Seeder & WireMock from the terminal

Everything the Playground does is also available from a terminal.

Seeder

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://playdex:playdex@localhost:5432/playdex dotnet run --project tools/Seeder

Danger

The seeder runs TRUNCATE … RESTART IDENTITY CASCADE on every table before inserting. Point it only at a throwaway database.

The API must have started at least once beforehand, because it’s the API that creates the schema. The seeding logic lives in tools/Seeding and is shared with the Admin Playground. Edit DatabaseSeeder.cs there to change the demo data.

WireMock scenarios

WireMock listens on http://localhost:8888. Switch what each fake provider reports with a POST:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/__admin/steam/playing
curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/__admin/steam/not_playing

curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/__admin/psn/playing
curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/__admin/psn/not_playing

curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/__admin/xbl/playing
curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/__admin/xbl/not_playing_online
curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/__admin/xbl/not_playing

The same requests are in tools/Wiremock/requests.http, which you can run from Rider or VS Code’s REST Client.

Changing what’s “played”

The responses are plain JSON files in tools/Wiremock/mocks/, named <provider>.<state>.json. They’re mounted read-only into the container, so edit one and the next poll picks it up. For example, change gameextrainfo and gameid in steam.playing.json to test a different Steam game.

File	Endpoint it answers
steam.*.json	GET /ISteamUser/GetPlayerSummaries/v0002/
psn.*.json	GET /api/userProfile/v1/internal/users/*/basicPresences
xbl.*.json	GET /v2/presence
xbl.game_details.json	GET /v2/marketplace/title/*

PSN sign-in is mocked too: any NPSSO works and resolves to account psn-account-id.

Running the API outside Docker

src/Api/appsettings.Development.json already points every provider at http://localhost:8888, so you can run only the infrastructure in Docker:

docker compose up db wiremock apprise
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://playdex:playdex@localhost:5432/playdex dotnet run --project src/Api
