Mocking repository / filling db BEFORE container start for app-startup integration test - spring-boot

I'd like to write integration test to verify proper function of #EventListener(ApplicationReadyEvent.class) annnotated method, but I need to setup the data to be found by some repository. The #SQL is executed only before #Test method, ie. after the ApplicationReadyEvent was processed., #MockBean followed by Mockito.when in #Before method is the same, it's reached only after #SpringBootTest finished initialization, namely after ApplicationReadyEvent was processed.
I also tried to provide #TestConfiguration with bean defined as:
#Bean
SomeRepository someRepository() {
SomeRepository someRepository = Mockito.mock(SomeRepository.class);
Mockito.when(someRepository.findById("value")).thenReturn(...);
return someRepository;
}
but this is somewhat insufficient, as the #SpringBootTest still finds actual implementation of this repository (even if I add #AutoConfigureMockMvc) and run crashes with this conflict.
How can I prepare the mocked repository or actual data in test db for this scenario?

Multiple testfiles and MockRestServiceServer, expecting calls from other testfile

I've build a service with two endpoints, and I want to cover both endpoints with integration tests. To prevent these integrationtests from reaching other services, I'm using the MockRestServiceServer class to mock calls and responses to other HTTP services.
TestOperationA:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
#ActiveProfiles({"integration"})
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "nl.xyz")
public class OperationAIntegrationTest {
MockRestServiceServer mockServer;
#Autowired
RestTemplate restTemplate;
#Autowired
OperationA operationA;
#Before
public void setup() {
this.mockServer = MockRestServiceServer.bindTo(restTemplate).bufferContent().ignoreExpectOrder(true).build();
this.mockServer.reset();
}
#After
public void finish() {
// Verify all method calls are run after the testcase.
this.mockServer.verify();
this.mockServer.reset();
}
And then testcases contain stuff like:
this.mockServer.expect(requestTo(ENDPOINT_OAUTH))
.andExpect(method(HttpMethod.POST))
.andRespond(withSuccess(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(oAuthToken), MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
I do the same for OperationBIntegrationTest. This includes the binding to restTemplate!
Now the problem is that if I run all testcases seperately, everything succeeds. If I run all the testcases from OperationA ór OperationB, they all succeed. But when I run all the testcases so the integrationtests from OperationA and OperationB are executed in sequence, the testcases from OperationB fail. Even though I see that Spring Boot gets started anew when the testing framework jumps to the second testing file.
I'm thinking that the MockRestServiceServer does not get cleaned up or I'm doing something wrong with the binding to RestTemplate. I tried the .reset() and .verify() combinations by placing them in #Before and #After, but with no effect. Does anybody know why this is happening?
Apparently, some stuff was happening in the background causing certain variables and methods not being updated anymore since a previous test already updated it. When I don't dirty the application context (by having more MockBean's for example) then everything is allright.
So the ones adjusting the values in the background should be marked dirty.

Where can I use #Transactional

Can someone explain me why this will work:
#Transactional
#Test
public void test() {
save();
}
public void save() {
Scenario scenar = new Scenario();
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(scenar);
}
And this won't, because it won't find a transaction:
#Test
public void test() {
save();
}
#Transactional
public void save() {
Scenario scenar = new Scenario();
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(scenar);
}
Thank you!
Spring #Transactional annotation works using Spring AOP. This means, that when a bean that contains a method with that annotation is injected as a dependency for a different bean, it gets wrapped in a proxy. This proxy has the same interface as the bean, but performs additional actions before a method is invoked (wrapping it in a transaction in this case). You can think of it as a sort of a decorator. You can even see the proxy being invoked when you debug your application.
Now, when the method that you annotate with #Transactional is called from the same class, there is no (at least, no easy) way to inject the proxy. There just isn't a way to replace the object referenced by the "this" keyword in Java.
More reading on Spring AOP proxies.
As you have a method annotated as #Test I assume this is part of a Junit Test class.
Spring developpers know that test methods usually do not implement interfaces, and as such cannot support JDK proxying. So they specially support #Transactional annotation on a #Test method. The doc says :
Enabling and disabling transactions
Annotating a test method with #Transactional causes the test to be run within a transaction that will, by default, be automatically rolled back after completion of the test. If a test class is annotated with #Transactional, each test method within that class hierarchy will be run within a transaction. Test methods that are not annotated with #Transactional (at the class or method level) will not be run within a transaction. Furthermore, tests that are annotated with #Transactional but have the propagation type set to NOT_SUPPORTED will not be run within a transaction.

Spring auto populate list with mocks

I would like to know if anybody has successfully #Autowired an auto-populated list of objects, injecting mocks, with Spring during the test phase of the build? What I want to be able to do is override Spring's auto-population of a list during test time and have it populated with mocks within a unit test, instead of the implementation classes. I have successfully accomplished this by specifying #Resource within the code instead of #Autowired, but then when I deploy the Spring web app, the auto-population does not execute with #Resource specified for my list (it's just empty). The oppposite happens when I specify #Autowired on the list. The list is auto-populated when the app runs, but then I cannot populate the list with mocks when the unit tests run. It seems to be a catch-22...
So how do I use #Resource on a List type and have Spring still do the auto-population at runtime? Has anybody done this successfully - use auto-population at runtime, but substitute mocks into the list during the test phase? If so, could you possibly post relevant parts of your test #Configuration class? (Java annotations please, not XML). Thanks..
This works for injecting mocks, but then auto-population of the list doesn't kick in at runtime:
#Resource(name = "myServices")
private List<MyService> myServices;
And in my test config:
#Bean
#Qualifier("myServices")
public List<MyService> myServices() {
List<MyService> myServices = new ArrayList<>();
MyService mockService1 = Mockito.mock(MyService.class, Mockito.RETURNS_DEEP_STUBS);
MyService mockService2 = Mockito.mock(MyService.class, Mockito.RETURNS_DEEP_STUBS);
eventServices.add(mockService1);
eventServices.add(mockService2);
return myServices;
}
And then with the following, auto-population is active all the time (at runtime and during the test phase), but I cannot override and inject the mocks during the test phase with #Autowired, as it ignores the myServices #Bean definition from the test config:
#Autowired
#Qualifier("myServices")
private List<MyService> myServices;
Thanks in advance for any insight on this.

Multiple tests with autowired MockHttpServletRequest not working?

I use an #Autowired MockHttpServletRequest in some of my Spring tests. TestNG is used as testing framework. If I only have one test method in the class this works fine. However, if there are multiple test methods, only the first run test uses my MockHttpServletRequest. Let me illustrate with an example:
#WebAppConfiguration
#ContextConfiguration({"classpath:applicationContext.xml"})
public class FooTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests {
#Autowired
private MockHttpServletRequest servletRequest;
#Test
public void test1() {
assertEquals(((ServletRequestAttributes)RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes()).getRequest(), servletRequest);
}
#Test
public void test2() {
assertEquals(((ServletRequestAttributes)RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes()).getRequest(), servletRequest);
}
}
In this example, test1() passes, but test2() fails! If you run the test methods individually, they both pass. Why does one test fail if they are run together?
I tried to dig in the code, there seems to be some kind of reset of the request attributes after a test method have run, but I didn't find a way to turn it off. My Spring version is 3.2.8.RELEASE.
UPDATE: This has been fixed in Spring Framework 3.2.9, 4.0.4, and 4.1. See SPR-11626 for details.
Well, my friend... you have discovered a bug in the Spring TestContext Framework.
The reason for this behavior is that ServletTestExecutionListener resets the request attributes after each test method, but DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener does not re-inject dependencies before each test method (by default). When the second test method is executed, the servletRequest field is still referencing the MockHttpServletRequest that was created for the previous test method; whereas, ServletTestExecutionListener creates a new instance of MockHttpServletRequest for each test method and sets it in the request attributes. Thus, the injected request and the one stored in the RequestContextHolder are only the same for the first test method that executes in TestNG.
Since I am the author of this code, I have to personally apologize, but... I'll make sure it gets fixed ASAP. See SPR-11626 for details on the status of the fix. ;)
Note: this bug only applies to TestNG tests; this does not apply to JUnit tests.
As a work-around, you can annotate the affected test methods with #DirtiesContext (or annotate your test class with #DirtiesContext(classMode = ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD)). This will allow your tests to pass as you expect.
The use of #DirtiesContext will make Spring close your test ApplicationContext after each test method, and this will likely have a negative impact on the speed of your tests; however, as of Spring 3.2.8 and 4.0.3, this is the only non-custom solution.
Having said that, the following is a much more efficient work-around. Just define this custom TestExecutionListener in your project:
public class AlwaysReinjectDependenciesTestExecutionListener extends AbstractTestExecutionListener {
public void afterTestMethod(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
testContext.setAttribute(DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.REINJECT_DEPENDENCIES_ATTRIBUTE, Boolean.TRUE);
}
}
And then annotate your test class like this:
#TestExecutionListeners(AlwaysReinjectDependenciesTestExecutionListener.class)
That should clear up any issues and keep your test suite running quickly.

#Autowired gives different object in each time of JUnit test

I have a class named TestedClass that is annotated with #Service("service").
I want to inject this class in my JUnit Test Class.
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:/META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml"})
public class JUnitTest {
#Autowired
TestedClass testedClass;
#Test
public void test() {
System.out.println(testedClass.toString());
}
And then I start my server and run this JUnitTest class.
I think that the output should be same in each time of test without stop the server. But it print different results.
TestedClass#1ed4b47
TestedClass#12f9e9
Why?
If you are running the test multiple times, different instances of the bean will get injected. Once you run the test the first bean will get destroyed. When you run the test again a new instance (singleton) must be made. The test framework will fire up an IOC container once per run of the test, the beans will not persist across multiple runs.
