How to use Mountebank to create mock server for gRPC service?

[TaeXtreme Natdanai]

Hello, i currently testing my app using Jmeter and Mountebank. I currently use Mountebank to mock an external service that my app needed but some external apis use gRPC. And I found that Mountebank has gRPC community plugin.

I currently using Mountebank in Docker but i the plugin page did not provide the way to use the plugin with docker or docker compose.

So i want to ask how to deploy a mountebank container with gRPC plugin via docker compose. Or is there other way i can create gRPC imposter without that plugin.

I think you will need to create a protocols.json file that has the path to the gPRC library (as per the plugin doco). When you start mountebank in docker map the path of where the library code is in docker command. Something like -  "mb start --protofile protocols.json" where docker knows where to find protocols.json and also the library code.

Have not tried it, but this is just my suggestion.

Well look like the plugin is abandoned already I can't even npm install it on my local machine. 

Is their a alternative way for me to mock grpc service without the pluggin?

I am using the abandoned plugin in a project inside a docker-compose environment.

If this is still an issue for you contact me and I can share the details.
