Hey everyone,
I had an issue with testing an application where I only had a local instance of an API which had to be consumed using localhost. Now I am aware, that two applications need to be on the same machine to consume an API using localhost.
I solved my problem by spinning up a test application on a cloud environment and connect to that IP adress. However this solution can't be used all the time. So in my opinion, it would be a good idea to add this feature to Service Studio.
If there already is a solution like this, I would be pleased to hear it.
I would think, the solution could be reached in two ways, either through a VPN to the local developer machine or through the Service Studio Application. Maybe it is possible to call a reverse tunnel to the application running on the cloud environment at OutSystems (eg. upon debuging) and enable a connection to localhost through this possibility.
Thanks,
Patrick Kühn
Hi Patrick,
you can add your idea / request to the Ideas Portal. For accessing local test or development services you can also use tools like ngrok https://ngrok.com/ (also my personal choice) which creates a reverse tunnel.
