How to test health checks?

[Konstantyn Smirnov]

Hello all

I added the dependency:

compile 'io.vertx:vertx-health-check:3.4.2'

and the code to the start() method:


    HealthChecks healthChecks = HealthChecks.create vertx
 
    HealthCheckHandler hch = HealthCheckHandler.createWithHealthChecks healthChecks
    hch.register( 'db' ){ Future<Status> future ->
      try{
        checksmth()
        future.complete Status.OK()
      }catch( Throwable t ){
        future.complete Status.KO()
      }
    }

    Router.router( vertx ).get( '/health' ).handler hch

When I try to curl http://localhost/health, it sez:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80: Connection refused.

What am I missing?

connection refused would indicate that the server is not listening, are you sure you are starting to listen with the server in the start() method?
