./gradlew build./gradlew bootRun./gradlew testYou can start the backend in development mode, this will automatically trigger a new build and reload the application once the content of a file has been changed and you save the file.
Start two terminal windows and run:
./gradlew build --continuous
and in the other one:
./gradlew bootRun
If you want to avoid running all tests with every change, use the following command instead:
./gradlew build --continuous -xtest
- We highly recommend to use Postman in order to test your API Endpoints.
If something is not working and/or you don't know what is going on. We highly recommend that you use a debugger and step through the process step-by-step.
To configure a debugger for SpringBoot's Tomcat servlet (i.e. the process you start with ./gradlew bootRun command),
do the following:
- Open Tab: Run/Edit Configurations
- Add a new Remote Configuration and name it properly
- Start the Server in Debug mode:
./gradlew bootRun --debug-jvm - Press
Shift + F9or the use Run/Debug"Name of your task" - Set breakpoints in the application where you need it
- Step through the process one step at a time
