This question is the continuation of question "SpringBoot: how to run tests twice, with two different config files".
I use to compile my project using mvn clean install. Doing that, maven also launches my unit tests and I immediately knows whether my development is correct.
I am actually working on a module that embeds a JMS connection. my module supports two JMS buses: EMS and AMQ. The bus to be used is specified in the configuration of my module
As a consequence, I need to create two profiles, one for EMS and one for AMQ.
However, when I launch my mvn clean install I want that maven launches automatically the tests using the two profiles, not only one; I don't want to have to launch it twice: mvn clean test -Dspring.profiles.active=ems ; mvn clean test -Dspring.profiles.active=amq
Thank you for help
You can pass the two profiles separated by a comma:
mvn clean install -Dspring.profiles.active=ems,amq
And then you'll have two active profiles:
The following profiles are active: ems,amq
I think that there is a miss-understanding; It seems that when I run my tests with spring.profiles.active=ems,amq:
all tests are launched one time
both profiles are enabled
What I want is different:
launch all tests TWO TIMES
first time with ems (and only ems) profile enabled
second time with amq (and only amq) profile enabled
For the moment, I do not succeed to find a solution; evey clue is welcome
Regards
I found a solution for my issue; a kind of trick based on:
overloading the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner
redefining the run() method in order to:
call force the use of the first profile
call the origial run() method
do the same with the other profile
public class MultiProfileTestRunner extends SpringJUnit4ClassRunner {
...
public void run(RunNotifier notifier) {
System.setProperty("spring.profiles.active", "ems");
super.run(notifier);
System.setProperty("spring.profiles.active", "amq");
super.run(notifier);
}
Between both calls to super.run() we have to 'force' Spring to reload its context, otherwize the profile change is not taken into account
I did it by using the annotation #DirtiesContext(classMode = AFTER_CLASS) on my tests
You can also specify in the src/test/resources/application.properties specific properties that apply every time Spring tests are run. Seems cleaner to me than specifying them on Maven command line. For your case :
spring.profiles.active=ems,amq

I am working on a large project and need to offer users the ability to optionally enable or disable local integration test cases ( For pipeline, test cases must be enforced).
First of all, welcome to the community.
Next, you can modify the test task inside the build.gradle file or maybe add a new task called integrationTest and implement your custom logic there.
As an instance, you can check this gist on Github: Separating tests from integration tests with Gradle
You can also use #Profile annotation to your integration test classes and run your tests with different profiles. You can read more about profiles using the following link: Spring Profiles
I have a #Service class where i'm caching some table data. I don't want those queries to run while building mvn install. Is there a way to ignore the file while building and it only execute when i start the server ?
It's a spring-boot application.
Here is background of my issue. I have initialized the spring boot app from http://start.spring.io/ site, which actually adds dummy application test file with SpringBootTest annotation and default contextLoads() with Test annotation, with an intention to initialize and execute all test cases, which needs to initialize and execute all code base. In my opinion this is not required, as we can have respective Test classes per controller/manager, which will give more controlled environment to hook up your Test setups and executions.
I have removed the default application Test file and included respective test classes for code coverage and quality. This way my beans are not executed at server startup time rather build time.
I need different profiles for a few things. First we have the issue of my databases. When I run local tests I expect to use one datasource. When I run an acceptance profile (for a CI acceptance build), I expect to use a different datasource. Finally, when I run acceptance not in test I expect to use a third datasource. How I imagined this would work is.
/src/main/resources/application.properties
/src/main/resources/application-acceptance.properties
/src/test/resources/application-test.properties
/src/test/resources/application-acceptance-test.properties
However when I run mvn clean install -Dspring.profiles.active=acceptance it does not run the application-accepatnce-test.properties.
Finally, I would like to be able to run a mvn install while running the tests but not the integrations test. For this I imagine I would add a -Dspring.profiles.active=nointegration and then simply add an #ActiveProfiles('!nointegration') on the integration tests.
I've had no luck with either of these. Is it even possible to get profiles on test runs?
If it helps I am using Spring Boot 1.3.0.RELEASE.
EDIT:
On my integration tests I have #ActiveProfiles("test"). Is there any way to generate the profile here based on the java-opt spring.profiles.active?
Well, I would like to have a maven goal execute-custom-tests inside my custom-maven-plugin that consists of running test methods (This tests are not unit tests). Something similar to test goal of soapui-pro-maven-plugin, for example.
Why? Basically the main objectives of the plugin are testing stuff (not unit testing) and the tests in src/test are for unit testing, right?
Being more specific I was thinking about something like this:
#Mojo (name = "run-custom-tests", LifecyclePhase.TEST)
public class TesterMojo extends AbstractMojo {
#Parameter(property = "someParameter")
private String someParameter;
// [...] parameters for test configuration
#Override
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException, MojoFailureException {
// Piece of code that executes a set of custom tests which procedure I specified.
}
}
When test fail, I would like them to be marked as failed tests not as failed executions. What's the right thing to do here? Show me the light, please.
Maven conventions support two types of testing out of the box: unit tests (via maven-surefire-plugin) and integration tests (via maven-failsafe-plugin).
By default, maven-surefire-plugin only looks for the following files with unit tests:
**/Test*.java
**/*Test.java
**/*TestCase.java
Similarly, default includes for integration tests run by maven-failsafe-plugin are the following:
**/IT*.java
**/*IT.java
**/*ITCase.java
So, as you can see, Maven lets each plugin figure out which tests it should care about. So it's perfectly fine for src/test/java to contain different types of tests, not just unit tests.
Different folder
You can put tests in a different folder too. One example would be if you have non-Java tests, since then src/test/java location doesn't make sense. Standard Maven plugins get project model from Maven to figure out the src/test/java location and some 3rd party plugins use the same mechanism. Depending on the plugin you use, you might want to check out its configuration or use maven-build-helper-plugin to add-test-source in order for some plugins to pick up another test folder automatically.
Different tests on demand
From the Maven perspective the core difference between unit tests and integration tests is the additional requirements for the later: they often need to have your project already packaged and they often need additional setup or teardown. But you yourself can set up multiple test goals during both test and integration-test phases. All major test frameworks support specifying which test suite should be run when (e.g., via groups). If your framework doesn't, you can still use plugin includes/excludes. It is a standard practice to combine this with Maven profiles in order to only run smoke tests by default (during development) and to run full tests on CI environment. You can use the same approach to enable anyone (a tester?) to run extra tests on demand, e.g., to run extra heavy tests when certain important part of the code has changed.
Let's say we have a project that consists of some Eclipse-projects and Spring 3.1, the final result is a WAR-file. We use WTP for development. All the unit tests and integration tests are working (our Maven does this automatically). The project runs in WTP with a local configuration. In other words everything looks as if it is ready to roll.
Now we want to test run that WAR-file with different sets of configuration files for different platforms. The test should only start the context and see if that causes any issues (missing/misspelt property in a property file, too many beans for auto-wiring, ...). AFAIK it isn't necessary to have access to (or it accessible to) the outside world. Basically it should only start the context, close it and continue with the next configuration. If one context fails, the build should break.
How should we do this? Can we do this with Maven? Something external?
EDIT: Forgot to say: We will run our stuff with Tomcat 6.
Sounds like you are talking about integration test.
You should look at the failsafe plug for this:
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/usage.html
Using jetty and maven-failsafe-plugin You need to bind one of
jetty:run, jetty:run-exploded or jetty:run-war to the
pre-integration-test phase with deamon set to true, bind
failsafe:integration-test to the integration-test phase, bind
jetty:stop to the post-integration-test phase and finally bind
failsafe:verify to the verify phase. Here is an example:
Another possibility is a selenium test. Selenium tests require the war to be deployed and running before the tests are run. So there are plugins that do all this.
Then you would have a very simple selenium test case that just made a simple http request to the app to see if it was running.
You would use a different profile for each different configuration you wanted to test.
