### Running the tests

|
|
|
Consul ships with an HTTP server for the API and UI. By default, when
|
|
|
|
|
you run the agent, it is off. However, if you pass a `-ui-dir` flag
|
|
|
|
|
with a path to this directoy, you'll be able to access the UI via the
|
|
|
|
|
Consul HTTP server address, which defaults to `localhost:8500/ui`.
