The target server failed to respond

[anthonygauthier]

Hi so I'm developing a plugin for JMeter that uses fluent-http as a web server to expose a REST API.

I'm currently unable to consume any URL, the server is started on the right port - I was able to check that out with a simple telnet. However, it never sends a response. I've been trying to figure out the problem by reading the documentation but no luck.

Here's my sample code:

public class App {
    private WebServer instance;
    private int port;
    private JMeterContext jMeterContext;

    public App(int p, JMeterContext jc) {
        this.instance = new WebServer().configure(routes -> routes
            .get("/test", new Payload("application/json","{\"hello\":\"world!\"}", 200))
        );
        this.port = p;
        this.jMeterContext = jc;
    }

    /**
     *  Methods to start or stop the API
     */
    public void start() {
        this.instance.start(this.port);
    }

    public void stop() {
        this.instance.stop();
    }
}

Here's my unit test to check the connectivity:

public class TestAppServer {
    private static int PORT = 8080;
    private static String APP_ADDRESS = "http://localhost:" + PORT;

    private App server;

    @Before
    public void startTest() throws Exception {
        this.server = new App(PORT, null);
        this.server.start();
    }

    @Test
    public void testServerConnectivity() throws Exception {
        HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.get(APP_ADDRESS + "/test").asJson();
        assertTrue(response.getBody().toString().contains("world"));
    }

    @After
    public void stopTest() throws Exception {
        this.server.stop();
    }
}

Any chance anyone could help me pinpoint the issue here? It's for sure something stupid on my end!

Thanks,
