Hey all, I am writing an integration test for a service that contacts another service using graphql with apollo client.
What is the best approach for mocking the service? Is a regular http mock server a reasonable approach?
I’ll mention that the test is dockerized. Thanks!

MockServer is what we do for apollo-kotlin codebase. It's working great :+1:. There's even an `apollo-mockserver` artifact if you need native/js support

If not OkHttp MockWebServer has more features

I am also trying to use MockServer. My mock container name is managementmock, so I configure ApolloClient’s server url to be <http://managementmock:1080>. However, I get a connection refused error, and it seems that for some reason the ip is added to the url.
I attached an image, do you have a clue why that might happen?

`1080` is the port. IIRC it's assigned automatically, you don't have control over it. You should retrieve the url from the mock server:
```ApolloClient.Builder()
.serverUrl(mockServer.url())
.build()```


Note that `url` is suspend so if you're in a plain Java project, you'd better use okhttp <https://github.com/square/okhttp/tree/master/mockwebserver|MockWebServer> instead, it'll be easier to work with
