Option 2 (Turn settings on and off)
Another way you can get the Charles Proxy settings into your shell environment variables is to create a function to set and a function to unset. With the following, you can type proxy-on which will set the environment variables and then when done with the need for the proxy settings you can type proxy-off. This may be good for if you are on and off of a proxy network.
Add environment variables to ~/.bash_profile
Configure Test Kitchen
You must launch Charles Proxy and keep it running pretty much at all times or at least while doing CLI/Dev work that requires network access.
Troubleshooting
- If you get an error that you can't save settings to the configuration you may need to change ownership of the application files.
- If you don't have a license it will shutdown after about 10 minutes. You can relaunch it, apply a license or maybe cron something.
