Developing a cloud based application

 

I was introduced to a new tool, swagger and  I didn't realize the wonderful development trip it would take me on.
I job was to create a cloud application and I was adamant I would work on the server side of the project and leave the GUI to more capable coders.

Swagger creates great documentation for the rest interface. The definition language uses the OpenAPI specification (formerly known as the Swagger Specification). An OpenAPI document that conforms to the OpenAPI Specification may be represented either in JSON or YAML format. I created my document in YAML format as per the "Petstore" example that comes with the swagger editor.

Add logical subst drives permanently to Windows

A Windows program expected to see a D: and an O: drive and the program was running on a virtual machine.

My first thought was to get the system admin to create 2 virtual drives on my VM machine but then I remembered from my MSDOS days the "subst" command.

Subst associates a path with a drive letter.

I had a problem that the subst command wouldn't associate drive d: because the virtual CDROM was assigned to that drive.
