Setup for Manual Testing of the Starter

Pre-req - maven must be installed on your machine (for example - brew install maven on mac-os)

1. Run mvn liberty:dev

   This will do the following:

   • build the openliberty-starter-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war
   • download and unzip the wlp to start.openliberty.io/target/liberty directory,
   • create the defaultServer, copy the server.xml to start.openliberty.io/target/liberty/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer directory,
   • copy the .war to the apps directory of the server and start the server (defaultServer)

2. Visit https://localhost:9443/api/start/info to confirm the API is healthy

3. To test the app-name.zip generated using maven, use the query params for ex. https://localhost:9443/api/start?a=app-name&b=maven&e=9.1&g=com.demo&j=8&m=5.0

4. To test the app-name.zip generated using gradle, use the query params for ex. https://localhost:9443/api/start?a=app-name&b=gradle&e=9.1&g=com.demo&j=8&m=5.0
