Swagger proxy validator

Development

If you want to develop and maintain this package, you will have to install all the dependencies, etc. To do so, run:

python setup.py develop

You can run this command in virtualenv so you will not have the dependencies in the main Python libraries.

Setup

The proxy is written in Python, you will need Python 2.7 to run the script.

All dependencies are in requirements.txt file, to install it, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you don't want to install it into your python, use virtualenv.

On Windows

There is a possibility, that you will need VC compiler for Python, if you see this message error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27 in the process of installing dependencies, install VC For Python2.7.

Then you can install everything to virtualenv with these commands:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
venv/Scripts/activate
venv/Scripts/pip.exe install -r requirements.txt
venv/Scripts/pip.exe install -r requirements-win.txt
or with proxy
venv/Scripts/pip.exe --proxy="http://........" install -r requirements.txt

Note: It's possible that pip install virtualenv will fail with unknown pip command. Check that python is in your $PATH or use absolute path to pip, something like c:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install virtualenv.

On Linux

Not tested yet, you can follow same approach as for Windows.

Linux comes with prepared make file. For the installation process, run

make configure

after that, change the configuration script. To start the proxy server, run

make run

Configuration

When you first run the script, it will create a configuration file, you can edit it. The properties are straight forward.

Run

Run the script by:

python SwaggerProxy/proxy.py

Using with swagger

Change the path to your project in postmane to localhost:8000 or any other port you choose in the config file.
