I’m trying to integrate my rails application with an external service. I’m using Cucumber to do integration testing and I’d don’t want to mock out the external service at times. When I get webhooks from this service, they are routed to apache running my development environment. This would be easy to fix if I could figure out how to fixate my cucumber rails process on a particular port or how to proxy to it.
Basically, how do I get external webhooks (POSTs) routed to my cucumber rails process while it’s running?
It appears that this is possible with Selenium as it starts a webserver on a configurable port.
I contacted the author of this blog post and he confirmed that he was using Selenium configured on the port he forwarded with localtunnel.
