How to unittest a class using RestTemplate offline? - java

I have a class which has direct dependency on the RestTemplate. I wish I have a JUnit test of it, offline.
How could I mock a RestTemplate in my unittest?

Sping 3.0 introduced RestTemplate. Since version 3.2, the Spring MVC test framework has provided the class MockRestServiceServer for unit testing client REST code.

I suggest refactoring your client code to remove the direct dependency on RestTemplate, and replace it with references to RestOperations, which is the interface implemented by RestTemplate. and the one you should be coding to.
You can then inject a stub or mock of RestOperations into your code for unit testing, and inject a RestTemplate when using it for real.

You can use the Mock classes in package org.springframework.mock.web.
Usually you will need MockHttpServletRequest and MockHttpServletResponse, but if you need more control you may also need others, e.g. MockRequestDispatcher.
Both of these implement the corresponding Servlet interfaces but add convenience methods for testing (and, most importantly: they work without a real HTTP connection).
You can find the Mock classes in the spring-test jar (accessible through Maven)
Update: it seems that the above classes are no great help for RestTemplate after all. What you will need is to create a mock ClientHttpRequestFactory, and I'm surprised to see that there isn't one in the above package. Here is some code to get you started (haven't tested it):
public class MockClientHttpRequestFactory implements
ClientHttpRequestFactory{
// overwrite this if you want
protected MockClientHttpResponse createResponse(){
return new MockClientHttpResponse();
}
// or this
protected HttpStatus getHttpStatusCode(){
return HttpStatus.OK;
}
// or even this
#Override
public ClientHttpRequest createRequest(final URI uri,
final HttpMethod httpMethod) throws IOException{
return new MockClientHttpRequest(uri, httpMethod);
}
public class MockClientHttpResponse implements ClientHttpResponse{
private final byte[] data = new byte[10000];
private final InputStream body = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
private final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
private HttpStatus status;
#Override
public InputStream getBody() throws IOException{
return body;
}
#Override
public HttpHeaders getHeaders(){
return headers;
}
#Override
public HttpStatus getStatusCode() throws IOException{
return getHttpStatusCode();
}
#Override
public String getStatusText() throws IOException{
return status.name();
}
#Override
public void close(){
try{
body.close();
} catch(final IOException e){
throw new IllegalStateException(e);
}
}
}
class MockClientHttpRequest implements ClientHttpRequest{
private final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
private final HttpMethod method;
private final URI uri;
private final OutputStream body = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
MockClientHttpRequest(final URI uri, final HttpMethod httpMethod){
this.uri = uri;
method = httpMethod;
}
#Override
public OutputStream getBody() throws IOException{
return body;
}
#Override
public HttpHeaders getHeaders(){
return headers;
}
#Override
public HttpMethod getMethod(){
return method;
}
#Override
public URI getURI(){
return uri;
}
#Override
public ClientHttpResponse execute() throws IOException{
return createResponse();
}
}
}

spring-social-test contains mockup classes that help write tests for RestTemplate. There are also some examples on how to use it within the git repository (e.g. OAuth1TemplateTest).
Please keep in mind that there's currently a Spring feature request (#SPR-7951) to move these classes to spring-web.

Spring Boot / Mockito: Mocking RestTemplate but Response Always Null

I'm having problems mocking the response object of my Test Class when using Mockito. I'm trying to test an exception, for this I need one of the attributes of the Class that returns from the POST request. I've successfully mocked the RestTemplate but my when().thenReturn() is not returning anything and I'm getting a null pointer exception at the "if" validation. If anyone could help me on this problem I would be very grateful.
Here is my Service Class:
#Service
public class CaptchaValidatorServiceImpl implements CaptchaValidatorService{
private static final String GOOGLE_CAPTCHA_ENDPOINT = "someEndpoint";
private String stage;
private String captchaSecret;
private RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(getClientHttpRequestFactory());
#Override
public void checkToken(String token) throws Exception{
MultiValueMap<String,String> requestMap = new LinkedValueMap<>();
requestMap.add("secret", captchaSecret);
requestMap.add("response", token);
try{
CaptchaResponse response = restTemplate.postForObject(GOOGLE_CAPTCHA_ENDPOINT,
requestMap, CaptchaResponse.class);
if(!response.getSuccess()){
throw new InvalidCaptchaTokenException("Invalid Token");
}
} catch (ResourceAccessException e){
throw new CaptchaValidationNotPossible("No Response from Server");
}
}
private SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory getClientHttpRequestFactory(){
...
}
}
And here is my Test Class:
#SpringBootTest
public class CaptchaValidatorTest{
#Mock
private RestTemplate restTemplate;
#InjectMocks
#Spy
private CaptchaValidatorServiceImpl captchaValidatorService;
private CaptchaResponse captchaResponse = mock(CaptchaResponse.class);
#Test
public void shouldThrowInvalidTokenException() {
captchaResponse.setSuccess(false);
Mockito.when(restTemplate.postForObject(Mockito.anyString(),
ArgumentMatchers.any(Class.class), ArgumentMatchers.any(Class.class)))
.thenReturn(captchaResponse);
Exception exception = assertThrows(InvalidCaptchaTokenException.class, () ->
captchaValidatorService.checkToken("test"));
assertEquals("Invalid Token", exception.getMessage());
}
}
In my opinion it could be a problem with ArgumentMatchers.
Method postForObject require parameters as String, MultiValueMap(or parent) and Class, but you set in Mockito.when: anyString() (correct), any(Class.class) (but MultiValueMap is passed - probably incorrect) and any(Class.class) (correct).
Try use:
Mockito.when(restTemplate.postForObject(ArgumentMatchers.any(String.class),
ArgumentMatchers.any(MultiValueMap.class), ArgumentMatchers.any(Class.class)))
.thenReturn(captchaResponse);
EDIT:
It seems to me that the CaptchaResponse in the test is unnecessarily a mock:
private CaptchaResponse captchaResponse = mock(CaptchaResponse.class);
but if You want this in that way, I think u need to replace:
captchaResponse.setSuccess(false);
to something like:
Mockito.when(captchaResponse.getSuccess()).thenReturn(false);

Batch operations in JAX-RS

Context
I am currently working on a JavaEE project with a lot of existing resource based JAX-RS services. For this project we would like to have batch processing to prevent a lot of separate calls and, most importantly, to execute these different methods in a transactional context for rollback purposes with the native MongoDB driver. We want to avoid manually creating new methods for all possible combinations. I could not find any solution to this issue on Stack Overflow so I started analyzing the implementation of RESTEasy and I came up with the following solution.
Below a simplified/pseudo version of my code:
JAX-RS method
#POST
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Path("execute")
public Response executeBatch(BatchRequestWrapper batchRequestWrapper) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
{
// Retrieve information from context
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(HttpServletRequest.class);
HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse = ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(HttpServletResponse.class);
ServletContext servletContext = ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(ServletContext.class);
HttpResponse httpResponse = ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(HttpResponse.class);
SynchronousDispatcher dispatcher = (SynchronousDispatcher) ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(Dispatcher.class);
ResteasyHttpHeaders httpHeaders = (ResteasyHttpHeaders) ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(HttpHeaders.class);
ResteasyUriInfo uriInfo = (ResteasyUriInfo) ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(UriInfo.class);
// Create Mongo Client Session object and save it in a Singleton which contains a ThreadLocal object so that DAO layer can reuse the client session object for all methods.
// Iterate over all the methods and invoke dispatcher
for (BatchRequest batchRequest : batchRequestWrapper.getBatchRequests())
{
// Update URI based on specific endpoint
uriInfo.setRequestUri(URI.create(batchRequest.getUri()));
// Temporary use mock response for the response
MockHttpResponse response = new MockHttpResponse();
// Create httpservletinput message from RESTEasy lib to pass to the dispatcher. It will automatically resolve all parameters/methods etc.
HttpServletInputMessage request = new HttpServletInputMessage(httpServletRequest, httpServletResponse, servletContext, httpResponse, httpHeaders, uriInfo, batchRequest.getHttpMethod(), dispatcher);
// Set body in input stream if body is specified. This will inject the correct 'body' parameters in the methods. Query and Path parameters are already resolved in the method above.
if(!Strings.isNullOrEmpty(batchRequest.getBody()))
{
InputStream targetStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(batchRequest.getBody().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
request.setInputStream(targetStream);
}
// Actual invoke
dispatcher.invoke(request, response);
// Do something with response object
}
// Clean or abort session based on invoke result
return Response.ok().entity(null).build();
}
Request Object
public class BatchRequestWrapper
{
private List<BatchRequest> batchRequests;
public List<BatchRequest> getBatchRequests()
{
return batchRequests;
}
public void setBatchRequests(List<BatchRequest> batchRequests)
{
this.batchRequests = batchRequests;
}
}
public class BatchRequest
{
private String uri;
private String httpMethod;
private String body;
public String getUri()
{
return uri;
}
public void setUri(String uri)
{
this.uri = uri;
}
public String getHttpMethod()
{
return httpMethod;
}
public void setHttpMethod(String httpMethod)
{
this.httpMethod = httpMethod;
}
public String getBody()
{
return body;
}
public void setBody(String body)
{
this.body = body;
}
}
My solution works with one new REST method and let's me reuse all the existing JAX-RS annotated methods in the project. Before I actually fully implement this and bring it to production, I would like to know if this is the way to actually do this or are there better alternatives? I am not a big fan of the hard dependency on RESTEasy though.

Spring Boot #Async annotation and MockRestServiceServer

I'm using Spring Boot 2.0.6 and Java 10. I did the following service that only hits an external rest api using RestTemplate.
#Service
#Slf4j
public class DbApiClientImpl implements DbApiClient {
private final String URL_DELIMITER = "/";
private RestTemplate restTemplate;
private String url;
public DbApiClientImpl(
RestTemplateBuilder restTemplate,
#Value("${dbapi.namespace}") String namespace,
#Value("${dbapi.url}") String uri,
#Value("${dbapi.username}") String username,
#Value("${dbapi.password}") String password) {
this.restTemplate = restTemplate.basicAuthorization(username,
password).build();
this.url = namespace.concat(uri);
}
#Override
#Async("asyncExecutor")
public Merchant fetchMerchant(String id) {
ResponseEntity<Merchant> response =
restTemplate.getForEntity(url.concat(URL_DELIMITER).concat(id),
Merchant.class);
return response.getBody();
}
}
And the following test using MockeRestServiceServer:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#RestClientTest(value = {DbApiClient.class})
public class DbApiClientTest {
private static final String TEST_NAME = "test";
private static final String TEST_NAME_BAD_REQUEST = "test-
1";
private static final String TEST_NAME_SERVER_ERROR =
"test-2";
#Autowired DbApiClient dbApiClient;
#Value("${dbapi.namespace}")
private String namespace;
#Value("${dbapi.url}")
private String dbApiUrl;
#Autowired private MockRestServiceServer mockServer;
#Autowired private ObjectMapper objectMapper;
#Test
public void test() throws
JsonProcessingException, IOException {
Merchant mockMerchantSpec = populateFakeMerchant();
String jsonResponse =
objectMapper.writeValueAsString(mockMerchantSpec);
mockServer
.expect(manyTimes(),
requestTo(dbApiUrl.concat("/").concat(TEST_NAME)))
.andExpect(method(HttpMethod.GET))
.andRespond(withSuccess(jsonResponse,
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
assertNotNull(dbApiClient.fetchMerchant(TEST_NAME));
}
The thing is that I'm getting the following exception when I run the test "No further request expected HTTP GET http://localthost... excecuted"
So seems that the #Async is borking MockerServerService response...
Also, If I commented the #Async annotation everything works just fine and I get all test green.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Update:
As per #M.Deinum's comment. I removed the CompletableFuture from the service but I'm still getting the same exception.
The problem is your code and not your test.
If you read the documentation (the JavaDoc) of AsyncExecutionInterceptor you will see the mention that only void or Future is supported as a return type. You are returning a plain object and that is internally treated as void.
A call to that method will always respond with null. As your test is running very quickly everything has been teared down already (or is in the process of being teared down) no more calls are expected to be made.
To fix, fix your method signature and return a Future<Merchant> so that you can block and wait for the result.
#Override
#Async("asyncExecutor")
public Future<Merchant> fetchMerchant(String id) {
ResponseEntity<Merchant> response =
restTemplate.getForEntity(url.concat(URL_DELIMITER).concat(id),
Merchant.class);
return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(response.getBody());
}
Now your calling code knows about the returned Future as well as the Spring Async code. Now in your test you can now call get on the returned value (maybe with a timeout to receive an error if something fails). TO inspect the result.

Mock Service inside resource using jersey test framwork

I have a resource for rest API which uses a service.
This service has a constructor with parameters.
I want to test this resource and to mock this service.
This Question: How to pass parameters to REST resource using Jersey 2.5
wasn't helpful because they used #Inject and I cannot use it.
Any suggestions?
The second question is how do I pass parameter to test this resouce:
My code is:
#Path("/2/{subversion: [0-3]}/users")
public class UserResource {
Logger log = Logger.getLogger(UserResource.class);
private MyService service;
public void setService(Service ser) {
this.service = ser;
}
#Context HttpServletRequest currentRequest;
#GET
#Produces("application/json")
public Response getUsers(#Context HttpHeaders httpHeaders, #Context UriInfo
uriInfo) {
// my function
}
}
How can I pass "httpHeaders" and "UriInfo".
My test looks like this:
Response response = target("/2/0/users/").request().get();
Users users = response.readEntity(Users.class);
assertNotNull(users);
For the service, it's good practice to either inject through the constructor or setter. This makes it easy to mock and pass in during unit testing. As for the mocking, you should use a framework like Mockito. Then you can do stuff like
MyService service = Mockito.mock(MyService.class);
when(service.getObject()).thenReturn(new Object());
HttpHeaders headers = Mockito.mock(HttpHeaders.class);
when(headers.getHeaderString("X-Header")).thenReturn("blah");
UriInfo uriInfo = Mockito.mock(UriInfo.class);
when(uriInfo.getRequestUri()).thenReturn(URI.create("http://localhost"));
Then you can just pass all these mocks to your resource class when UNIT testing.
For INTEGRATION testing you won't need to mock the headers or uriinfo. The actual ones will get passed in. But you can still mock the service if you want. Here's an example
public class MockServiceTest extends JerseyTest {
public static interface Service {
String getMessage(String name);
}
#Path("message")
public static class MessageResource {
private final Service service;
public MessageResource(Service service) {
this.service = service;
}
#GET
public String get(#QueryParam("name") String name,
#Context HttpHeaders headers,
#Context UriInfo uriInfo) {
String nameQuery = uriInfo.getQueryParameters().getFirst("name");
String header = headers.getHeaderString("X-Header");
assertNotNull(nameQuery);
assertNotNull(header);
return service.getMessage(name);
}
}
private Service service;
#Override
public ResourceConfig configure() {
service = Mockito.mock(Service.class);
return new ResourceConfig().register(new MessageResource(service));
}
#Test
public void testIt() {
Mockito.when(service.getMessage("peeskillet")).thenReturn("Hello peeskillet");
Response response = target("message").queryParam("name", "peeskillet").request()
.header("X-Header", "blah")
.get();
assertEquals(200, response.getStatus());
assertEquals("Hello peeskillet", response.readEntity(String.class));
}
}

How to TDD for Restful client code example

I did some TDDs before, but they were just straightforward and simple.
However, I will implement a restful client and invoke a restful API of third parties (Twitter, or Jira).
I used Resteasy client framework to implement that. The code is:
public void invokePUT() {
ClientRequest request =
new ClientRequest("http://example.com/customers");
request.accept("application/xml");
ClientResponse<Customer> response = request.put(Customer.class);
try {
if (response.getStatus() != 201)
throw new RuntimeException("Failed!");
} finally {
response.releaseConnection();
}}
If I want to write a test for this method (should write test before implement this method), what kind of the code should I write.
For GET, I can test the return Entity is equals to my expected entity and for POST, I can test the created entity's id is not null.
But how about for PUT and DELETE. Thanks.
Try to use REST Assured testing framework. It is great tool for testing REST services. On their website you'll find tons of examples how to use it. Just use it together with JUnit or TestNG to check assertions and you are done.
Here's how I'd go about the problem in the short term:
1) Extract the request into a parameter to the method. invokePUT() now becomes:
public void invokePUT(ClientRequest request) {
request.accept("application/xml");
ClientResponse<Customer> response = request.put(Customer.class);
try {
if (response.getStatus() != 201)
throw new RuntimeException("Failed!");
} finally {
response.releaseConnection();
}
}
2) In your test, use a stubbed version of ClientRequest
#Test
public void sendsPayloadAsXml() {
StubbedClientRequest request = new StubbedClientRequest(new StubbedResponse());
restApi.invokePUT(request);
assertEquals("application/xml", request.acceptHeader);
}
#Test
public void makesTheCallUsingPut() {
StubbedClientRequest request = new StubbedClientRequest(new StubbedResponse());
restApi.invokePUT(request);
assertTrue(request.putWasCalled);
}
#Test
public void releasesTheConnectionWhenComplete() {
StubbedResponse success = new StubbedResponse();
StubbedClientRequest request = new StubbedClientRequest(success);
restApi.invokePUT(request);
assertTrue(success.connectionWasClosed);
}
#Test(expected = RuntimeException.class)
public void raisesAnExceptionWhenInvalidResponseReceived() {
StubbedClientRequest request = new StubbedClientRequest(new StubbedResponse(400));
restApi.invokePUT(request);
}
private static class StubbedClientRequest extends ClientRequest {
public String acceptHeader = "";
public boolean putWasCalled;
public ClientResponse response
public StubbedRequest(ClientResponse response) {
this.response = response;
}
#Override
public ClientResponse put(Class klass) {
putWasCalled = true;
return response;
}
#Override
public void accept(String header) {
acceptHeader += header;
}
}
private static class StubbedResponse extends ClientResponse {
public boolean connectionWasReleased;
public int status = 201;
public StubbedResponse(int status) {
this.status = status;
}
public StubbedResponse() { }
}
This may not be a perfect design (Handing the ClientRequest to the class and having the RestEasy stuff exposed to the outside world) but it's a start.
Hope that helps!

i would inject mocked classes that test, if put and delete was called as intended (with expected parameters and so on). easymock or similar is good for that
(same with post and get)
EDIT:
in case you want to test the rest client, use dependency injection to inject the request, then use easymock to mock it like this (for example to test, if delete is called properly):
#Test void myTest(){
ClientRequest mock = EasyMock.createMock(ClientRequest.class);
mock.delete(2); //test if resource with id=2 is deleted or something similar
EasyMock.replay(mock);
invokeDelete(mock);
EasyMock.verify(mock);
}
