This is an application written in PHP's Laravel to simulate requests to the Tasks API.
This application runs on Docker. It uses a docker image of PHP 8.1 paired with Apache to run a Laravel 9 application and also a MySQL container.
This application also uses Composer to handle dependencies.
Once you have Docker running on your environment, it's time to set up this application. For this, start by cloning this repository on a folder of your choosing, and then move into the newly created folder and performe the following instructions.
- Set up the container with
docker-compose build
Once it has finished building the container, run
docker-compose up -d
To get it up and running. Both commands must be executed on the project's root folder
- Then
cdinto theappfolder and create a file copy named.envfrom the.env.localfile by running the following:
cp .env.example .env
cp .env.testing.example .env.testing
Both files are pre-configured for local and testing enviroment
- Now you'll need to install all the project's dependencies, execute the following on the project root folder:
docker-compose exec tar_web composer install
- Next, you need to run migrations to create the application tables. Execute the following on the project root folder:
docker-compose exec tar_web php artisan migrate
- And you're done! You may need to run a
docker-compose exec web chmod -R 777 storage/command for enabling the app to write on log files.
There's two ways to use this application to generate requests. One way is using the command:
docker-compose exec tar_web php artisan app:api-command {action}
It will create a single random request. You can also send this command with an argument to issue specific requests.
Use create_task to create a new task, update_task to update a task and close_task to close a task
By running the following command
docker-compose exec tar_web php artisan schedule:work
you will set up Laravel to run a random request every 30 seconds.
On the matter of failures or any other problems, check the log files under app\storage\logs\. The requests.log logs all of the requests steps and procedures.
