How to share saved requests between computers

Mike Mattozzi edited this page May 6, 2017 · 2 revisions

You can use Dropbox, Box.com, network drives, etc to share saved requests between multiple computers running CocoaRestClient. All you need to do is softlink ~/Library/Application\ Support/CocoaRestClient to a shared drive.

Dropbox Example

  1. Create some shared folder in your Dropbox directory
  2. Copy existing saved requests
  3. Remove local folder
  4. Soft-link to shared folder
$ mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/shared-app-data/CocoaRestClient
$ cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/CocoaRestClient/CocoaRestClient.savedRequests ~/Dropbox/shared-app-data/CocoaRestClient/
$ rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CocoaRestClient
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/shared-app-data/CocoaRestClient ~/Library/Application\ Support/CocoaRestClient

Restart CocoaRestClient or, in Version 1.3.17 or later, choose File | Reload Requests Drawer.

At the moment, you will need to restart or reload the request drawer to resync the saved requests whenever you want to pick up new changes made by a different computer.
