What is the preferred way to configure a Spring Boot Test application? - java

I have configured my application using #Configuration annotated classes in the config package:
main
java
com.ourcompany
config
PersistenceConfig
JacksonConfig
persistence
...
Application
test
java
com.ourcompany
persistence
PersistenceTest
The configuration gets picked up by the Application class without a problem:
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
SpringApplication.run( Application.class, args );
}
}
However, the Test class:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#DataMongoTest
public class PersistenceTest {
...
}
does not pick up the configuration, unless I specify the name of the configuration class in the annotation:
#SpringBootTest(classes = PersistenceConfig.class)
I find this quite unintuitive, since I have to explicitly list all my config classes.
What is the idiomatic way to share the configuration in Spring Boot?
EDIT
In the end the problem was with including both #DataMongoTest and #SpringBootTest at the same time. Removing the #DataMongoTest and annotating the test class as:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = Application.class)
public class PersistenceTest {
...
}
Solved the problem. However, the question as to what is the best practice remains.

Recommended way to remove #DataJpaTest when used along with #SpringBootTest

We have an application that relies on Spring Boot 2.0. We are in the process of migrating it to JDK11 from JDK8. This also enabled us to update Spring Boot from 2.0 to 2.1. After reading through the changelog, it appeared there was any major change that needed for us.
Now the problem lies in where some test classes are annotated with both #SpringBootTest and #DataJpaTest. As per this and as well as the documentation, we are not supposed to use both together and instead we changed #DataJpaTest to #AutoConfigureTestDatabase. Here is how the code is:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = {A.class, B.class}, properties = {
"x=xxx",
"y=yyy"
})
#AutoConfigureTestDatabase // Used to be #DataJpaTest
#EnableJpaRepositories("com.test")
#EntityScan("com.test")
public class Test {
#TestConfiguration
public static class TestConfig {
// Some beans returning
}
// Tests
}
Now, we end up with the following error:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'entityManagerFactory' available
So as per this answer, we did something like this:
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages="com.test", entityManagerFactoryRef="entityManagerFactory")
Even after this we still end up with the same error. Is this the right way to remove #DataJpaTest? Or do we need to remove #SpringBootTest and do something else? Any sort of guidance is much appreciated.
The testclass is annotated with #DataJpaTest and #ContextConfiguration
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#DataJpaTest
#ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:test-context.xml" })
public abstract class AbstractTestCase {
protected static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AbstractTestCase.class);
}
We defined a test-context.xml. This is because the testmodule is isolated from all other modules (multi maven module project). In the test-context.xml we defined the component-scan for the base-package.
<context:component-scan base-package="de.example.base.package" />

How to restrict inner test #Configuration class to work only for this class?

Base test class for integration testing imports base configuration with component scan that includes almost all packages. In one test class I want to override some beans with Mocs, but this inner configuration is scanned and overrides beans for all tests. Is there some way to avoid this?
I've found the way I like mocking beans with by essentially having a separate MockObjectsConfig class with the mock objects I want using the standard Spring Context Configuration, and then import it alongside my real test config. You can also annotate your mock bean with #Profile and test with #ActiveProfiles if you need to prevent a conflict there.
#Configuration
#Profile("!test")
public class MyRealConfigClass {
#Bean
public YetAnotherClass yetAnotherClass() {
return new YetAnotherClass();
}
}
#Configuration
#Profile("test")
public class MockObjectsConfig {
#Bean
public YetAnotherClass yetAnotherClass() {
Mockito.mock(YetAnotherClass.class); // and add any thenReturns, answers, etc. here
}
}
Then include it in your test like so:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = { MyRealConfigClass.class, MockObjectsConfig.class)
#ActiveProfiles({"test"})
public class MyJunitTest {
#Autowired
private RestController restController;
}
Then your mock bean will be used and not the real one from the production config.

Spring Boot 1.5.4: exclude configuration class in unit test

I have a Spring Boot project, version 1.5.4, with a MongoDb configuration class:
#Configuration
public class MongoConfig {
#Value("${spring.data.mongo.client.uri:mongodb://localhost:27017/database}")
private String mongoURI;
#Bean
public MongoDbFactory mongoFactory() throws UnknownHostException{
return new SimpleMongoDbFactory(new MongoClientURI(mongoURI));
}
#Bean
public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() throws UnknownHostException, MongoException{
return new MongoTemplate(mongoFactory());
}
}
In my integration test i want use Embedded Mongo (https://github.com/flapdoodle-oss/de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo).
The problem is that the MongoDb configuration class start before the initialitation of Embedded mongo and try to connect to the database, so my test fail. If i remove the MongoConfig class, all test work well.
How can i exclude it only in my test execution?
Exclude the MongoDB autoconfiguration by using below annotation over your test class.
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={MongoAutoConfiguration.class,
MongoDataAutoConfiguration.class})
Then in the same path as your test class create a configuration class and define your mongo bean over there. This will get picked up during application start up
**#Configuration
public class MockConfigurations {
#Bean
#Primary
public MongoTemplate getMongoTemplate() {
//define your bean
return mongoTemplate;
}
}**
Please refer the answers here. It has two ways of excluding configurations.
Spring boot: apply #Configuration to certain package only
Update 1:
Alternatively, the most efficient way that I can think of is to use Spring profiles and load the profile for the tests
Define your TestConfiguration class and import it your test class.
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
#Import(MyTestConfiguration.class)
public class MyTests {
#Test
public void exampleTest() {
...
}
}
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-testing.html#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-detecting-config
Update 2:
For EmbeddedMongoAutoConfiguration please refer the detailed answers here.
How do you configure Embedded MongDB for integration testing in a Spring Boot application?
I solved it with this configuration on my test class:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ComponentScan({"it.app.server.dal","it.app.server.listener"})
#DataMongoTest() //mongoDB
public class ListenerTests {
...
}
The annotation #DataMongoTest() load my Embbedded MongoDb and with #ComponentScan i can just load the services and repositories wich i need in my test.

Replacing #SpringApplicationConfiguration by #SpringBootTest

I have a Spring Boot application with kinda lot unit tests. All the test classes are not annotated. They all just extend the following Abstract Class where they got their annotations from too:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = { MoneyjinnConfiguration.class })
#WebAppConfiguration
#SqlGroup({ #Sql(executionPhase = ExecutionPhase.BEFORE_TEST_METHOD, scripts = { "classpath:h2defaults.sql",
"classpath:testdata.sql" }) })
public abstract class AbstractTest {
}
Since Spring Boot 1.4.0 #SpringApplicationConfiguration is deprecated. I tried to replace it by #SpringBootTest and #ContextConfiguration(classes = { MoneyjinnConfiguration.class }) but now all my tests are failing with:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No auto-configuration attributes found. Is org.laladev.moneyjinn.businesslogic.service.impl.ContractpartnerAccountServiceTest annotated with EnableAutoConfiguration?
When I now annotate the concrete test-class with #EnableAutoConfiguration it continues to work again.
Honestly - I don't want to modify all my test classes by moving the #EnableAutoConfiguration from the abstract class to all concrete test classes. I kinda liked the approach of having all annotations in one central place - my AbstractTest class.
Am I missing something?

Override application.properties for integration tests in spring-boot app

I have a standard spring-boot app and I want to use MS SQL database for the production environment, whereas for integration tests I'd like to use h2 databse. The problem is that I wasn't able to find out, how to override the default application.properties file. Even though I was trying to follow some tutorials, I didn't come up with the right solution...maybe I'm just missing something...
The main class:
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableTransactionManagement
public class MyApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyApplication .class, args);
}
}
and the class with tests:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = MyApplication.class)
#WebIntegrationTest
public class MessageControllerTest {
#Autowired
MessageRepository messageRepository;
...
...
...
#Test
public void testSomething(){
...
...
...
...
}
}
So the question is, how to force the spring-boot to use application-test.properties file when running the tests, instead of application.properties, which should be used during the run time.
I tried for example to replace #WebIntegrationTest annotation with #TestPropertySource(locations="classpath:application-test.properties"), but this results in java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext.
Assuming you have a application-test.properties file in your app.
I do it in two ways :
1.CLI JVM Args
mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.jvmArguments="-Dspring.profiles.active=test
add the application-test.properties as an active profile.
add the spring.profiles.active=test in the application.properties and it will load your application-test.properties file.
As you pointed to in your answer annotate a class test with a specific active profile ( which is not suitable when having a large test classes i think ) #ActiveProfiles("test")
Actually it was pretty easy...after several hours of trying, I've realized that I just needed to annotate my test class with #ActiveProfiles("test") annotation.
#ActiveProfiles("test")
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = MyApplication.class)
#WebIntegrationTest
public class MessageControllerTest {
#Autowired
MessageRepository messageRepository;
...
...
...
#Test
public void testSomething(){
...
...
...
...
}
}
