Test a Service version

To test a Service version, change the status to Testing.

Tip: Apply policies to the Service for comprehensive testing.
  • A valid service with:
    • A Snaplex selected at the Service or the endpoint level.
    • At least one endpoint that defines one or more HTTP methods.
  1. Open the Service version to test.
  2. Click on the Service status pill on the top right.
  3. From the dropdown, select Testing and click Confirm.
  4. Scroll to the endpoint paths.
    You can test an endpoint with a command line tool like cURL or an app like Postman. Copy the URL from the clipboard in the path row:

  5. Paste the URL to use with cURL or an application like Postman.

If you encounter issues testing or publishing, check the following:

  • Make sure there are no errors reported in the Service.
  • Make sure the Service status is correct:
    • To test, the Service status must be Testing.
    • To publish, the Service status must be one of Private, Restricted, or Public.
  • Check the Snaplex selected in the Service to make sure it's running.
  • Check whether a Policy with a Basic Auth rule is applied to the endpoint.
  • Check whether you entered the username and password in Postman correctly.
