This provides a KTOR http server that can control starting and stopping the actual server. This is used by end-to-end tests to start a new (blank) instance of the server before each test.
WARNING: this will automatically delete all app-ktor-server data (the data directory and database) every time the actual server is started.
This is not tested or supported on Windows. It might (or might not) work
Usage:
Start the test server controller:
./start.sh --siteUrl http://ip.addr:8087/
The site url must be specified as per the runserver.sh command. See the main README.md as per “Step 4: Build/run the server”.
To start/restart the actual server (e.g. to run an end-to-end test), request the start url:
http://localhost:8075/start
If any actual server is running that was started by the control server, it will be assumed that this was from a previous test and it will be stopped. The database and data directory will be automatically cleared
Stop the control server:
./stop.sh
