Create JUnit for private method with ContextRefreshedEvent argument - java

I want to create a JUnit test for this private method:
#Component
public class ReportingProcessor {
#EventListener
private void collectEnvironmentData(ContextRefreshedEvent event) {
}
}
I tried this:
#SpringBootApplication
public class ReportingTest {
#Bean
ServletWebServerFactory servletWebServerFactory() {
return new TomcatServletWebServerFactory();
}
#Test
public void reportingTest() throws NoSuchMethodException, SecurityException, IllegalAccessException, IllegalArgumentException, InvocationTargetException {
GenericApplicationContext parent = new GenericApplicationContext();
parent.refresh();
ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder(Configuration.class).parent(parent).run();
ContextRefreshedEvent refreshEvent = new ContextRefreshedEvent(context);
ReportingProcessor instance = new ReportingProcessor();
Method m = ReportingProcessor.class.getDeclaredMethod("collectEnvironmentData", ContextRefreshedEvent.class);
m.setAccessible(true);
m.invoke(instance, refreshEvent);
}
}
But I get exception: Caused by: org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Unable to start ServletWebServerApplicationContext due to missing ServletWebServerFactory bean.
What is the proper way to implement a mocked object for ContextRefreshedEvent?

There is a whole lot of debate/insights on why you should not/avoid writing unit tests for private methods. Have a look at this SO question that should help you decide and provide more insights - How do I test a private function or a class that has private methods, fields or inner classes?
But, if you want to achieve what you have posted anyway; let me break down a few things which are failing the test.
Spring Boot tests need to be annotated with #SpringBootTest (if using JUnit 5) and additionally with #RunWith(SpringRunner.class) if you are using JUnit 4
You should not be creating an instance of your class with the new operator in the test, let the Test context automatically loads it using #Autowired or any other similar mechanism to inject the class.
To mock your input parameter and to invoke the private method you can use Powermockito library. Please note that if your scenario would not have required invoking a private method then mockito library should be enough for almost all mocking scenarios.
Below is the test that should work:
#SpringBootTest
public class ReportingProcessorTest {
#Autowired
ReportingProcessor reportingProcessor;
#Test
public void reportingTest() throws Exception {
ContextRefreshedEvent contextRefreshedEvent = PowerMockito.mock(ContextRefreshedEvent.class);
Whitebox.invokeMethod(reportingProcessor, "collectEnvironmentData", contextRefreshedEvent);
}
}

Injecting mock before Spring's post-construct phase

Basically, the question is in the title.
I faced a problem that in post-construct phase my bean (that is autowired in the bean that is going through post-construct phase right now) is already mocked, but all the behavior described by Mockito.when() doesn't work, all the calls return null.
While searching I found this solution.
But is it possible to make it work without using any 3rd party libraries?
Test class:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = TestApplicationConfiguration.class)
public class ServiceTest {
#Autowired
#Qualifier("test")
private PCLPortType pclPortType;
#MockBean
private ClearingHelper сlearingHelper;
#MockBean
private OrganizationCacheRepository organizationCacheRepository;
#Before
public void setup() throws Exception{
OperationResultWithOrganizationSystemIdMappingList res = new OperationResultWithOrganizationSystemIdMappingList();
when(clearingHelper.getOrgIdSystemIdMapping(any(Keycloak.class))).thenReturn(res);
}
#Test
public void test() throws Exception{
pclPortType.call("123");
}
}
Test config:
#TestConfiguration
public class TestApplicationConfiguration {
#Bean(name = "test")
public PCLPortType pclPortTypeForTest() throws JAXBException {
...
}
#Bean
public Keycloak keycloak() {
return Mockito.mock(Keycloak.class);
}
}
Component where I want to get mocked beans:
#Component
public class OrganizationCacheJob {
private static final Logger logger =
LogManager.getLogger(OrganizationCacheJob.class);
private final ObjectFactory<Keycloak> factory;
private final ClearingHelper clearingHelper;
private final OrganizationCacheRepository organizationCacheRepository;
#Autowired
public OrganizationCacheJob(ObjectFactory<Keycloak> factory,
ClearingHelper clearingHelper,
OrganizationCacheRepository organizationCacheRepository) {
this.factory = factory;
this.clearingHelper = ClearingHelper;
this.organizationCacheRepository = organizationCacheRepository;
}
#PostConstruct
public void updateCacheRepository() {
doUpdateCacheRepository();
}
#Scheduled(cron = "${organization.cache.schedule}")
public void start() {
logger.info("Starting update organization cache.");
doUpdateCacheRepository();
logger.info("Job finished.");
}
private void doUpdateCacheRepository() {
try {
Keycloak keycloak = factory.getObject();
OperationResultWithOrganizationSystemIdMappingList orgIdSystemIdMapping = clearingHelper.getOrgIdSystemIdMapping(keycloak);
if (orgIdSystemIdMapping != null) {
orgIdSystemIdMapping.getContent().forEach(o -> organizationCacheRepository.saveOrgIdsSystemsIdsMappings(o.getOrgId(), o.getId()));
logger.debug("Was saved {} orgIds", orgIdSystemIdMapping.getContent().size());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Error fetching whole mapping for org and systems ids. Exception: {}", e);
}
}
}
So, in post-construct phase of OrganizationCacheJob I want to get res when calling clearingHelper, but instead I get null.
ClearingHelper is a regular Spring bean marked as a #Component with public methods.
Ahh ok I just realized - when you start your test case, whole env is up and running first, then you advance to testing phase. So, translating to your case - first you got injection and post-constructs called, then #Before method is done, thus the result.
So as you can see, code says more than all the words you could put in your original post.
If it is possible for you, use spies insteed of mocks. If it is not possible to construct that, you will have to redesign your tests to not rely on post construct.
In this case, since you want the same post-construct behavior for every test case, provide own factory method for given mock (like you did with keycloak) and move when-doReturn there. It will be guaranteed that it will happen before post construct.

Using #PostConstruct in a test class causes it to be called more than once

I am writing integration tests to test my endpoints and need to setup a User in the database right after construct so the Spring Security Test annotation #WithUserDetails has a user to collect from the database.
My class setup is like this:
#RunWith(value = SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
#WithUserDetails(value = "email#address.com")
public abstract class IntegrationTests {
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Autowired
private Service aService;
#PostConstruct
private void postConstruct() throws UserCreationException {
// Setup and save user data to the db using autowired service "aService"
RestAssuredMockMvc.mockMvc(mockMvc);
}
#Test
public void testA() {
// Some test
}
#Test
public void testB() {
// Some test
}
#Test
public void testC() {
// Some test
}
}
However the #PostConstruct method is called for every annotated #Test, even though we are not instantiating the main class again.
Because we use Spring Security Test (#WithUserDetails) we need the user persisted to the database BEFORE we can use the JUnit annotation #Before. We cannot use #BeforeClass either because we rely on the #Autowired service: aService.
A solution I found would be to use a variable to determine if we have already setup the data (see below) but this feels dirty and that there would be a better way.
#PostConstruct
private void postConstruct() throws UserCreationException {
if (!setupData) {
// Setup and save user data to the db using autowired service "aService"
RestAssuredMockMvc.mockMvc(mockMvc);
setupData = true;
}
}
TLDR : Keep your way for the moment. If later the boolean flag is repeated in multiple test classes create your own TestExecutionListener.
In JUnit, the test class constructor is invoked at each test method executed.
So it makes sense that #PostConstruct be invoked for each test method.
According to JUnit and Spring functioning, your workaround is not bad. Specifically because you do it in the base test class.
As less dirty way, you could annotate your test class with #TestExecutionListeners and provide a custom TestExecutionListener but it seem overkill here as you use it once.
In a context where you don't have/want the base class and you want to add your boolean flag in multiple classes, using a custom TestExecutionListener can make sense.
Here is an example.
Custom TestExecutionListener :
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.web.client.TestRestTemplate;
import org.springframework.test.context.TestContext;
import org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractTestExecutionListener;
public class MyMockUserTestExecutionListener extends AbstractTestExecutionListener{
#Override
public void beforeTestClass(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
MyService myService = testContext.getApplicationContext().getBean(MyService.class);
// ... do my init
}
}
Test class updated :
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
#WithUserDetails(value = "email#address.com")
#TestExecutionListeners(mergeMode = MergeMode.MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS,
value=MyMockUserTestExecutionListener.class)
public abstract class IntegrationTests {
...
}
Note that MergeMode.MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS matters if you want to merge TestExecutionListeners coming from the Spring Boot test class with TestExecutionListeners defined in the #TestExecutionListeners of the current class.
The default value is MergeMode.REPLACE_DEFAULTS.

Excluding an ApplicationListener #Component in Spring Boot during tests

I am trying to have my test unit up and running, and I have encountered a weird issue. My application uses an ApplicationListener class annotated as a #Component to perform an operation during startup.
During tests I have mocked the service that contains the logic, but I found that even though Mockito's when instructions work well in controller scope, the bean is not initialized for this ApplicationListener class: instead of returning what I define in the test unit, it returns either false or null - depending on the data type returned by each method in the service.
Since I have not found any way to initialize the mocked service from the test unit for the ApplicationListener class, I have decided to exclude it. To do so I have tried different approaches, being the one most often used that of creating a test application context and change its configuration. Unfortunately, nothing I have seen is working - so I am here asking for help. If possible, I would prefer not touching the ApplicationListener class and do all related coding in the test code.
I am interested in any of the two possible solutions, if they can be done:
1.- Get the mocked behaviour during the ApplicationListener execution, but I have read somewhere that this cannot be done
2.- Exclude the #Component from the test unit somehow.
TestUnit.Java:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = TestApplication.class, webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class TestConfigurationService {
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Autowired
private WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext;
#MockBean
private MockService mockService;
private void initMockBean () throws Exception {
when(mockService.isDoingSomething()).thenReturn(true);
}
#Before
public void setup() throws Exception {
// Spring mock context application setup
this.mockMvc = webAppContextSetup(webApplicationContext).build();
// Initialize ConsulService mock bean
initMockBean ();
}
}
TestApplication.java
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#ComponentScan(basePackages="my.base.package", excludeFilters = #Filter(type = FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, classes = StartupConfiguration.class))
public class TestApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(TestApplication.class, args);
}
}
Besides what is shown in the code, I have also tried this annotation in file TestApplication.java:
#SpringBootApplication(exclude={StartupConfiguration.class})
StartupConfiguration.java
#Component
public class StartupConfiguration implements ApplicationListener<ContextRefreshedEvent> {
#Autowired
private ConfigurationService configurationService;
#Override
public void onApplicationEvent(final ContextRefreshedEvent event) {
try {
configurationService.updateConfiguration();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException ("Error", e);
}
}
}
ConfigurationService.java
public interface ConfigurationService {
public void updateConfiguration () throws Exception;
}
ConfigurationServiceImpl.java
#Service
#Transactional
public class ConfigurationServiceImpl implements ConfigurationService {
#Autowired
private MService mockService;
#Override
public void updateConfiguration() throws Exception {
if (mockService.isDoingSomething()==false)
throw new Exception ("Something went wrong");
}
}
Versions:
Spring Boot 1.5.4.RELEASE,
Java 1.8
You can create mock bean of the same type and mark it with #Primary annotation to replace real bean. You can achieve this by having test such configuration:
#Configuration
#Import(TestApplication.class)
public class TestConfiguration {
#Bean
#Primary
public ConfigurationService configurationService() {
return Mockito.mock(ConfigurationService.class);
}
}
then get this mock in test:
...
public class TestConfigurationService {
...
#Autowired
ConfigurationService configurationService;
#Before
public void setUp() {
when(mockService.isDoingSomething()).thenReturn(true);
}
}
Thanks, araxn1d. Your answer gave me the clue to solve this issue.
I mocked the StartupConfiguration class in TestUnit.java:
#MockBean
private StartupConfiguration startupConfiguration;
Though in this case I was lucky: application listeners don't have returning methods, so they don't need when test configuration. If I had required that some method there returned for example true or a value, this method would not apply.
But at least for application listeners, this is enough.

Spring's #Retryable not working when running JUnit Test

I have this test:
#RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class myServiceTest {
#InjectMocks
myService subject;
private myService spy;
#Before
public void before() {
spy = spy(subject);
}
#Test
public void testing() {
when(spy.print2()).thenThrow(new RuntimeException()).thenThrow(new RuntimeException()).thenReturn("completed");
spy.print1();
verify(spy, times(3)).print2();
}
and then I have:
#Service("myService")
public class myService extends myAbstractServiceClass {
public String print1() {
String temp = "";
temp = print2();
return temp;
}
#Retryable
public String print2() {
return "completed";
}
}
then I have this interface(which my abstractService implements):
public interface myServiceInterface {
#Retryable(maxAttempts = 3)
String print1() throws RuntimeException;
#Retryable(maxAttempts = 3)
String print2() throws RuntimeException;
}
but, I get a runtimeexception thrown when I run the test, leading me to believe it is not retrying. Am I doing this wrong?
This is because you are not using the SpringJUnitClassRunner.
Mockito and your own classes are not taking the #Retryable annotation in account. So you rely on the implementation of Spring to do so. But your test does not activate Spring.
This is from the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner JavaDoc:
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner is a custom extension of JUnit's BlockJUnit4ClassRunner which provides functionality of the Spring TestContext Framework to standard JUnit tests by means of the TestContextManager and associated support classes and annotations.
To use this class, simply annotate a JUnit 4 based test class with #RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) or #RunWith(SpringRunner.class).
You should restructure your test class at least to something like:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes=MyConfig.class)
public class MyServiceTest {
#Configuration
#EnableRetry
#Import(myService.class)
public static class MyConfig {}
...
What am I doing there?
activate the Spring JUnit hook
specify the Spring context configuration class
define the spring configuration and import your service as a bean
enable the retryable annotation
Are there some other pitfalls?
Yes, you are using Mockito to simulate an exception. If you want to test this behaviour with Spring like this, you should have a look at Springockito Annotations.
But be aware of that: Springockito you will replace the spring bean completely which forces you to proxy the call of your retryable. You need a structure like: test -> retryableService -> exceptionThrowingBean. Then you can use Springockito or what ever you like e.g. ReflectionTestUtils to configure the exceptionThrowingBean with the behaviour you like.
You should reference the interface type of your service in your test: MyServiceInterface
And last but not least. There is a naming convention nearly all Java developers follow: class names have first letter of each internal word capitalized
Hope that helps.
Another way:
#EnableRetry
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes={ServiceToTest.class})
public class RetryableTest {
#Autowired
private ServiceToTest serviceToTest;
#MockBean
private ComponentInsideTestClass componentInsideTestClass;
#Test
public void retryableTest(){
serviceToTest.method();
}
}
I think you should let Spring manage the bean, create the appropriate proxy and handle the process.
If you want to mock specific beans, you can create mocks and inject them to the service under test.
1st option could be unwrapping proxied service, creating mocks and manually injecting them:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = {RetryConfiguration.class})
#DirtiesContext
public class TheServiceImplTest {
#Autowired
private TheService theService;
#Before
public void setUp(){
TheService serviceWithoutProxy = AopTestUtils.getUltimateTargetObject(theService);
RetryProperties mockRetryProperties = Mockito.mock(RetryProperties.class);
ReflectionTestUtils.setField(serviceWithoutProxy, "retryProperties", mockRetryProperties);
}
#Test
public void shouldFetch() {
Assert.assertNotNull(theService);
}
}
In this example, I mocked one bean, RetryProperties, and injected into the service. Also note that, in this approach you are modifying the test application context which is cached by Spring. This means that if you don't use #DirtiesContext, service will continue its way with mocked bean in other tests. You can read more here
Second option would be creating a test specific #Configuration and mock the depended bean there. Spring will pick up this new mocked bean instead of the original one:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = {RetryConfiguration.class, TheServiceImplSecondTest.TestConfiguration.class})
public class TheServiceImplSecondTest {
#Autowired
private TheService theService;
#Test
public void shouldFetch() {
Assert.assertNotNull(theService);
}
#Configuration
static class TestConfiguration {
#Bean
public RetryProperties retryProperties() {
return Mockito.mock(RetryProperties.class);
}
}
}
In this example, we have defined a test specific configuration and added it to the #ContextConfiguration.

Spring context with jUnit for #Configurable code: NullPointerException for Resource

I have a production class which looks like
#Configurable
public class MyProductionClass {
#Resource private MyResource resource;
private String param;
public MyProductionClass(String param) {
this.param = param
}
public void aMethod() {
resource.doSomething();
//whatever, the previous line throws NullPointerException when testing
}
}
and a test class like
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:/test-context.xml"})
#DirtiesContext(classMode = ClassMode.AFTER_CLASS)
#TestExecutionListeners(listeners = {DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class})
public class MyProductionClassTest {
private MyProductionClass underTest;
#Test
public void aMethodTest() {
underTest = new MyProductionClass("aString");
underTest.aMethod();
}
}
I have some log and I can see Spring context being initialized correctly, with all beans described in test-context.xml happily created, including resource.
But, when the test runs underTest.aMethod() a NullPointerException is thrown saying resource is null.
I use the same initialization (new MyProductionClass("aString")) in production and there everything works flawlessly. Is there something I am missing when using #Configurable classes with jUnit?
Versions are:
Spring 3.2.4
jUnit 4.11
EDIT My understanding of #Configurable: this issue may come from a misunderstanding of this feature. I understood it works so that I am not force to statically declare my #Configurable class in any Spring context (either Java or XML based), but so that I can initialized the class with the new operator and magically dependency are injected in the class. However, I do not know if this can work for tests (and I do not find any reason why it should not, a new is a new, whether it comes from a test class or from a production one)
you must get the bean from spring container
#Autowired
private MyProductionClass underTest;
...
#Test
public void aMethodTest() {
underTest.aMethod();
}
