Normally, I would test the web layer in a Spring project like this:
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class SpringBootDemoApplicationTests extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests {
#LocalServerPort
int randomServerPort;
#Autowired
private TestRestTemplate restTemplate;
However, I currently have a difficult back end that requires a specific #TestConfiguration class to manually instantiate the test dependencies using beans.
This ultimately means that I can't use the #SpringBootTest annotation as it will try to create conflicting beans and fail to instantiate others.
If I am not using the #SpringBootTest annotation, I can manually create the TestRestTemplate instead of autowiring it, but what do I need to do to start the embedded local server on a random port?
I would still continue using #SpringBootTest, and combine that with using #Profile on your configuration classes.
That way you could have a configuration which is only used during tests, by using #ActiveProfiles on your #SpringBootTest classes. In the same way you can turn other config classes on or off depending on whether you want them to load or not.
For example on your test would have the following
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#ActiveProfiles("unittest")
public class SpringBootDemoApplicationTests extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests {
...
}
Then create a configuration class which will instantiate your components the way you want them in test
#Profile("unittest")
#Configuration
public void TestConfiguration {
...
}
And you can use profiles to stop your other configuration class from loading during tests.
#Profile("!unittest")
#Configuration
public void ProdConfiguration {
...
}
I try to create a simple custom spring boot starter that read property in application.properties :
#EnableConfigurationProperties({ CustomStarterProperties.class })
#Configuration
public class CustomStarterAutoConfiguration {
#Autowired
private CustomStarterProperties properties;
#Bean
public String customStarterMessage() {
return properties.getMessage();
}
}
with its ConfigurationProperties :
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "custom.starter")
public class CustomStarterProperties {
private String message;
/* getter and setter */
...
}
There is also the corresponding application.properties and META-INF/spring.factories to enable the autoconfiguration.
I have another project that declares this starter as a dependency and in which I write a test to see if the customStarterMessage Bean is created :
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class TotoTest {
#Autowired
String customStarterMessage;
#Test
public void loadContext() {
assertThat(customStarterMessage).isNotNull();
}
}
This test fails (even with the appropriate application.properties file in the project) because the application.properties seems to not be read.
It works well with a #SpringBootTest annotation instead of the #EnableAutoConfiguration but I would like to understand why EnableAutoConfiguration is not using my application.properties file whereas from my understanding all the Spring AutoConfiguration are based on properties.
Thanks
#EnableAutoConfiguration on test classes don't prepare required test context for you.
Whereas #SpringBootTest does default test context setup for you based on default specification like scanning from root package, loading from default resources. To load from custom packages which are not part of root package hierarchy, loading from custom resource directories you have define that even in test context configuration. All your configurations will be automatically done in your actual starter project based on #EnableAutoConfiguration you defined.
I'm writing a micro service using dependency injection, and I have a Java class annotated with #Configuration which creates all my beans. However, my autowired fields are not detecting the beans. How do I get my #Configuration class to run before the application starts?
I tried annotating the classes with the Autowired fields as #ContextConfiguration(classes = Config.class), but this didn't work.
My spring configuration file:
#Configuration
public class Config {
#Bean
public AmazonDynamoDB amazonDynamoDB() {
return ...
}
#Bean
public DynamoDBMapper dynamoDBMapper(AmazonDynamoDB amazonDynamoDB) {
return ...
}
}
I expect the Configuration file to be run and the beans injected, but the beans are not being detected.
There's no main method, since I'm writing this in a service which is created using dependency injection in another service. I'm not sure where I'd tell my application to use my Config file.
probably place a #EnableConfigurationProperties( {Config.class}) above your #SpringBootApplication main class.
I've created this custom test configuration:
#TestConfiguration
public static class RestTemplateTestConfiguration {
#Bean
#Primary
public static ApplicationDao applicationDao() {
ApplicationDao mock = Mockito.mock(ApplicationDao.class);
// some stuff code
return mock;
}
}
I've set a breakpoint on applicationDao, but it's never reached, and therefore mock is never injected.
EDIT
ApplicationDao is an #Repository annotated class:
#Repository
public interface ApplicationDao extends MongoRepository<Application, String> {
So, how could I override this #Repository annotated AplicationDao?
Currently, I'm getting this message when spring starts:
Skipping bean definition for [BeanMethod:name=applicationDao,declaringClass=net.gencat.transversal.espaidoc.functional.references.GroupReferencesTest$RestTemplateTestConfiguration]: a definition for bean 'applicationDao' already exists. This top-level bean definition is considered as an override.
Any ideas?
If your method applicationDao() is never called it means that your spring boot is not scanning the package where RestTemplateTestConfiguration is located.
The simplest solutions is to move the configuration under the same package (or its children) as the one that contains the class annotated with #SpringBootApplication.
OBS : This rule applies even though the configuration is in the test directory instead of main.
Another solution is to add #ComponentScan with the configuration package or to use #Import(RestTemplateTestConfiguration.class) at your spring boot test level.
SUGGESTION:
For your problem you can use:
#Mock
ApplicationDao applicationDao;
and if you have another service that uses this one to use:
#InjectMock
MyService myService;
My goal is to migrate a Spring Boot application previously developed with Spring Boot 1.3 to the newest Spring Boot version 1.4. The application consists of several maven modules and only one of them contains class annotated with #SpringBootApplication.
One part of migration is to use #WebMvcTest annotation to efficiently test controllers, and here I get an issue.
Consider an example application from Spring Boot github page. #WebMvcTest annotation works perfectly, because, as far as I understand (after I did several tests), there is a class in the main package annotated with #SpringBootApplication. Note that I follow the same concept as shown in the example above for my own #WebMvcTest tests.
The only difference I see that in my application, controller classes are located in a separate maven module (without #SpringBootApplication annotated class), but with #Configuration and SpringBootConfiguration configurations. If I do not annotate any class with #SpringBootApplication I always get an assertion while testing controller. My assertion is the same as when SampleTestApplication class in the example above modified to have only #EnableAutoConfiguration and #SpringBootConfiguration annotations (#SpringBootApplication is not present):
getVehicleWhenRequestingTextShouldReturnMakeAndModel(sample.test.web.UserVehicleControllerTests) Time elapsed: 0.013 sec <<< FAILURE!
java.lang.AssertionError: Status expected:<200> but was:<404>
at org.springframework.test.util.AssertionErrors.fail(AssertionErrors.java:54)
at org.springframework.test.util.AssertionErrors.assertEquals(AssertionErrors.java:81)
at org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.StatusResultMatchers$10.match(StatusResultMatchers.java:664)
at org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc$1.andExpect(MockMvc.java:171)
at sample.test.web.UserVehicleControllerTests.getVehicleWhenRequestingTextShouldReturnMakeAndModel(UserVehicleControllerTests.java:68)
How should I deal with that? Should I always have class annotated with #SpringBootApplication in order to run #WebMvcTest tests?
EDIT 1: I did a small maven project with 2 modules and a minimal configuration. It is here. Now, I get NoSuchBeanDefinitionException exception for repository defined in another module. If I configure "full" #SpringBootApplication - everything is fine.
EDIT 2: I modified small test project from EDIT 1 to give an original issue. I was playing with different annotations and added #ComponentScan on configuration class, because I suspected that beans are not registered properly. However, I expect that only #Controller bean (defined in #WebMvcTest(...class)) shall be registered based on magic behind #WebMvcTest behaviour.
EDIT 3: Spring Boot project issue.
Short answer: I believe so.
Long answer:
I believe #WebMvcTest needs to find the SpringBootApplication configuration since WebMvcTest's sole purpose is to help simplify tests (SpringBootApplication would rather try to load the whole world).
In your specific case, since you don't have any in your non-test packages, I believe it also finds SampleTestConfiguration which is annotated with #ScanPackages and somehow loads every beans.
Add the following in src/main/java/sample/test
#SpringBootApplication
public class SampleTestConfiguration {
}
And change your test to this:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(MyController.class)
public class MyControllerTest {
#Autowired
private MockMvc mvc;
#MockBean
private MyService ms;
#Autowired
private ApplicationContext context;
#Test
public void getDataAndExpectOkStatus() throws Exception {
given(ms.execute("1")).willReturn(false);
mvc.perform(get("/1/data").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)).andExpect(status().isOk()).andExpect(content().string("false"));
}
#Test
public void testMyControllerInAppCtx() {
assertThat(context.getBean(MyController.class), is(not(nullValue())));
}
#Test
public void testNoMyAnotherControllerInAppCtx() {
try {
context.getBean(MyAnotherController.class);
fail("Bean exists");
} catch (BeansException e) {
// ok
}
}
}
#WebMvcTest finds the SpringBootApplication, then load only a limited number of beans (see documentation):
#WebMvcTest will auto-configure the Spring MVC infrastructure and
limit scanned beans to #Controller, #ControllerAdvice, #JsonComponent,
Filter, WebMvcConfigurer and HandlerMethodArgumentResolver. Regular
#Component beans will not be scanned when using this annotation.
WebMvcTest requires SpringBootApplication: WebMvcTest inherits many AutoConfiguration, so it needs SpringBoot to load them. Then it disables many other AutoConfiguration and your Controllers become easily testable.
The whole point of using WebMvcTest is when you have a SpringBootApplication and you wish to make it simpler to test by disabling all beans except Controllers. If you don't have SpringBootApplication, then why use WebMvcTest at all?
It's an old topic, but there is a solution which wasn't mentioned here.
You can create a class annotated with SpringBootApplication just in your test sources. Then, you still have a nice, multi-module structure of your project, with just one "real" SpringBootApplication.
Yes,according to the spring boot docs
The search algorithm works up from the package that contains the test until it finds a #SpringBootApplication or #SpringBootConfiguration annotated class. As long as you’ve structure your code in a sensible way your main configuration is usually found.
But after I started using #WebMvcTest,spring boot still try to load other beans, finally TypeExcludeFilter did the trick.
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(controllers = {JzYsController.class} )
public class JzYsControllerTest {
private static final String REST_V4_JZYS = "/rest/v4/JzYs";
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#MockBean
private JzYsService service;
#Test
public void deleteYsByMlbh() throws Exception {
Mockito.when(service.deleteYsByMlbh(Mockito.anyString())).thenReturn(Optional.of(1));
mockMvc.perform(delete(REST_V4_JZYS + "?mbbh=861FA4B0E40F5C7FECAF09C150BF3B01"))
.andExpect(status().isNoContent());
}
#SpringBootConfiguration
#ComponentScan(excludeFilters = #Filter(type = FilterType.CUSTOM, classes = TypeExcludeFilter.class))
public static class config{
}
}
There is one more solution. You can not use #WebMvcTest, but configure MockMvc yourself through the builder
class TestControllerTest {
private MockMvc mvc;
#BeforeEach
public void setup() {
mvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(new TestController())
.build();
}
#Test
void test() throws Exception {
// When
var res = mvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/test/test"));
// Then
res.andExpect(status().isOk());
}
}
But this solution may entail a number of other problems, such as problems with configurations, environment property injections, etc.
