<div dir="ltr"><br><div style>Hello,</div><div style><br></div><div style>Sorry if this is documented somewhere that I'm not seeing, but I have pulled down the latest version of Koha and the restful code for development, but several of restful tests do not pass. It looks like all empty JSON is being returned, so I think my test environment is not right....are there maybe some mock definitions I'm missing? Apologize about for being dense...this is my first pass at setting up Koha for development...</div>

The koha-restful package looks like a better fit than the <a href="http://ilsdi.pl" target="_blank">ilsdi.pl</a> script. It was a little hard to install, but I figured it out ( could not find a <span style="font-size:12px;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:monospace">libcgi-application-dispatch-perl for squeeze, but found package </span>libcgi-application-basic-plugin-bundle-perl has this module.)
