PostBaby

C++ native app to test HTTP endpoints

Demo

Dependencies

• CMake
• OpenGL (with supporting drivers)
• CMake supported C++ Compiler
• Python 3 (to generate GL bindings)
• pip (for pre-commit)

Debian/Ubuntu

You also need the dev libraries for OpenSSL installed.

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libssl-dev

Windows

• Windows systems need the Visual Studio environment setup with the necessary files for C++ development. If required, you need to run

vcvarsall.bat x64

Windows has been configured to use WINSSL

Get Started

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git

Building

• Create a build folder and cd into that, and run cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. for a Release build with the build system of choice.
• The DCURL_CA_BUNDLE flag is passed as a temp fix on some Linux systems
• Configuring CMake might take a while initially as it is downloading dependencies
• Once configured, build it using the selected build system. On *nix systems you can use make -j$(nproc)
• The built binary will be in ${PostBaby_ROOT}/build/src/PostBaby

Development

• We need the following packages installed clang clang-format clang-tidy uncrustify cppcheck iwyu

• We also need to install pre-commit using pip

pip install pre-commit && pre-commit install

• Pre-commit hooks will run per commit

Installing

• Quick Install MacOS

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git && \
cd PostBaby && \
mkdir build && \
cd build && \
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH" && \
CXX=clang++ CC=clang cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j$(nproc)

• Quick Install Linux

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git && \
cd PostBaby && \
mkdir build && \
cd build && \
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCURL_CA_BUNDLE="./cacert.pem" .. && \
make -j$(nproc) && \
sudo make install

sudo make install will add it to your system and application launcher You can also use cpack -C Release to build the package for your OS (.deb for Debian derivatives)

• Quick Install Windows

Initialize your cmd with vcvarsall.bat x64

git clone https://github.com/theProgrammerDavid/PostBaby.git && \
cd PostBaby && \
mkdir build && \
cd build && \
cmake .. && \
MSBuild.exe /m /p:Configuration=Release PostBaby.sln
cpack -C Release

Config Files

On Windows, the config files are stored in %APPDATA%\PostBaby On Linux and MacOS, the config files are stored in $HOME/.config/PostBaby
