mb save [options]While you can always use the API to capture the current configuration
of imposters, mountebank provides a convenient command line mechanism to save the configuration
into a file that can be used to start a subsequent process of mb using the
--configfile command line option. With a running mb process operating on port
3000, you can execute the following command:
mb save --port 3000 --savefile saved.json --removeProxiesAll of the parameters are optional with the defaults listed in the table below. You could then restart mountebank with the following command:
mb restart --port 3000 --configfile saved.jsonThe save command takes the following options:
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--port 2525 |
The port of the running the mountebank server | 2525 |
--host mbserver.local |
The hostname of the running mountebank server | localhost |
--savefile saved.json |
The file to save imposters to | mb.json |
--formatter path/to/module |
Historically, mountebank was limited to saving all configuration in a single file when
calling mb save. A custom formatter allows you to save test data in whatever format
you want (including in ways that convert between other service virtualization products). See
below for more details. |

--removeProxies |

in both the rcfile and the command line, the command line option takes
