Trying to test the server runs on a different host and port

Question

Trying to test the server runs on a different host and port via the Kotlin Test library and have encountered a situation where when running a test it runs indefinitely Below is the test logic ``` import io kotlintest specs FunSpec import io ktor application Application import io ktor http HttpMethod import io ktor http HttpStatusCode import io ktor server testing handleRequest import io ktor server testing withTestApplication import kotlin test assertEquals class RouteTest FunSpec init testHomeRouteExists private fun testHomeRouteExists = test homeRouteExists withTestApplication Application main with handleRequest HttpMethod Get assertEquals expected = HttpStatusCode OK actual = response status assertEquals expected = Battery Info Server n actual = response content ```

Resolved the issue by restructuring server kt file to the following ``` fun main val env = applicationEngineEnvironment module main connector host = GeneralSettings host port = GeneralSettings port <http logger info|logger info> Starting server on http $ GeneralSettings host $ GeneralSettings port embeddedServer factory = Netty environment = env start true fun Application main connectToDb install ContentNegotiation setupJackson install StatusPages setupStatusPages routing homeRoute this ownerExistsRoute this listOwnersRoute this setupSiteRoutes this setupSensorDataRoutes this sensorDataTimestampRangeRoute this ```

I had a similar problem when using two connectors for two different ports which piece solved the problem exactly Would it apply for two ports too

Before the restructuring there was no main module Application main which was the missing piece to get testing in Ktor to work

Since then I have created a separate testMain module that is used in tests which looks like the following ``` fun Application testMain install ContentNegotiation setupJackson install StatusPages setupStatusPages routing homeRoute this setupOwnerRoutes this true setupSiteRoutes this true setupSensorDataRoutes this true ```

The connector is only applicable to the Production server Ktor takes care of configuring the Test server There is no need to provide a host and port

Oh I used the new `port 8080 ` route and the tests seem to ignore it I guess its a different problem then disappointed
