script to port forwarding to the test-data-generator pod

port-forward.sh

#!/bin/sh
oc project tower-analytics-$1. # expect either ci or qa
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
  echo "oc project tower-analytics-$0 failed. Abort"
  exit 1
fi

for i in $(oc get pods -o name);
  do
    echo $i
    if [[ "$i" == *"$automation-analytics-test-data-generator-"* ]]; then
      oc port-forward $i 8080 &        # this forward from local 8080 to target pod's 8080
      watch -n 30 curl localhost:8080. # this keeps the forwarding from timing out
    fi
  done
  

you can run the watch command from a different console session to avoid the garbled output from the 2 commands
