You can easily create gRPC test flows and validate your services in the same streamlined process as with other protocols. ### **Usage** To execute a gRPC request: * Go to the relevant test flow within your Test Suite. * Set the Request URL using `grpc://` (replace `` with your target service’s DNS). Typing `grpc://` will automatically adjust the request settings for gRPC usage. * Once the gRPC protocol is detected, Loadmill will automatically extract and offer gRPC method options based on the uploaded `.proto` files. {% embed url="" %} ### Uploading service definitions (.proto files) Loadmill automatically offers the available gRPC methods after recognizing the gRPC protocol and parsing your `.proto` files. Go to Service Definitions section:
Inside, create a new Service Definition, and upload your `.proto` file/s.
The service definitions will be parsed, and method names will be extracted. To configure service definitions for use in your flow: * Click on the three dots on the top right * Choose "Configure Service Definition" * Pair your Service Definition to your Test Flow Once the service is paired, the methods will be automatically offered within the flow editor. {% embed url="" %}
