About this skill
Skill: Simulator Management
description: Capabilities for managing and troubleshooting the API Simulator.
Instructions
This skill provides guidance on how to interact with the Apicentric Simulator backend and handle common configuration issues.
Importing Specifications
- Prefer OpenAPI 3.0 for best compatibility.
- Swagger 2.0 is supported for legacy specs (e.g., Kubernetes).
- Use
cargo test --test import_exportto verify parser changes.
Validating Definitions
- Run
cargo run -- simulator validate <file>to check for schema errors. - Ensure all paths start with
/. - Ensure at least one response (200 OK) is defined per endpoint.
Common Troubleshooting
- Conflict (409): Occurs when a service with the same name is already registered.
- Internal Error (500): Often points to a panic in the parser or a resource issue. Check backend logs for backtraces.
- Port Conflict: The simulator automatically assigns ports in the 8000-8999 range. Ensure this range is available.
When not to use it
- →Non-API simulator tasks
Limitations
- →Requires valid API specification
How it compares
It focuses on simulator-specific configuration and error resolution.
