Wiremock As A Windows Service

It’s also possible to wrap WireMock in a Windows Service.

Program.cs

Create a Program.cs with the following content:

public static class Program
{
  #region Nested classes to support running as service
  public const string ServiceName = "Wiremock.Net.Service";

  public class Service : ServiceBase
  {
    public Service()
    {
      ServiceName = Program.ServiceName;
    }

    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
      Start();
    }

    protected override void OnStop()
    {
      Program.Stop();
    }
  }
  #endregion

  private static WireMockServer _server;

  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    // running as service
    if (!Environment.UserInteractive)
    {
      using (var service = new Service())
      {
        ServiceBase.Run(service);
      }
    }
    else
    {
      // running as console app
      Start();

      Console.WriteLine("Press any key to stop...");
      Console.ReadKey(true);

      Stop();
    }
  }

  private static void Start()
  {
    _server = StandAloneApp.Start(new FluentMockServerSettings
    {
      Urls = new[] { "http://*:9091/" },
      StartAdminInterface = true,
      ReadStaticMappings = true,
      Logger = new WireMockConsoleLogger()
    });
  }

  private static void Stop()
  {
    _server.Stop();
  }
}

When you start the exe file in Visual Studio or from the commandline, the application will behave same like WireMock-as a standalone process.
