Support baseURL for Stub Server

[harikrishnan83]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many a times, the API path needs to be prefixed with additional path segments. Example: /products needs to be prefixed with /api/store/.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support either both or at least one capability.

• Support baseURL similar to testBaseURL for stub server
• Pick it up from servers section

Additional context
Creating this on behalf of @twinkle12b as a follow-up to issue #1425

Hello thanks for opening this request, can you help me resolve the issue of how can I also do this for my stub server as it is also not able to detect the server url path, like i can set system property for testbaseurl base path for contract as test. How can i do this for stub server basepath

Hey @harikrishnan83 @samyakOO7 any updates on the question???

[harikrishnan83]

hello @twinkle12b, thanks for following up on this.

We are already working on option 1 "Support baseURL similar to testBaseURL for stub server" mentioned above. And should be available shortly.

Meanwhile on option 2 "Pick it up from servers section", the servers section in OpenAPI 3.0.x, as you may be aware, can have multiple servers.

servers:
  - url: https://api.production.example.com/v1
    description: Production server
  - url: https://api.staging.example.com/v1
    description: Staging server
  - url: http://localhost:8080/v1
    description: Local development server

So to pick one of them we plan to use description field as the identifier for the URL. So the syntax may look something like specmatic test --server "Local development server" or specmatic virtualize/stub --server "Local development server". Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

@harikrishnan83 Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. Does it mean that we can have the baseUrl for API tests defined at the fine (spec) level and we can have multiple files with multiple hosts running in the same suite?
