06/19/2021, 5:45 PMI am curious, has anybody used ktor as replacement for a mock web server in both Android and iOS automation? I know there is a MockEngine, but that only seems useful if all client requests are being made with a Ktor client and unfortunately my app is not fully converted over yet. So was curious if anybody has tried that or if its even a good use case for ktor?

<http://localhost>:<port where the ktor is running>a

"create payment transaction" to a paygate will return a response with a new id and store this transaction state in an in-memory map. When asked for the status of this transaction, this fake will return the status derived from the previous interactions .
