from httprepl.

Hi @metoly, could you post the command you used please?

from httprepl.

@metoly Going to close this for now since there's no more details and I'm guessing it won't be relevant anymore after we publish the new packages to nuget. Feel free to reopen if you disagree or have more information.

I have httprepl installed but I cant invoke the command. Am I missing a path variable?

'dotnet-httprepl' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

from httprepl.

Yes, it should be on your path after you've installed it, if you installed it globally. From a command line, run:

dotnet tool list --global

Does it list the package and command?

from httprepl.

@tlmii Yes when I run that command it shows as installed.

dotnet tool list -g
Package Id                     Version                    Commands
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
microsoft.dotnet-httprepl      3.0.0-preview.19370.1      dotnet-httprepl

from httprepl.

Interesting. Next two things to check:

1. Take a look in your tools folder (probably %userprofile%\.dotnet\tools\) - do you see the dotnet-httprepl.exe shim in there?
2. is that folder (%userprofile%\.dotnet\tools\) on your PATH?

from httprepl.

@tlmii it was the PATH variable was missing, I'm not sure what happened but the install did not add it.
Thanks for the help

Odd. That's done by the SDK itself, not the tool. From the docs:

These locations are added to the user's path when the SDK is first run, so Global Tools installed there can be called directly.

I guess maybe something got gummed up with your sdk install? Glad you've got it working now.

@tlmii Any guidance on passing query string parameters using httprepl?

from httprepl.

@bigswede74 You can do it by just adding it to whatever call you're making. so for instance:

set base https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/
cd pet
cd 5
get ?myquerystring=5

Note of course that, in the example here, the querystring doesn't actually do anything. But it is passed to the server as expected. Same thing should work for POST, etc.

Since the tool was written with REST APIs in mind, the directory structure concept doesn't really lend itself well to APIs that require querystrings rather than having the parameters be part of the path. But it will work.

If you have any follow up questions, please open a new issue so we can track it properly.

@tlmii Great thanks again.

Fix for:
'httprepl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
and
httprepl: The term 'httprepl' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
despite running dotnet tool list --global and verifying that the package is installed.

1. Press the Windows key.
2. Search for "Edit the system environment variables".
3. Under the 'Advanced' tab, select the Environment Variables... button.
4. Under the 'System variables' table, double click on the 'Path' entry.
5. Add a New entry.
6. Enter "C:Program Files\dotnet\tools\" without the quotation marks, and don't forget the trailing slash.
7. Press OK.
8. Restart your terminal client.

At least for me, this allowed the terminal to recognize the httprepl command. Hope this helps!
