Inject a test resource (.xml file) into a test class by #Value and Resource type in Spring Boot

I have a product.xml file I want to have 'injected' easily into my test class by using the #Value annotation of Spring.
#SpringBootTest
#TestPropertySource(properties = {
"test.file.product=product.xml"
})
public class XmlToJsonParserTest {
#Value("${test.file.product}")
private Resource product;
#Autowired
private XmlToJsonParser xlToJsonParser;
#Test
public void shouldParseFromXml() throws IOException {
JsonNode node = xmlToJsonParser.getNodeFromXML(product.getFile());
assertThat(node).isNotNull();
}
}
My testfile is under src/test/resources/product.xml
I managed to get that working before but just can't figure out how I did it or what setup I had back the day.
In this case product is always null

Test spring configuration with ConditionalOnCloudPlatform annotation

I am trying to test my Spring configuration class which is annotated with ConditionalOnCloudPlatform.
Here is a very simplified example of the configuration class (I can't post my actual code):
#Configuration
#ConditionalOnCloudPlatform(CloudPlatform.CLOUD_FOUNDRY)
public class CloudConfigurationExample {
#Bean
public MyBean myBean(MyProperties properties) {
return new MyBean(properties.getParam);
}
}
To test I was hoping to do this:
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class CloudConfigurationExampleTest {
private CloudConfigurationExample cloudConfigurationExample;
private MyProperties myProperties;
#Before
public void setUp() {
myProperties = new MyProperies();
myProperties.setParam("test");
cloudConfigurationExample = new CloudConfigurationExample(myProperties);
}
#Test
public void test() {
MyBean myBean = cloudConfigurationExample.myBean();
// do asserts etc.
}
}
The issue I have is that ConditionalOnCloudPlatform is activated and expects a valid cloud connector to be present. As a result I get No suitable cloud connector found.
Does anyone know the correct way so get Junit to ignore this annotation? I tried setting an environment variable with VCAP_SERVICES, which is what this annotation expects, but it didn't work.
Thanks!

ConditionalOnCloudPlatform gets activated if environment contains properties VCAP_APPLICATION and VCAP_SERVICES
There are different ways to overcome this issue,
Firstly, ensure no properties containing above prefixes are passed.
Secondly, check for cloud profile #Profile("cloud") or ignore this class during test #Profile("!test") and many more ways.
code snippet:
CLOUD_FOUNDRY {
#Override
public boolean isActive(Environment environment) {
return environment.containsProperty("VCAP_APPLICATION")
|| environment.containsProperty("VCAP_SERVICES");
}
},

Spring Boot test with yaml properties by profile

So there's a lot of hits on this topic, but none of them have worked for me.
I have a very simple configuration class:
#Configuration
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "props")
public class TagIncluder {
private static final String PARAMETER_NAME = "tags";
private List<String> tags;
public TagIncluder() {
tags = new ArrayList<>();
}
public List<String> getTags() {
return tags;
}
#Handler
public void attachIncludedTags(Exchange exchange) {
exchange.getIn().setHeader(PARAMETER_NAME, tags);
}
}
I want this class to be able to load different property files. I am using yaml, and my file is named application-tag_test.yml. I have tried placing this file in src/main/resources, src/test/resources and src/test/resources/config, but it is never picked up.
This is the contents of the property file:
props:
tags:
- test
And finally, the test case:
#SpringBootTest
#ActiveProfiles("tag_test")
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = TagIncluder.class)
public class TagIncluderTest extends ExchangeTestSupport {
#Autowired
private TagIncluder sut;
#Test
public void attachIncludedTags_shouldUseTagsInFileIfFileSpecified() {
Exchange testExchange = createExchange();
sut.attachIncludedTags(testExchange);
Assertions.assertThat(testExchange.getIn().getHeader("tags", List.class))
.size().isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(1);
}
}
Additionally, I have tried placing an application.properties file in the above described locations with the following content:
spring.profiles.active=tag_test
What is required for Spring to set my yaml file as the desired configuration for my test class under test?
UPDATE
So after some exploration and trial and error, I have found that the following works:
#SpringBootTest
#ActiveProfiles("tag_test")
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class TagIncluderTest extends ExchangeTestSupport {
#Autowired
private TagIncluder sut;
#Test
public void attachIncludedTags_shouldUseTagsInFileIfFileSpecified() {
Exchange testExchange = createExchange();
sut.attachIncludedTags(testExchange);
Assertions.assertThat(testExchange.getIn().getHeader("tags", List.class))
.size().isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(1);
}
}
The difference here is that I've removed the #ContextConfiguration annotation and I let Spring take care of all of that.
It is a lot slower, and I would prefer specifying what is needed. I think this might break in the future, for instance if I add another configuration class that will start with the entire context and throw errors because those properties are not included in my application-tag_test.yml configuration.
Finally, any of the above locations I tried for the configuration is valid with the above annotations. The application.properties to specify a profile is not needed.
If anyone knows a way to specify what should be loaded into the context instead, I'd be very grateful for another solution.

With some guidance of Jans suggestion above, I've managed to isolate the test to a slice. Auto configured testing is written about here, however that only touches on Springs predefined #..Test annotations.
If you dive deeper into the #WebMvcTest, for instance, you will find the #ImportAutoConfiguration annotation.
Using this, we can tell our test class to enable auto configuration for a single slice of our application. A tutorial is available here. The full list of factories available for auto configuration can be found in the spring-boot repository.
Finally, this is the entire test class:
#ActiveProfiles("tag_test")
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = TagIncluder.class)
#ImportAutoConfiguration(classes = ConfigurationPropertiesAutoConfiguration.class)
public class TagIncluderTest extends ExchangeTestSupport {
#Autowired
private TagIncluder sut;
#Test
public void attachIncludedTags_shouldUseTagsInFileIfFileSpecified() {
Exchange testExchange = createExchange();
sut.attachIncludedTags(testExchange);
Assertions.assertThat(testExchange.getIn().getHeader("tags", List.class))
.size().isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(1);
}
}
The class under test is untouched.
So now we can:
Use profiles
Use yaml
Test only our desired class in Spring Context
This has been very enlightening :)

The Spring Boot Test documentations states that
External properties, logging, and other features of Spring Boot are installed in the context by default only if you use SpringApplication to create it.
This means that you need to have a working Spring Boot Application in order to test anything related to property loading in a test case.
Also, setting a list from properties needs a setter. This works:
#Configuration
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "props")
public class TagIncluder {
private List<String> tags;
public void setTags(List<String> tags) {
this.tags = tags;
}
public List<String> getTags() {
return tags;
}
}
#Component
public class MyComponent {
#Autowired
TagIncluder tagIncluder;
}
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
#SpringBootTest
#ActiveProfiles("tag_test")
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class TagIncluderTest {
#Autowired
private TagIncluder sut;
#Test
public void attachIncludedTags_shouldUseTagsInFileIfFileSpecified() {
System.out.println(sut.getTags());
}
}

Spring: How to set system properties in integration test when #ComponentScan is used?

Summary: Adding the #ComponentScan (or #SpringBootApplication) annotation to my application class changes the behaviour of SpringApplicationBuilder.properties() and breaks my integration test.
I am using a cut-down version of the Spring Boot sample:
spring-boot-sample-websocket-jetty
I have removed everything except what is required for the "echo" example (and I'm using Spring Boot 1.3.3).
I am left with the following SampleJettyWebSocketsApplication code:
#Configuration
#EnableAutoConfiguration
//#ComponentScan // --- If I uncomment this the test breaks ---
#EnableWebSocket
public class SampleJettyWebSocketsApplication
implements WebSocketConfigurer {
#Override
public void registerWebSocketHandlers(WebSocketHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addHandler(echoWebSocketHandler(), "/echo").withSockJS();
}
#Bean
public EchoService echoService() {
return new DefaultEchoService("Did you say \"%s\"?");
}
#Bean
public WebSocketHandler echoWebSocketHandler() {
return new EchoWebSocketHandler(echoService());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SampleJettyWebSocketsApplication.class, args);
}
}
And the following test class (code straight from the Spring Boot samples):
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(SampleJettyWebSocketsApplication.class)
#WebIntegrationTest({"server.port=0"})
#DirtiesContext
public class SampleWebSocketsApplicationTests {
private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(SampleWebSocketsApplicationTests.class);
#Value("${local.server.port}")
private int port = 1234;
#Test
public void echoEndpoint() throws Exception {
logger.info("Running the echoEndpoint test. Port: " + port + ". Path: /echo/websocket");
ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder(
ClientConfiguration.class, PropertyPlaceholderAutoConfiguration.class)
.properties("websocket.uri:ws://localhost:" + this.port
+ "/echo/websocket")
.run("--spring.main.web_environment=false");
long count = context.getBean(ClientConfiguration.class).latch.getCount();
AtomicReference<String> messagePayloadReference = context
.getBean(ClientConfiguration.class).messagePayload;
context.close();
assertThat(count).isEqualTo(0);
assertThat(messagePayloadReference.get())
.isEqualTo("Did you say \"Hello world!\"?");
}
#Configuration
static class ClientConfiguration implements CommandLineRunner {
#Value("${websocket.uri}")
private String webSocketUri;
private final CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
private final AtomicReference<String> messagePayload = new AtomicReference<String>();
#Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
logger.info("Waiting for response: latch=" + this.latch.getCount());
if (this.latch.await(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)) {
logger.info("Got response: " + this.messagePayload.get());
}
else {
logger.info("Response not received: latch=" + this.latch.getCount());
}
}
#Bean
public WebSocketConnectionManager wsConnectionManager() {
logger.info("Setting up SimpleClientWebSocketHandler...");
WebSocketConnectionManager manager = new WebSocketConnectionManager(client(),
handler(), this.webSocketUri);
manager.setAutoStartup(true);
return manager;
}
#Bean
public StandardWebSocketClient client() {
return new StandardWebSocketClient();
}
#Bean
public SimpleClientWebSocketHandler handler() {
logger.info("Creating new SimpleClientWebSocketHandler using SimpleGreetingService...");
return new SimpleClientWebSocketHandler(greetingService(), this.latch,
this.messagePayload);
}
#Bean
public GreetingService greetingService() {
return new SimpleGreetingService();
}
}
}
Running the Application and the unit test as above all is fine but if I uncomment the #ComponentScan annotation on the application class the application still runs OK but the test breaks with the error:
Could not resolve placeholder 'websocket.uri' in string value "${websocket.uri}".
I have read at setting-the-run-time-properties-on-springapplicationbuilder that:
The properties you configure on SpringApplicationBuilder are made available in your application's Environment, not as system properties.
And in the #ComponentScan javadoc that:
If specific packages are not defined, scanning will occur from the package of the class that declares this annotation.
But I don't understand why the behaviour changes when the #ComponentScan annotation is added.
How can I set the System Property websocket.uri in the test when the application class is annotated with #ComponentScan (or #SpringBootApplication)?
(I aim to use #SpringBootApplication, which incorporates #ComponentScan, but I can't until I get this working.)

There are several ways to add a system properties.
Solution 1:
Add arguments for Test in format of -Dabc=xyz, that will add property abc to system properties.
Solution 2:
Just like floor 0.
Solution 3:
Just let spring-boot load the properties, such as classpath:bootstrap.yml, and you can specify whatever properties in there.
The annotation #ComponentScan will enable auto scanning based on current package or ComponentScan#basePackages. Which means SampleWebSocketsApplicationTests.ClientConfiguration will be scanned cause they have same base package samples.websocket.jetty.
However, SampleWebSocketsApplicationTests.ClientConfiguration should not be parsed by SpringJUnit4ClassRunner cause we need parse it in SampleWebSocketsApplicationTests#echoEndpoint manually. It's should only be parsed by ApplicationContext created in echoEndpoint().
What's more, #SpringBootApplication equals to use #Configuration and #EnableAutoConfiguration and #ComponentScan together, so comment out #ComponentScan or #SpringBootApplication will have same effect.
My suggestion is move class SampleWebSocketsApplicationTests into package samples.websocket.jettytest(different from samples.websocket.jetty) and enable #ComponentScan or #SpringBootApplication on SampleJettyWebSocketsApplication and try again. It should work.

Adding my thoughts on this (from whatever i could gather from your code):
-Try adding the property websocket.uri in you application properties or if your project contains src/test/resources/test.properties then add it into your test.properties file.#ComponentScan should pick it up.
-Else,you could just say :
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("websocket.uri","<your uri>");
SpringApplication.run(SampleJettyWebSocketsApplication.class, args);
}
Hope it helps.

How to avoid BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field error

I have the following spring test configuration with different profiles:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan (value = {"uk.co.test.ws" })
public class SpringTestConfig
{
#Profile( "local")
#PropertySource( "classpath:/config/local/settings.properties" )
public static class SpringTestConfigLocal
{
#Autowired
private Environment environment ;
#Bean(name= "baseUrl" )
public String setBaseUrl()
{
return environment .getRequiredProperty("baseurl.protocol" )+"://" +environment .getRequiredProperty( "baseurl.host");
}
}
and then created a base class that takes in the base url
> #RunWith (SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. class) #ContextConfiguration
> (classes = { SpringTestConfig. class }) public class BaseWsTest {
> #Autowired
> String baseUrl;
which then gets extended to other test classes like below:
public class SampleFTest extends BaseWsTest
{
#Test
public void hello() throws FileNotFoundException, Exception
{
System. out .println("base url: " + baseUrl );
When run using normal maven clean install the tests works but if I was to run it by right-clicking the method it gets a
Error creating bean with name 'uk.co.test.ws.service.base.SampleFTest': Injection of autowired dependencies failed;

You forgot to choose the profile in your SampleFTest class, you should add this line:
#ActiveProfiles(profiles = "local")
In this way the SpringTestConfigLocal will be initialized and the baseUrl bean available
EDIT: I would add a property in a .properties file so I could use a variable myprofile:
#ActiveProfiles(profiles = "${myprofile}")
And eventually, if you don't want to change the value from time to time, I would apply some logic in order to load one property file or another.
EDIT 2: I'm sorry but this doesn't work because the file is loaded after the assigment of the annotation EL value, but you can add this:
spring.profiles.active=local
to the property file and this will do the same as putting the annotation #IntegrationTest("local"). This is the code I tried:
#TestPropertySource(value="classpath:/config/test.properties")//, properties={"myaddress=cane", "myprofile=local"})
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = Application.class)
#WebAppConfiguration
#IntegrationTest("${myaddress}")
//#ContextConfiguration
//#ActiveProfiles(profiles = "${myprofile}")
public class BasicJUnitTest{
protected Logger logger;
protected MockMvc mockMvc;
#Autowired
private Environment env;
#Value("${myaddress}" )
String myval;
public BasicJUnitTest(){
this.logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
}
#Test
public void test(){
logger.info("hola"+myval+ " " + env.getActiveProfiles()[0]);
}
}
