How to mock repository so it doesn't instert or pull data from DB - spring-boot

Question

So my issue is that in my SpringBoot REST application im testing my RestController. The problem is that i don't know how to mock the repository so it doesn't get or puts data into the DB. I'm using Kotlin and Mockk for mocking
Here is my Repository
#Repository
interface StandingOrderRepository: CrudRepository<StandingOrder, Int> {
fun findByNameAndVariableSymbol(name: String, variableSymbol: String): List<StandingOrder>
fun findByValidFromBetween(fromDate: String, toDate: String): List<StandingOrder>
fun findByValidFromAfter(fromDate: String) : List<StandingOrder>
}
And here is my Test
#SpringBootTest
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
internal class StandingOrderResourceTest {
#Autowired
lateinit var mockMvc: MockMvc
#Autowired
lateinit var objectMapper: ObjectMapper
private val standingOrderMapper = mockk<StandingOrderMapper>()
private val standingOrderRepository = mockk<StandingOrderRepository>()
private val standingOrderServiceImpl = mockk<StandingOrderServiceImpl>()
private val standingOrderResource = StandingOrderResource(standingOrderServiceImpl)
val baseUrl = "/api"
#Nested
#DisplayName("GetStandingOrders()")
#TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
inner class GetStandingOrders {
#Test
fun `should return all StandingOrders`() {
standingOrderResource.getStandingOrders()
mockMvc.get(baseUrl)
.andDo { print() }
.andExpect {
status { isOk() }
content { contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)}
}
//standingOrderResource.getStandingOrders() shouldBe listOf(standingOrderDto)
}
}
}
The problem is if i Make a API call or invoke the mocked repository it still gets actual data from DB

Answer 1

In your test code you should try to use method whenever() from org.mockito.kotlin for stubbing StandingOrderRepository's method call.
For example your code for stubbing will looks something like this
whenever(standingOrderRepository.findByNameAndVariableSymbol(any(),any())).thenReturn(listOf(StandingOrder(...)))
UPD: So you use Mockk, then you shuold use method every instead whenever from mockito.

So this is how i made it work maybe the issue was on my side how i was trying to use it #Anton Tokmakov was correct here is how i did it
#SpringBootTest
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
#ExtendWith(SpringExtension::class)
internal class StandingOrderResourceTest #Autowired constructor(
val mockMvc: MockMvc,
val objectMapper: ObjectMapper,
) {
#MockkBean
private lateinit var standingOrderResource: StandingOrderResource
#Nested
#DisplayName("GetStandingOrders()")
#TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
inner class GetStandingOrders {
#Test
fun `should return all StandingOrders`() {
every { standingOrderResource.getStandingOrders() } returns
listOf(standingOrderDto1, standingOrderDto2)
mockMvc.get(baseUrl)
.andDo { print() }
.andExpect {
status { isOk() }
content { contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)}
}
.andExpect {
jsonPath("\$..[0]", match(MockMvcResultMatchers.content().json(Gson().toJson(
listOf(
standingOrderDto1,
standingOrderDto2
)), false)))
}
}
}
