Disabling the server for actual application

[andrewlandfried]

The context

I have the server dependencies included in my project because I want to make some mock servers for some integration tests. However, in my actual application, I only need the client.

The question

When I start my application, I notice this log line:
method=createAndStartGrpcServer line=91 - gRPC Server started, listening on address: *, port: 9090

Is there a way to disable the server? I didn't see too much about the actual configuration properties in the documentation other than being able to change the port.

The application's environment

Which versions do you use?

• Spring (boot): 2.3.4
• grpc-java: 1.31.1
• grpc-spring-boot-starter: 2.10.1.LATEST
• java: version + architecture (64bit?) 64 bit java 11
• Other relevant libraries...

How about using the server part as a test dependency? (alternatively as provided/compileOnly/optional dependency)

Use -1 to disable it.

Does that answer your question?

I believe https://github.com/yidongnan/grpc-spring-boot-starter/issues/419 talks about the same problem, and a solution was discussed. This ticket can be closed a dup in favor in 419.
