Chapter 2. Specifying the test port


By default, Quarkus tests run on port 8081 to avoid conflict with the running application. This allows you to run tests while the application is running in parallel.

Procedure

  • To specify the port used when you are testing your project, configure the quarkus.http.test-port property in the project application.properties file, where <port> is the port that you want to test on:

    quarkus.http.test-port=<port>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    You can set the port number to 0 to let the your operating system assign a random port form the range of available ports on your system.

    Note

    Quarkus provides REST Assured integration that updates the default port used by REST Assured before the tests are run, so no additional configuration is required.
