How to Test RPC project With a Mock Session

In the following guide, you will learn how to test an RPC project using a mock session.

Create an RPC project.
While generating the entity, check the Generate JSON Mock Data checkbox.

3. Go to src/test/resources/trails/ {entityName}.trail.

4. Open {entityName}.trail and edit it as you wish.

For example:

5. Move the trail file into src/resources/trails.

6. Edit the application.yml.

Add the following properties to the application.yml:

live: false   # When live is false, we go to mock-properties to use a mock backend.
mock:    # Mock properties for RPC
  trail-path: trails/{EntityName}.trail  # trail path
  verify-send: false      # When working in liveSession false it indicates whether to compare input.

The SDK’s application YAML should look like:

ol:
  h3270:
    project:
      mfScreens:
        base-packages:
          - com.mf_screens.openlegacy
        hostname: mainframe.company.com
        port: 23
        code-page: 37
        model: 2
        ssl-type: 
        # Use for MainFrame additional settings: http://x3270.bgp.nu/Unix/s3270-man.html
        additional-params: -xrm ws3270.unlockDelay:false
        live: false   # When live is false, we go to mock-properties to use a mock backend.
        mock:    # Mock properties for RPC
          trail-path: trails/{EntityName}.trail  # trail path
          verify-send: false      # When working in liveSession false it indicates whether to compare input.

Now you can test your app with a mock session.
