I am new to Pact Contract testing and I am trying to create a Pact consumer test to validate a method that calls an api with get request. The api request is made using Spring Webclient.
I am not able to create the webclient object by just providing the Pact mockserver eg.
WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder().baseUrl(mockServer.getUrl()).build();
I am getting the exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: No suitable default ClientHttpConnector found. The explanation I get on the internet for that , is to include reactor-netty-http and I was able to get past this issue when i included that in the POM. But I don't think that is the right solution here because I need the mockserver to respond to the webclient request and it is not. Has anyone dealt with this issue before or am I doing this wrong?
Here is the code snippet:
public RequestResponsePact pactMethod(PactDslWithProvider builder) {
Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<>();
headers.put(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);
return builder.given("Consumer request")
.uponReceiving(" getResource call")
.path("/path")
.method("GET")
.willRespondWith()
.status(200)
.headers(headers)
.body(RESPONSE_JSON).toPact();
}
#Test
#PactTestFor(pactMethod = "pactMethod", port = "9999")
public void consumerTest(MockServer mockServer) {
WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder().baseUrl(mockServer.getUrl()).build();
ConsumerServiceClient consumerServiceClient = new ConsumerServiceClient(webClient);
Mono<Data> data = consumerServiceClient.getData();
StepVerifier.create(data)
.assertNext(resp -> {
try {
Value value = resp.getValue();
Assertions.assertFalse( value.isEmpty());
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("Unable to convert response to Value", e);
Assertions.fail();
}
}).expectComplete()
.verify();
}
The webclient call:
webClient.get()
.uri("/path")
.retrieve()
.onStatus(status -> status == HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND,
res -> Mono.error(new RunTimeException()))
.bodyToMono(clazz);
I have a Reactive controller which returns:
#ResponseBody
#GetMapping("/data")
public Mono<ResponseEntity<Data>> getData() {
//service call which returns Mono<Data> dataMono
Mono<ResponseEntity<Data>> responseEntityMono = dataMono
.map(data -> ResponseEntity.ok(data))
.doFinally(signalType -> {});
return responseEntityMono;
}
I am using WebTestClient to test this endpoint, but I want to extract the response entity for cucumber to validate further.
I tried this:
#Autowired private WebTestClient webTestClient;
public ResponseEntity get() {
EntityExchangeResult < ResponseEntity > response = webTestClient.get()
.uri(uriBuilder ->
uriBuilder
.path(VISUALIZATION_URL)
.build())
.header("Accepts", "application/json")
.exchange()
.expectStatus().isOk()
.expectHeader().contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
.expectBody(ResponseEntity.class)
.returnResult();
return response.getResponseBody();
}
but I am getting an error. I can get the JSON by doing:
public String get() {
BodyContentSpec bodyContentSpec = webTestClient.get()
.uri(uriBuilder ->
uriBuilder
.path(URL)
.build())
.header("Accepts", "application/json")
.exchange()
.expectStatus().isOk()
.expectHeader().contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
.expectBody();
return new String(bodyContentSpec.returnResult().getResponseBody());
}
But I am trying to see if I can get the whole ResponseEntity so that I can validate headers, caching headers, and body.
You will never be able to get a ResponseEntity in your test. WebTestClient.ResponseSpec returned from exchange() is the only way to check the answer from your Controller. ResponseEntity is just the object you return in your method but once Jackson serializes it, it is converted to a regular HTTP response (in your case with JSON in his body and regular HTTP headers).
I am trying to understand WebFlux but having some trouble with Webclient calls. I do not see
this line System.out.println("customerId = " + customerId); executes it seems like it does not call the endpoint.
But if I subscribe to webclient with .subscribe(customer -> {}); then I can see this line System.out.println("customerId = " + customerId); works
on the endpoint side. I dont understand why I have to subscribe to Mono call, or do I have to ? Thanks
#GetMapping("/customer/{customerId}")
#ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)
public Mono<Void> getCustomer(#PathVariable("customerId") int customerId) {
WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder().baseUrl("http://localhost:8080").build();
webClient.get()
.uri("/client/customer/{customerId}",customerId)
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(Customer.class);//here do I have to subscribe to actually activate to call?
return null;
}
#GET
#Path("/customer/{customerId}")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Customer getCustomer(#PathParam("customerId") int customerId) throws InterruptedException {
System.out.println("customerId = " + customerId); // I do not see the call comes thru if I dont subscribe to flux call.
return new Customer(customerId,"custName");
}
If you want to return the reactive type from your WebClient, you have to return it from your controller method like:
#GetMapping("/customer/{customerId}")
#ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)
public Mono<Customer> getCustomer(#PathVariable("customerId") int customerId) {
WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder().baseUrl("http://localhost:8080").build();
return webClient.get()
.uri("/client/customer/{customerId}",customerId)
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(Customer.class);
}
You can also return a Customer from your endpoint and block and wait for the result of your WebClient and leaving the reactive ecosystem like:
#GetMapping("/customer/{customerId}")
#ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)
public Customer getCustomer(#PathVariable("customerId") int customerId) {
WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder().baseUrl("http://localhost:8080").build();
return webClient.get()
.uri("/client/customer/{customerId}",customerId)
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(Customer.class)
.block()
}
If you are looking at a general introduction for Spring's WebClient, take a look at this tutorial
We wrote a small Spring Boot REST application, which performs a REST request on another REST endpoint.
#RequestMapping("/api/v1")
#SpringBootApplication
#RestController
#Slf4j
public class Application
{
#Autowired
private WebClient webClient;
#RequestMapping(value = "/zyx", method = POST)
#ResponseBody
XyzApiResponse zyx(#RequestBody XyzApiRequest request, #RequestHeader HttpHeaders headers)
{
webClient.post()
.uri("/api/v1/someapi")
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.body(BodyInserters.fromObject(request.getData()))
.exchange()
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.elastic())
.flatMap(response ->
response.bodyToMono(XyzServiceResponse.class).map(r ->
{
if (r != null)
{
r.setStatus(response.statusCode().value());
}
if (!response.statusCode().is2xxSuccessful())
{
throw new ProcessResponseException(
"Bad status response code " + response.statusCode() + "!");
}
return r;
}))
.subscribe(body ->
{
// Do various things
}, throwable ->
{
// This section handles request errors
});
return XyzApiResponse.OK;
}
}
We are new to Spring and are having trouble writing a Unit Test for this small code snippet.
Is there an elegant (reactive) way to mock the webClient itself or to start a mock server that the webClient can use as an endpoint?
We accomplished this by providing a custom ExchangeFunction that simply returns the response we want to the WebClientBuilder:
webClient = WebClient.builder()
.exchangeFunction(clientRequest ->
Mono.just(ClientResponse.create(HttpStatus.OK)
.header("content-type", "application/json")
.body("{ \"key\" : \"value\"}")
.build())
).build();
myHttpService = new MyHttpService(webClient);
Map<String, String> result = myHttpService.callService().block();
// Do assertions here
If we want to use Mokcito to verify if the call was made or reuse the WebClient accross multiple unit tests in the class, we could also mock the exchange function:
#Mock
private ExchangeFunction exchangeFunction;
#BeforeEach
void init() {
WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder()
.exchangeFunction(exchangeFunction)
.build();
myHttpService = new MyHttpService(webClient);
}
#Test
void callService() {
when(exchangeFunction.exchange(any(ClientRequest.class)))
.thenReturn(buildMockResponse());
Map<String, String> result = myHttpService.callService().block();
verify(exchangeFunction).exchange(any());
// Do assertions here
}
Note: If you get null pointer exceptions related to publishers on the when call, your IDE might have imported Mono.when instead of Mockito.when.
Sources:
WebClient
javadoc
WebClient.Builder

With the following method it was possible to mock the WebClient with Mockito for calls like this:
webClient
.get()
.uri(url)
.header(headerName, headerValue)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class);
or
webClient
.get()
.uri(url)
.headers(hs -> hs.addAll(headers));
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class);
Mock method:
private static WebClient getWebClientMock(final String resp) {
final var mock = Mockito.mock(WebClient.class);
final var uriSpecMock = Mockito.mock(WebClient.RequestHeadersUriSpec.class);
final var headersSpecMock = Mockito.mock(WebClient.RequestHeadersSpec.class);
final var responseSpecMock = Mockito.mock(WebClient.ResponseSpec.class);
when(mock.get()).thenReturn(uriSpecMock);
when(uriSpecMock.uri(ArgumentMatchers.<String>notNull())).thenReturn(headersSpecMock);
when(headersSpecMock.header(notNull(), notNull())).thenReturn(headersSpecMock);
when(headersSpecMock.headers(notNull())).thenReturn(headersSpecMock);
when(headersSpecMock.retrieve()).thenReturn(responseSpecMock);
when(responseSpecMock.bodyToMono(ArgumentMatchers.<Class<String>>notNull()))
.thenReturn(Mono.just(resp));
return mock;
}
You can use MockWebServer by the OkHttp team. Basically, the Spring team uses it for their tests too (at least how they said here). Here is an example with reference to a source:
According to Tim's blog post let's consider that we have the following service:
class ApiCaller {
private WebClient webClient;
ApiCaller(WebClient webClient) {
this.webClient = webClient;
}
Mono<SimpleResponseDto> callApi() {
return webClient.put()
.uri("/api/resource")
.contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.header("Authorization", "customAuth")
.syncBody(new SimpleRequestDto())
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(SimpleResponseDto.class);
}
}
then the test could be designed in the following way (comparing to origin I changed the way how async chains should be tested in Reactor using StepVerifier):
class ApiCallerTest {
private final MockWebServer mockWebServer = new MockWebServer();
private final ApiCaller apiCaller = new ApiCaller(WebClient.create(mockWebServer.url("/").toString()));
#AfterEach
void tearDown() throws IOException {
mockWebServer.shutdown();
}
#Test
void call() throws InterruptedException {
mockWebServer.enqueue(new MockResponse().setResponseCode(200)
.setHeader(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
.setBody("{\"y\": \"value for y\", \"z\": 789}")
);
//Asserting response
StepVerifier.create(apiCaller.callApi())
.assertNext(res -> {
assertNotNull(res);
assertEquals("value for y", res.getY());
assertEquals("789", res.getZ());
})
.verifyComplete();
//Asserting request
RecordedRequest recordedRequest = mockWebServer.takeRequest();
//use method provided by MockWebServer to assert the request header
recordedRequest.getHeader("Authorization").equals("customAuth");
DocumentContext context = >JsonPath.parse(recordedRequest.getBody().inputStream());
//use JsonPath library to assert the request body
assertThat(context, isJson(allOf(
withJsonPath("$.a", is("value1")),
withJsonPath("$.b", is(123))
)));
}
}
I use WireMock for integration testing. I think it is much better and supports more functions than OkHttp MockeWebServer. Here is simple example:
public class WireMockTest {
WireMockServer wireMockServer;
WebClient webClient;
#BeforeEach
void setUp() throws Exception {
wireMockServer = new WireMockServer(WireMockConfiguration.wireMockConfig().dynamicPort());
wireMockServer.start();
webClient = WebClient.builder().baseUrl(wireMockServer.baseUrl()).build();
}
#Test
void testWireMock() {
wireMockServer.stubFor(get("/test")
.willReturn(ok("hello")));
String body = webClient.get()
.uri("/test")
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class)
.block();
assertEquals("hello", body);
}
#AfterEach
void tearDown() throws Exception {
wireMockServer.stop();
}
}
If you really want to mock it I recommend JMockit. There isn't necessary call when many times and you can use the same call like it is in your tested code.
#Test
void testJMockit(#Injectable WebClient webClient) {
new Expectations() {{
webClient.get()
.uri("/test")
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class);
result = Mono.just("hello");
}};
String body = webClient.get()
.uri(anyString)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class)
.block();
assertEquals("hello", body);
}
Wire mocks is suitable for integration tests, while I believe it's not needed for unit tests. While doing unit tests, I will just be interested to know if my WebClient was called with the desired parameters. For that you need a mock of the WebClient instance. Or you could inject a WebClientBuilder instead.
Let's consider the simplified method which does a post request like below.
#Service
#Getter
#Setter
public class RestAdapter {
public static final String BASE_URI = "http://some/uri";
public static final String SUB_URI = "some/endpoint";
#Autowired
private WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder;
private WebClient webClient;
#PostConstruct
protected void initialize() {
webClient = webClientBuilder.baseUrl(BASE_URI).build();
}
public Mono<String> createSomething(String jsonDetails) {
return webClient.post()
.uri(SUB_URI)
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.body(Mono.just(jsonDetails), String.class)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class);
}
}
The method createSomething just accepts a String, assumed as Json for simplicity of the example, does a post request on a URI and returns the output response body which is assumed as a String.
The method can be unit tested as below, with StepVerifier.
public class RestAdapterTest {
private static final String JSON_INPUT = "{\"name\": \"Test name\"}";
private static final String TEST_ID = "Test Id";
private WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder = mock(WebClient.Builder.class);
private WebClient webClient = mock(WebClient.class);
private RestAdapter adapter = new RestAdapter();
private WebClient.RequestBodyUriSpec requestBodyUriSpec = mock(WebClient.RequestBodyUriSpec.class);
private WebClient.RequestBodySpec requestBodySpec = mock(WebClient.RequestBodySpec.class);
private WebClient.RequestHeadersSpec requestHeadersSpec = mock(WebClient.RequestHeadersSpec.class);
private WebClient.ResponseSpec responseSpec = mock(WebClient.ResponseSpec.class);
#BeforeEach
void setup() {
adapter.setWebClientBuilder(webClientBuilder);
when(webClientBuilder.baseUrl(anyString())).thenReturn(webClientBuilder);
when(webClientBuilder.build()).thenReturn(webClient);
adapter.initialize();
}
#Test
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
void createSomething_withSuccessfulDownstreamResponse_shouldReturnCreatedObjectId() {
when(webClient.post()).thenReturn(requestBodyUriSpec);
when(requestBodyUriSpec.uri(RestAdapter.SUB_URI))
.thenReturn(requestBodySpec);
when(requestBodySpec.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)).thenReturn(requestBodySpec);
when(requestBodySpec.body(any(Mono.class), eq(String.class)))
.thenReturn(requestHeadersSpec);
when(requestHeadersSpec.retrieve()).thenReturn(responseSpec);
when(responseSpec.bodyToMono(String.class)).thenReturn(Mono.just(TEST_ID));
ArgumentCaptor<Mono<String>> captor
= ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Mono.class);
Mono<String> result = adapter.createSomething(JSON_INPUT);
verify(requestBodySpec).body(captor.capture(), eq(String.class));
Mono<String> testBody = captor.getValue();
assertThat(testBody.block(), equalTo(JSON_INPUT));
StepVerifier
.create(result)
.expectNext(TEST_ID)
.verifyComplete();
}
}
Note that the 'when' statements test all the parameters except the request Body. Even if one of the parameters mismatches, the unit test fails, thereby asserting all these. Then, the request body is asserted in a separate verify and assert as the 'Mono' cannot be equated. The result is then verified using step verifier.
And then, we can do an integration test with wire mock, as mentioned in the other answers, to see if this class wires properly, and calls the endpoint with the desired body, etc.
I have tried all the solutions in the already given answers here.
The answer to your question is:
It depends if you want to do Unit testing or Integration testing.
For unit testing purpose, mocking the WebClient itself is too verbose and require too much code. Mocking ExchangeFunction is simpler and easier.
For this, the accepted answer must be #Renette 's solution.
For integration testing the best is to use OkHttp MockWebServer.
Its simple to use an flexible. Using a server allows you to handle some error cases you otherwise need to handle manually in a Unit testing case.
With spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner you can use Wiremock to mock the API responses. Here you can find a working example I described on medium. The AutoConfigureMockMvc annotation starts a Wiremock server before your test, exposing everything you have in the classpath:/mappings location (probably src/test/resources/mappings on disk).
#SpringBootTest
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
#AutoConfigureWireMock(port = 0)
class BalanceServiceTest {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(BalanceServiceTest.class);
#Autowired
private BalanceService service;
#Test
public void test() throws Exception {
assertNotNull(service.getBalance("123")
.get());
}
}
Here is an example for what a mapping file looks like. The balance.json file contains any json content you need. You can also mimic response delays or failures in static configuration files or programatically. More info on their website.
{
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"url": "/v2/accounts/123/balance"
},
"response": {
"status": 200,
"delayDistribution": {
"type": "lognormal",
"median": 1000,
"sigma": 0.4
},
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Cache-Control": "no-cache"
},
"bodyFileName": "balance.json"
}
}
I wanted to use webclient for unit testing, but mockito was too complex to setup, so i created a library which can be used to build mock webclient in unit tests. This also verifies the url, method, headers and request body before dispatching the response.
FakeWebClientBuilder fakeWebClientBuilder = FakeWebClientBuilder.useDefaultWebClientBuilder();
FakeRequestResponse fakeRequestResponse = new FakeRequestResponseBuilder()
.withRequestUrl("https://google.com/foo")
.withRequestMethod(HttpMethod.POST)
.withRequestBody(BodyInserters.fromFormData("foo", "bar"))
.replyWithResponse("test")
.replyWithResponseStatusCode(200)
.build();
WebClient client =
FakeWebClientBuilder.useDefaultWebClientBuilder()
.baseUrl("https://google.com")
.addRequestResponse(fakeRequestResponse)
.build();
// Our webclient will return `test` when called.
// This assertion would check if all our enqueued responses are dequeued by the class or method we intend to test.
Assertions.assertTrue(fakeWebClientBuilder.assertAllResponsesDispatched());
I highly recommend using Okhttp MockWebServer over mocking. The reason being MockWebServer is a much much cleaner approach.
Below is the code template you can use for unit testing WebClient.
class Test {
private ClassUnderTest classUnderTest;
public static MockWebServer mockWebServer;
#BeforeAll
static void setUp() throws IOException {
mockWebServer = new MockWebServer();
mockWebServer.start();
}
#BeforeEach
void initialize() {
var httpUrl = mockWebServer.url("/xyz");
var webClient = WebClient.create(httpUrl.toString());
classUnderTest = new ClassUnderTest(webClient);
}
#Test
void testMehod() {
var mockResp = new MockResponse();
mockResp.setResponseCode(200);
mockResp.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
mockResp.setBody(
"{\"prop\":\"some value\"}");
mockWebServer.enqueue(mockResp);
// This enqueued response will be returned when webclient is invoked
...
...
classUnderTest.methodThatInvkesWebClient();
...
...
}
#AfterAll
static void tearDown() throws IOException {
mockWebServer.shutdown();
}
}
Pay special attention to the initialize method. That's the only thing tricky here.
Path /xyz is not the base url, rather your resource path.
You don't need to tell the base url to MockWebServer.
Reason being, MockWebServer will spin up a server on the local host with some random port. And if you provide your own base url, your unit test will fail.
mockWebServer.url("/xyz")
This will give you base url i.e. the host and port on which MockWebServer is listening plus the resource path, say localhost:8999/xyz. You will need to create WebClient with this url.
WebClient.create(httpUrl.toString())
This will create the WebClient that make calls to the MockWebServer for your unit tests.
I'm trying to use new Spring WebFlux framework with kotlin. And I can not find where I am wrong with this code (myService):
fun foo(): Flux<ByteArray> {
val client = WebClient.create("http://byte-array-service")
return client
.get()
.uri("/info")
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
.exchange()
.flatMapMany {
r -> r.bodyToFlux(ByteArray::class.java)
}
}
This method returns Flux with 7893 bytes and I know there are not all bytes sent by byte-array-service. If I use old-style rest template all is ok
fun foo(): Flux<ByteArray> {
val rt = RestTemplate()
rt.messageConverters.add(
ByteArrayHttpMessageConverter())
val headers = HttpHeaders()
headers.accept = listOf(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
val entity = HttpEntity<String>(headers)
val r = rt.exchange("http://byte-array-service/info", HttpMethod.GET,entity, ByteArray::class.java)
return Flux.just(r.body)
}
it returns all 274124 bytes sent from byte-array-service
here is my consumer
fun doReadFromByteArrayService(req: ServerRequest): Mono<ServerResponse> {
return Mono.from(myService
.foo()
.flatMap {
accepted().body(fromObject(it.size))
})
}
If I understood your question right, and you just need to deliver the flux forward, this should work. I tested it on my own environment and had no problems reading all the bytes.
To get bytes:
fun foo(): Flux<ByteArray> =
WebClient.create("http://byte-array-service")
.get()
.uri("/info")
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
.retrieve()
.bodyToFlux(ByteArray::class.java)
Return bytes with response:
fun doReadFromByteArrayService(req: ServerRequest): Mono<ServerResponse> =
ServerResponse.ok().body(foo())
