Change locale for JUnit tests via Spring context - spring

All tests are launched by gradle.
I'd like to define the locale for all JUnit tests on a project. At first I thought about the following way:
public class TestCases {
static Locale defaultLocale = Locale.getDefault();
#BeforeClass
public static void setDefaultLocale() {
Locale.setDefault(Locale.UK);
}
// here goes bunch of tests
// ...
#AfterClass
public static void restoreLocale() {
Locale.setDefault(defaultLocale);
}
}
But it is too cumbersome, as I have hundreds of files to be changed.
I found also that running single test with -Duser.language=en parameter (I use Intellij) will do the job. But I am not able to change gradle scripts in order to provide this solution.
Is there any way to define Locale for JUnit tests via Spring context? Or maybe there is an other better way? Thanks.

One way to achieve this would be to add a test lifecycle hook that is fired before your suite is executed.
test.beforeSuite { TestDescriptor suite ->
System.setProperty('user.language', 'en')
}

Testing Gradle task that uses javaexec()

Suppose I have a custom Gradle task that uses ExecOperations.javaexec() in its code:
public class MyTask extends DefaultTask {
private final ExecOperations execOps
#Inject
public MyTask(ExecOperations execOps) {
this.execOps = execOps;
}
#TaskAction
public void run() {
ExecResult result = execOps.javaexec(spec -> {
// classpath is set to some jar with a main class
spec.classpath(...);
spec.args(...);
});
// Do more stuff with result
}
}
The issue I have is that I am not sure how I can create a Spock test fixture for it to validate that the jar is being run with the correct arguments without actually running the jar itself. (The jar makes remote calls, for example, which I want to avoid).
It seems like the only plausible way forward is to potentially find a way to expose the ExecOperations for testing and possibly replace it with a stub, along with turning the Action<JavaExecSpec> from a mere lambda to something more substantial. Any ideas would be appreciated.

JUnit5: Running a single "instance" of parameterized test

Let's say we have a parameterized test exampleTest in JUnit5:
public class ExampleTestClass {
#ParameterizedTest(name = "exampleTest[{0}]")
#MethodSource("StringParams#getStrings")
void exampleTest(String input) {
// ...
}
}
public class StringParams {
static Stream<String> getStrings() {
return Stream.of("a", "b", "c");
}
}
Is there any way to execute only one instantiation of exampleTest in JUnit5? In JUnit4+Maven+Surefire, the following would work:
mvn test -Dtest="ExampleTestClass#exampleTest[a]"
But it doesn't seem to work with JUnit5+Maven+Surefire. Is it because the test names that get into the test selecting process (which tests will be executed and which are going to be omitted) are different from the one specified in #ParameterizedTest(name = "exampleTest[{0}])?
I haven't tried it but the doc of surefire:test#test reads:
<test>
[...] Since 2.7.3, you can execute a limited number of methods in the test by adding #myMethod or #my*ethod. For example, -Dtest=MyTest#myMethod. This is supported for junit 4.x and TestNg.
Since 2.19 a complex syntax is supported in one parameter (JUnit 4, JUnit 4.7+, TestNG):
(Emphases by me.)

Spring profiles on integration tests class

we have selenium tests which are ran by java test class.
On local environment everything is ok, but I want to switch off those tests when run on jenkins.
So I use:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = Application.class)
#WebIntegrationTest("server.port=1234")
#Profile("!jenkins")
#ActiveProfiles("integrationtests")
public class LoginAndEditProfileSeleniumTest {
...
What works:
running mvn clean test run all tests locally, with integrationtests profile active. I dont want to pass any additional parameter.
What I want to achieve:
running mvn clean test -Dspring.profiles.active=jenkins switch off this test.
Can I merge somehow profile passed by parameter, ActiveProfile annotation and take Profile annotation into consideration? :)
//update:
Its possible to use class extending ActiveProfilesResolver:
public class ActiveProfileResolver implements ActiveProfilesResolver {
#Override
public String[] resolve(Class<?> testClass) {
final String profileFromConsole = System.getProperty("spring.profiles.active");
List<String> activeProfiles = new ArrayList<>();
activeProfiles.add("integrationtests");
if("jenkins".contains(profileFromConsole)){
activeProfiles.add("jenkins");
}
return activeProfiles.toArray(new String[activeProfiles.size()]);
}
}
but it seems to not to cooperate with #Profile anyway ( jenkins profile is active but test is still running ) .
#Profile has zero affect on test classes. Thus, you should simply remove that annotation.
If you want to enable a test class only if a given system property is present with a specific value, you could use #IfProfileValue.
However, in your scenario, you want to disable a test class if a given system property is present with a specific value (i.e., if spring.profiles.active contains jenkins).
Instead of implementing a custom ActiveProfileResolver, a more elegant solution would be to use a JUnit assumption to cause the entire test class to be ignored if the assumption fails.
This should work nicely for you:
import static org.junit.Assume.*;
// ...
#BeforeClass
public static void disableTestsOnCiServer() {
String profilesFromConsole = System.getProperty("spring.profiles.active", "");
assumeFalse(profilesFromConsole.contains("jenkins"));
}

Multiple runwith for a junit test class

Does any one know how to tackle this.
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#RunWith(Parametrized.class)
#ContextConfiguration("/META-INF/blah-spring-test.xml")
public class BlahTest
..
so i want to have a spring nature test and at the same time want to have it parameterized to avoid code duplication ...
You can't use two runners as it noted in the commented post. You should use the Parameterized runner as use Spring's TestContextManager to load the Spring context.
#Before
public void before() throws Exception {
new TestContextManager(getClass()).prepareTestInstance(this);
}
As of Spring Framework 4.2, JUnit-based integration tests can now be executed with JUnit rules instead of the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. This allows Spring-based integration tests to be run with alternative runners like JUnit’s Parameterized or third-party runners such as the MockitoJUnitRunner. See more details on spring doc.
Building upon John B's answer using TestContextManager, one can also call beforeTestMethod() and afterTestMethod() on it to better simulate SpringJUnit4ClassRunner's behaviour (for instance loading database with #Sql).
These methods require a Method parameter, so one can for instance take advantage of JUnit4's TestName rule to get the current test method's name and then retrieving it by reflection.
private static TestContextManager springTestContext
= new TestContextManager(BlahTest.class);
#Rule
public TestName testName = new TestName();
#Before
public void before() throws Exception {
springTestContext.prepareTestInstance(this);
springTestContext.beforeTestMethod(this,
getClass().getMethod(testName.getMethodName()));
}
#After
public void after() throws Exception {
springTestContext.afterTestMethod(this,
getClass().getMethod(testName.getMethodName()), null);
}

Retrieve and Modify the #ConfigurationContext programmatically via code?

How to Retrieve and Modify the #ConfigurationContext programmatically via code ?
I have a default configuration where it contains valid xml files.
Now i need to add an invalid configuration for a particular test case and test the same.
How to override, retrieve and modify the #ConfigurationContext programmatically via code ?
Thanks in advance,
Kathir
Disclaimer: I am assuming you are using JUnit since you didn't comment differently in your reply to my comment.
I think what you are trying to do does not make lot of sense, in my opinion it is still better to create a dedicated test class for your not-working configuration in order to be able to do more than one test. However:
annotate your test class with #RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) and #ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:/working-context.xml"}). In this way you can retrieve the configuration context in two ways: first, you can simply declare a field #Inject ApplicationContext context which will contain the working context. Or, you make your test class implements ApplicationContextAware and then write a public void setApplicationContext (ApplicationContext applicationContext). I would go for the second one since it will come in hand for changing the context programmatically.
write a not-working-context.xml and place it in your classpath
in the test method you want to fail, reload the application context with context = setApplicationContext(new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("not-working-context.xml")); and test all the errors you like.
though it is not good practice to stand on test case order, make sure your failing test will be executed as the last one (tests are executing alphabetically) so you don't have to reload the working context in the other tests.
In the end your test class will look like:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:/working-context.xml"})
public class TestClass implements ApplicationContextAware {
private ApplicationContext context;
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext context){
this.context = context;
}
//Other tests
#Test
public void zFailingTest() {
context = setApplicationContext(new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("not-working-context.xml"));
//your test
}
}
