The Rust Tide stack provides a consistent way of developing tide http servers.

Designed to be used with Appsody an open source development and operations accelerator for containers.

This stack is based on the Rust 1.42 runtime.

Templates are used to create your local project and start your development. When initializing your project you will be provided with the default template project. This template provides a http server that returns "Hello World" on http://localhost:8000/hello.

1. Clone this repo and configure appsody

   git clone https://github.com/No9/rust-tide
   cd rust-tide
   appsody stack package

2. Create a new folder in your local directory and initialize it using the Appsody CLI, e.g.:

   mkdir my-project
   cd my-project
   appsody init dev.local/rust-tide

   This will initialize a Tide project using the default template.

3. After your project has been initialized you can then run your application using the following command:

   appsody run

   This launches a Docker container that continuously re-builds and re-runs your project. It also exposes port 8000 to allow you to call your service from your browser and test tooling.

4. You should see a message printed on the console:

   Running `server/bin/target/debug/rust-tide-server

5. Open a browser at http://localhost:8000/hello

   It should return Hello, world.

6. Now open lib.rs and change world to tide and save the file.

   pub fn app() -> tide::server::Server<()> {    
       let mut api = tide::new();
       api.at("/hello").get(|_| async move { "Hello, Tide" });
       api
   }

7. Your application will be rebuild and republished so refresh http://localhost:8000/hello it will now say Hello, Tide

To debug your application running in a container, start the container using:

    appsody debug --docker-options "--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --security-opt seccomp=unconfined"

The command will start the LLDB platform and wait for incoming connections from any address to port 1234.

You can connect lldb in remote debug mode to this container as follows:

lldb \
  -o "platform select remote-linux" \
  -o "platform connect connect://localhost:1234" \
  -o "platform settings -w /project/server/bin/target/debug" \
  -o "file rust-tide-server" 

Once in lldb, you can use breakpoint set to set breakpoints in your application, and then run to start the app.

NOTE: Due to a current limitation, breakpoints must be set before the application is run. Breakpoints can be disabled, but cannot be re-enabled without restarting the app. After adding or re-enabling breakpoints, restart the app with process kill and then run.
