# tokiotest-httpserver [](https://circleci.com/gh/iroco-co/tokiotest-httpserver/tree/main)
A small test server utility to run http request against.
## parallel use
The test context instantiates a new server with a random port between 12300 and 12400. The test will use this port :
```rust,no_run
use test_context::{AsyncTestContext, test_context};
use hyper::{Uri, StatusCode, Client};
use tokiotest_httpserver::handler::{HandlerBuilder};
use tokiotest_httpserver::HttpTestContext;
#[test_context(HttpTestContext)]
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_get_respond_200(ctx: &mut HttpTestContext) {
ctx.add(HandlerBuilder::new("/ok").status_code(StatusCode::OK).build());
let resp = Client::new().get(ctx.uri("/ok")).await.unwrap();
assert_eq!(200, resp.status());
}
```
At the end of the test, the port is released and can be used in another test.
## serial use
It is also possible to use it with a sequential workflow. You just have to include the [`serial_test`](https://docs.rs/serial_test) crate, and add the annotation.
With serial workflow you can choose to use a fixed port for the http test server by setting the environment variable `TOKIOTEST_HTTP_PORT` to the desired port.
See for example [test_serial](tests/test_serial.rs).
