#Test Resolver Service

This guide shows you how to test your Vidos resolver service using the built-in dashboard DID tester. You'll learn to verify DID resolution functionality, validate different DID methods, and troubleshoot common issues.

#Prerequisites

Before testing your resolver service, ensure you have:

• At least one running service instance
• Basic understanding of DID resolution concepts

#What you'll accomplish

By following this guide, you'll be able to:

• Use the dashboard DID tester for quick and easy testing
• Test DID resolution for different methods
• Validate error handling through the dashboard

#Step 1: Use the dashboard DID tester

The easiest way to test your resolver is using the built-in DID tester in the Vidos dashboard.

#Access the DID tester

1. Navigate to Resolvers in your dashboard.

2. Click "View" next to your resolver instance.

3. Find the "Test" section on the instance details page.

4. Enter a DID to test (e.g., did:key:z6MkhaXgBZDvotDkL5257faiztiGiC2QtKLGpbnnEGta2doK).

5. Click "Test" to see the resolution result.

#Test different DID methods

Use the dashboard tester to verify your resolver supports different DID methods:

Test did:key (self-contained):

Test did:web (web-based):

#Step 2: Test error scenarios

Use the dashboard tester for more complex testing scenarios.

#Test error handling

Use the dashboard to test error cases:

Invalid DID format:
