pikopod scenario run drives its own requests against a throwaway engine, so your application is never in the loop. A mode is the other half: it arms the scenario’s standing conditions on the sandbox pikopod up is serving, and then your own tests, your own app, or plain curl meet the failure. A mode is global to the sandbox and stays until cleared. Two test suites running against one sandbox see each other’s faults, and a fault with a times window counts down across both. Run one suite at a time against a given sandbox, or give each its own pikopod up on a different port. Needs pikopod up.

​
mode set

A scenario whose first step is a request has no standing state and is refused with the reason. --bind overrides a role binding, repeatable.

​
mode show

Prints the standing state, or no mode set.

​
mode clear
