Spring injection: #MockBean #Repository is not injected - spring

Question

I'm trying to #MockBean a #Repository annotated class:
#Repository
public interface ApplicationDao extends MongoRepository<Application, String> {}
I'm injecting it into a #Service annotated class:
#Service
public class AuthorizationService {
private ApplicationDao appsDao;
private List<Application> allowedApplications;
#Autowired
public AuthorizationService(ApplicationDao appsDao) {
this.appsDao = appsDao; //<<MOCKED INJECTED BEAN>>
this.fillApplications();
}
private void fillApplications() {
this.appsDao.findAll() //<<MOCKED method>>
.forEach(entry -> {
this.allowedApplications.put(entry.getName(), entry);
});
}
public bool isAuthorized(Application application) {
return this.allowedApplications
.stream()
.anyMatch(app -> app.getId().equals(application.getId()));
}
}
My test mocking configuration looks like:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest()
public class GroupReferencesTest {
private #Autowired AuthorizationService;
private #MockBean ApplicationDao applicationDao;
#Before
public void setUp() {
Application testApplication = new Application();
testApplication.setName("test-application");
List<Application> allowedApplications = new ArrayList<Application>();
allowedApplications.add(testApplication);
Mockito
.when(this.applicationDao.findAll())
.thenReturn(allowedApplications);
}
#Test
public void test() {
Application app = new Application();
app.getId("test-application");
assertTrue(this.authorizationService.isAuthorized(app)); //<<FAILS>>
}
}
Nevertheless, my mocked object is not injected. I mean, when my AuthorizationService calls its injected ApplicationDao is returns an empty list instead of my mocked list.
I've tried to use #MockBean(name="applicationDao") as well. The behavior is the same.
I've also tried to configure my mocked bean using this code:
#TestConfiguration
public class RestTemplateTestConfiguration {
#Bean("applicationDao")
#Primary
public static ApplicationDao mockApplicationDao() {
ApplicationDao mock = Mockito.mock(ApplicationDao.class);
Application testApplication = new Application();
testApplication.setName("test-application");
List<Application> allowedApplications = new ArrayList<Application>();
allowedApplications.add(testApplication);
Mockito
.when(mock.findAll())
.thenReturn(allowedApplications);
return mock;
}
}
However, it doesn't works right.
Application class is:
public class Application {
private String id;
//setters & getters
}
Any ideas?

Answer 1

First things first - the type of test. Answer: Unit test.
You are starting Spring context that manages a lifecycle of AuthorizationService and then you are trying to inject mock. What really happens is that Spring IoC container is injecting a real ApplicationDao (the one managed by Spring IoC container) into the AuthorizationService.
Solution:
Manage lifecyle of AuthorizationService by your test runner (like MockitoJUnitRunner and inject ApplicationDao mock into it):
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class GroupReferencesTest {
private #InjectMocks AuthorizationService authorizationService;
private #Mock ApplicationDao applicationDao;
#Before
public void setUp() {
Application testApplication = new Application();
testApplication.setName("test-application");
List<Application> allowedApplications = new ArrayList<Application>();
allowedApplications.add(testApplication);
Mockito
.when(this.applicationDao.findAll())
.thenReturn(allowedApplications);
}
#Test
public void test() {
Application app = new Application();
app.getId("test-application");
assertTrue(this.authorizationService.isAuthorized(app));
}
}

Working example
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = {AuthorizationService.class})
public class GroupReferencesTest {
#Autowired
private AuthorizationService;
#MockBean
private ApplicationDao applicationDao;
#Test
public void test() {
//given
Mockito.when(applicationDao.findAll()).thenReturn(emptyList());
//when & then
assertTrue(authorizationService.isAuthorized(app));
}
}
