  @lbroudouxSource IssueLFX portal

  The Microcks CLI (microcks-cli, written in Go) is a key part of Microcks' CI/CD story - it lets developers trigger contract tests and import artifacts from the command line and in GitHub Actions. This project goes into the developer experience layer. Today, developers must navigate to the Microcks web UI in a browser to see test results, check mock status, and diagnose import errors. There is no IDE integration, no offline validation mode, and no way to get mock results inline with the code being tested. This project builds three focused improvements that bring Microcks into the editor and the local dev loop: a VS Code extension, a local dry-run mode powered by Testcontainers, and an updated GitHub Actions output format that annotates PRs with per-operation pass/fail results.

  Microcks ( is a cloud native, open source tool under CNCF for API and microservices mocking and testing. This project aims to support the growing Microcks adopter community by fostering a collaborative effort to document production-grade deployment strategies for cloud environments. While the core Microcks maintainers focus on features, security, and enhancements, the adopters are responsible for production setups. However, a shared repository of best practices can help users learn from one another in a true open-source spirit. This project will empower the community to deploy Microcks confidently in diverse cloud environments, fostering collaboration and sharing of expertise among adopters.

  Microcks ( is a cloud native, open source tool under CNCF for API and microservices mocking and testing. This project focuses on enhancing the reliability and quality of Microcks releases by introducing comprehensive CI deployment tests and validations using GitHub Actions. While the project already includes unit and integration tests, recent issues (ex: and with dependencies have underscored the need for end-to-end validation to ensure new integrations do not introduce bugs or regressions.\ \ Participants will develop workflows for building and deploying Microcks and running automated tests to confirm its functionality under real-world scenarios. This will help prevent edge cases and dependency-related issues affecting the Microcks community and adopters. This project improves the delivery process to ensure that Microcks' releases meet the community's expectations for quality and reliability.
