to run in the project's root.

Run Unit Tests:

$ mvn test

Run Cob-Spec Tests:

• in a terminal:
• clone cob-spec and follow setup instructions.
• Run cob-spec on port 9090
  
• in the browser:
• Navigate to the Server Start Edit Page
  in the SERVER_START_COMMAND { java -jar /PATH/TO/OctoberServer/target/OctoberServer.jar -c /PATH/TO/OctoberServer/src/test/java/Mocks/cob_spec_routes_config.yml -d PATH/TO/cob_spec/public }
  Note: cob-spec starts the server from the user's home directory, not the repo's root.
  Make sure to specify the path to the .jar and the cob_spec_config.yml from that reference.
  
• Save the page.
  
• Load this link to start the test, or just click the suite link at the top of the page.
