How to use HTC Mock?

HTC Mock is a test tool for ArmoniK. It is used to generate tasks that will be run by ArmoniK. It provides a lot of options to personalize the tasks.

HTC Mock is used in CI to test ArmoniK automatically but it can also be used in development to generate realistic tasks.

Please make sure your version of Core is the same as HTC Mock’s. If you use different versions, the test will fail. Please refer to the Default images page for more information on how to correctly set up.

Warning

HTC Mock is a development or test tool. It is not intended to be used in production.

docker run --rm \
            -e HtcMock__NTasks=100 \
            -e HtcMock__TotalCalculationTime=00:00:00.100 \
