I have cucumber working with spring-boot and the context and components are available but #SpringBootApplication.main is not being run so various connections aren't available. Is there a way to make Cucumber invoke the spring-boot main method? This works for the context and components but does not invoke TheApplication.main:
#SpringBootApplication
public class TheApplication {
... connect to stuff
and the steps file:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringBootApplication
#ContextConfiguration(classes = TheApplication.class, loader = SpringBootContextLoader.class)
#WebAppConfiguration
public class TestCreateSteps {
...
A bit of judicious refactoring solved the issue. Moving connection stuff to the class that needs the connection and using TimeUnit in the test to wait for it to initialise. Test is now working:
#SpringBootTest
#ContextConfiguration()
public class TestCreateSteps {
// Previously controlled by TheApplication
// AccountService now controls itself via application.properties
#Autowired
private AccountService accountService;
...
}

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 got a DataMongoTest which is executing fine but it does not load the interceptors that are configured
#Configuration
public class EntityInterceptors extends AbstractMongoEventListener<Entity> { ... }
#DataMongoTest
#ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
#ActiveProfiles({"default", "test"})
public class MongoTest {
#Autowired
private DataRepository repo;
...
}
The repository gets correctly wired and is accessible in the tests. Its not an embedded DB but an external test db that gets cleaned up before tests.
If I execute this inside a application environment the interceptors all load. But they don't load inside the test class. How can I add the class to the execution context without using it as SpringBootTestwhere all the other unneded stuff is also loaded?
DataMongoTest is not enough to run for this:
#ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
// Add Config and all dependent Interceptors
#SpringBootTest(classes = {
InterceptorConfig.class,
TopEntityInterceptor.class,
CascadedEntityInterceptor.class
})
// MONGO INIT
#ImportAutoConfiguration
#AutoConfigurationPackage
#AutoConfigureDataMongo
#ActiveProfiles({"default", "test"})
class InterceptorTest {
#Autowired TopEnitityRepository repo;
}
You can now use the repo and check if the interceptors did their job after persisting and if interceptors also cascade.
I have a spring boot application. In the main class annotated with #SpringBootApplication, I have imported some configurations, using the import annotation.
#SpringBootApplication
#Import({ MyConfiguration.class })
public class MySpringBootApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new SpringApplicationBuilder(MySpringBootApp.class).build().run(args);
}
}
Now when I run my junit test class, annotated with "#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)", it loads the application, and the imported configuartion classes in the main class, are also loaded (that is MyConfiguration).
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MyTest {
....
}
Is there a way to override the import, so that MyConfiguration is not loaded while running tests.
I understand you need to use a SpringRunner but you want to use a different configuration. In that case you simply annotate your Test class with #ContextConfiguration(classes = SomeConfigurationClass.class)
So it would look like this:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = SomeConfigurationClass.class)
public class MyTest {
....
}
If you do not want any Spring Container, just remove #RunWith(...)
If in your TestCase class there is this annotations:
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = {Application.class})
this will cause the Application.class, implementing the CommandLineRunner interface, to run the required method
public void run(String... args) throws Exception
I still think this is, mostly, a not wanted behaviour, since in your test environment you may not want to launch the entire application.
I have in mind two solution to circumvent this problem:
to remove the CommandLineRunner interface from my Application class
to have a different context for testing
Both this solution requires lot of coding.
Do you have a more convenient solution?
Jan's solution can be achieved easier.
In your test class, activate the "test" profile:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ActiveProfiles("test")
public class MyFancyTest {}
In your CommandLineRunner set the profile to NOT test:
#Component
#Profile("!test")
public class JobCommandLineRunner implements CommandLineRunner {}
Then you don't have to manually set the profile in the Application.
As mentioned in the spring documentation you can use #ContextConfiguration with a special initializer:
ConfigDataApplicationContextInitializer is an ApplicationContextInitializer that you can apply to your tests to load Spring Boot application.properties files. You can use it when you do not need the full set of features provided by #SpringBootTest
In this example anyComponent is initialized and properties are injected, but run(args) methods won't be executed. (Application.class is my main spring entry point)
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = Application.class,
initializers = ConfigDataApplicationContextInitializer.class)
public class ExtractorTest {
#Autowired
AnyComponent anyComponent;
#Test
public void testAnyComponent() {
anyComponent.anyMethod(anyArgument);
}
}
You can define a test configuration in the same package as your application that looks exactly the same, except that it excludes beans implementing CommandLineRunner. The key here is #ComponentScan.excludeFilters:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(excludeFilters = #ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, value = CommandLineRunner.class))
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class TestApplicationConfiguration {
}
Then, just replace the configuration on your test:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = TestApplicationConfiguration.class)
public class SomeApplicationTest {
...
}
No CommandLineRunner will be executed now, because they are not part of the configuration.
I'm a bit late to the party, but a reasonable approach is to mark the bean with #ConditionalOnProperty, e.g.
#ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = "job.autorun", name = "enabled", havingValue = "true", matchIfMissing = true)
public CommandLineRunner myRunner() {...}
The following annotation will then disable it in tests:
#SpringBootTest(properties = {"job.autorun.enabled=false"})
If you have a mocking framework installed (e.g. MockMVC) you can create a mock instance of the CommandLineRunner implementation, more or less disabling it:
#MockBean
private TextProcessor myProcessor;
Previous answers didn't work wor me. I ended up using different profiles - example for the init method in Spring Boot:
SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(AppConfig.class);
app.setAdditionalProfiles("production");
app.run(args);
This is not executed during the tests so we're safe here.
All tests have their own profile "test" (which is useful in many other ways, too):
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ActiveProfiles("test")
public class MyFancyTest {}
The command-line runner is annotated with the "production" profile so the tests ignore it:
#Component
#Profile("production")
public class JobCommandLineRunner implements CommandLineRunner {}
I solve this by not implementing CommandLineRunner. Just get a bean from the context, and call a method on it, passing argv. That way you will get the same result, and the application won't start automatically when running the tests.
We've a bunch of JUnit test cases (Integration tests) and they are logically grouped into different test classes.
We are able to load Spring application context once per test class and re-use it for all test cases in a JUnit test class as mentioned in http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/testing.html
However, we were just wondering if there is a way to load Spring application context only once for a bunch of JUnit test classes.
FWIW, we use Spring 3.0.5, JUnit 4.5 and use Maven to build the project.
Yes, this is perfectly possible. All you have to do is to use the same locations attribute in your test classes:
#ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:test-context.xml")
Spring caches application contexts by locations attribute so if the same locations appears for the second time, Spring uses the same context rather than creating a new one.
I wrote an article about this feature: Speeding up Spring integration tests. Also it is described in details in Spring documentation: 9.3.2.1 Context management and caching.
This has an interesting implication. Because Spring does not know when JUnit is done, it caches all context forever and closes them using JVM shutdown hook. This behavior (especially when you have a lot of test classes with different locations) might lead to excessive memory usage, memory leaks, etc. Another advantage of caching context.
To add to Tomasz Nurkiewicz's answer, as of Spring 3.2.2 #ContextHierarchy annotation can be used to have separate, associated multiple context structure. This is helpful when multiple test classes want to share (for example) in-memory database setups (datasource, EntityManagerFactory, tx manager etc).
For example:
#ContextHierarchy({
#ContextConfiguration("/test-db-setup-context.xml"),
#ContextConfiguration("FirstTest-context.xml")
})
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class FirstTest {
...
}
#ContextHierarchy({
#ContextConfiguration("/test-db-setup-context.xml"),
#ContextConfiguration("SecondTest-context.xml")
})
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class SecondTest {
...
}
By having this setup the context that uses "test-db-setup-context.xml" will only be created once, but beans inside it can be injected to individual unit test's context
More on the manual: http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/testing.html#testcontext-ctx-management (search for "context hierarchy")
One remarkable point is that if we use #SpringBootTests but again use #MockBean in different test classes, Spring has no way to reuse its application context for all tests.
Solution is to move all #MockBean into an common abstract class and that fix the issue.
#SpringBootTests(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT, classes = Application.class)
public abstract class AbstractIT {
#MockBean
private ProductService productService;
#MockBean
private InvoiceService invoiceService;
}
Then the test classes can be seen as below
public class ProductControllerIT extends AbstractIT {
// please don't use #MockBean here
#Test
public void searchProduct_ShouldSuccess() {
}
}
public class InvoiceControllerIT extends AbstractIT {
// please don't use #MockBean here
#Test
public void searchInvoice_ShouldSuccess() {
}
}
Basically spring is smart enough to configure this for you if you have the same application context configuration across the different test classes. For instance let's say you have two classes A and B as follows:
#ActiveProfiles("h2")
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class A {
#MockBean
private C c;
//Autowired fields, test cases etc...
}
#ActiveProfiles("h2")
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class B {
#MockBean
private D d;
//Autowired fields, test cases etc...
}
In this example class A mocks bean C, whereas class B mocks bean D. So, spring considers these as two different configurations and thus would load the application context once for class A and once for class B.
If instead, we'd want to have spring share the application context between these two classes, they would have to look something as follows:
#ActiveProfiles("h2")
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class A {
#MockBean
private C c;
#MockBean
private D d;
//Autowired fields, test cases etc...
}
#ActiveProfiles("h2")
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class B {
#MockBean
private C c;
#MockBean
private D d;
//Autowired fields, test cases etc...
}
If you wire up your classes like this, spring would load the application context only once either for class A or B depending on which class among the two is ran first in the test suite. This could be replicated across multiple test classes, only criteria is that you should not customize the test classes differently. Any customization that results in the test class to be different from the other(in the eyes of spring) would end up creating another application context by spring.
create your configuaration class like below
#ActiveProfiles("local")
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class )
#SpringBootTest(classes ={add your spring beans configuration classess})
#TestPropertySource(properties = {"spring.config.location=classpath:application"})
#ContextConfiguration(initializers = ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer.class)
public class RunConfigration {
private ClassLoader classloader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(S2BXISINServiceTest.class);
//auto wire all the beans you wanted to use in your test classes
#Autowired
public XYZ xyz;
#Autowired
public ABC abc;
}
Create your test suite like below
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#Suite.SuiteClasses({Test1.class,test2.class})
public class TestSuite extends RunConfigration {
private ClassLoader classloader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestSuite.class);
}
Create your test classes like below
public class Test1 extends RunConfigration {
#Test
public void test1()
{
you can use autowired beans of RunConfigration classes here
}
}
public class Test2a extends RunConfigration {
#Test
public void test2()
{
you can use autowired beans of RunConfigration classes here
}
}
