Documentation / dotnet / WireMock-as-a-Windows-Service It's also possible to wrap WireMock in a Windows Service.

Program.cs

Create a Program.cs with the following content:

C#

public static class Program
{
    #region Nested classes to support running as service
    public const string ServiceName = "Wiremock.Net.Service";

    public class Service : ServiceBase
    {
        public Service()
        {
            ServiceName = Program.ServiceName;
        }

        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            Start();
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            Program.Stop();
        }
    }
    #endregion

    private static WireMockServer _server;

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // running as service
        if (!Environment.UserInteractive)
        {
            using (var service = new Service())
            {
                ServiceBase.Run(service);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // running as console app
            Start();

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to stop...");
            Console.ReadKey(true);

            Stop();
        }
    }

    private static void Start()
    {
        _server = StandAloneApp.Start(new FluentMockServerSettings
        {
            Urls = new[] { "http://*:9091/" },
            StartAdminInterface = true,
            ReadStaticMappings = true,
            Logger = new WireMockConsoleLogger()
        });
    }

    private static void Stop()
    {
        _server.Stop();
    }
}

When you start the exe file in Visual Studio or from the commandline, the application will behave same like WireMock-as a standalone process.
