How to setup TestExecutionListener in the application.properties - spring

Question

I'm running a spring boot project with a large number of test and I want to use extent report. I have created a TestExecutionListener and I use the setting in one test.
I don't want to copy the same annotation in all test.
Where do I need to set the TestExecutionListener? and how?
Is it possible to set up in the application.properties?

Answer 1

The spring-test module declares all default TestExecutionListeners in its META-INF/spring.factories properties file.
Creating a simple Spring application:
MyBean:
#Component
public class MyBean {
public void doSomething() {
System.out.println("-- in MyBean.doSomething() method --");
}
}
AppConfig:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
public class AppConfig {
}
Writing a TestExecutionListener:
public class MyListener implements TestExecutionListener {
#Override
public void beforeTestClass(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
System.out.println("MyListener.beforeTestClass()");
}
#Override
public void prepareTestInstance(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
System.out.println("MyListener.prepareTestInstance()");
}
#Override
public void beforeTestMethod(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
System.out.println("MyListener.beforeTestMethod()");
}
#Override
public void afterTestMethod(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
System.out.println("MyListener.afterTestMethod()");
}
#Override
public void afterTestClass(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
System.out.println("MyListener.afterTestClass");
}
}
Writing JUnit test:
A TextExecutionListener can be registered via #TestExecutionListeners annotation:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = AppConfig.class)
#TestExecutionListeners(value = {MyListener.class,
DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class})
#TestPropertySource("/test.properties")
public class MyTests {
#Autowired
private MyBean myBean;
#Test
public void testDoSomething() {
myBean.doSomething();
}
}

EDIT:
Declaring test property sources
Test properties files can be configured via the locations or value attribute of #TestPropertySource as shown in the following example.
Both traditional and XML-based properties file formats are supported — for example, "classpath:/com/example/test.properties" or "file:///path/to/file.xml".
Each path will be interpreted as a Spring Resource. A plain path — for example, "test.properties" — will be treated as a classpath resource that is relative to the package in which the test class is defined. A path starting with a slash will be treated as an absolute classpath resource, for example: "/org/example/test.xml". A path which references a URL (e.g., a path prefixed with classpath:, file:, http:, etc.) will be loaded using the specified resource protocol. Resource location wildcards (e.g. */.properties) are not permitted: each location must evaluate to exactly one .properties or .xml resource.
#ContextConfiguration
#TestPropertySource("/test.properties")
public class MyTests {
// class body...
}
