=== Testing a service with virtual robot

A service can be tested in the virtual robot settings.

* prepare an app with the service to test - you may start with the examples below or use the ''templater'' tool [https://github.com/pepperhacking/robot-jumpstarter#template-python-service robot-jumpstarter] (use a ''new name'' for your service):
  {{{
ssh aurora
cd /nlp/projekty/pepper/web/robot-jumpstarter
python jumpstart.py python-service tweety-service TweetyService
cp -a output/tweety-service ~/pepper/
}}}
  Here `tweety-service` is the directory name of the application (and the app name), `TweetyService` is the API name of your service as it will be called from Python.[[br]]
* copy the directory with the service app (e.g. `~/pepper/tweety-service`) to your computer, where you run Choregraphe. All the following steps are done on this computer, ''not remotely'' via SSH.
* start Choregraphe and [../Introduction#virtualrobot run the virtual robot]
* find out the ''port number'' of your virtual robot: click [[Image(pepper_connect.png, valign=top)]] [[br]]
  and remember the `IP` and `port` from the table:[[br]]

  Here the virtual robot's address is `localhost:34121`
