Citrus rest client-server test fail with mvn clean verify - rest-client

Question

[enter image description here][1]I have created the following citrus test cases to test a basic connection between Rest client and server:
#Test
#CitrusTest
fun httpActionTest() {
variable("username", "user")
variable("password","password")
http().client("httpClient")
.send()
.post("/api/authenticate")
.messageType(MessageType.JSON)
.contentType("application/json")
.payload("{ \"username\": \"\${username}\", \"password\": \"\${password}\"}");
http().client("httpClient")
.receive()
.response(HttpStatus.OK)
.validate("$.token","asasasasas")
}
#CitrusTest
fun httpServerActionTest() {
http().server("httpServer")
.receive()
.post("/api/authenticate")
.payload("{ \"username\": \"\${username}\", \"password\": \"\${password}\"}")
.contentType("application/json")
.accept("application/json")
.extractFromPayload("username", "username")
.extractFromPayload("password", "password")
.validate("$.username", "user")
.validate("$.password","pass")
http().server("httpServer")
.send()
.response(HttpStatus.OK)
.payload("{\"token\": \"lsdkfjkh8sdfg98zsd\"}")
.version("HTTP/1.1")
.contentType("application/json")
}
I have defined the server and client endpoints in citrux-context.xml as follows:
<citrus-http:client id="httpClient"
request-url="http://localhost:8080"
request-method="GET"
content-type="application/json"
charset="UTF-8"
timeout="60000"/>
<citrus-http:server id="httpServer"
port="8080"
auto-start="true"
resource-base="src/test/resources"/>
While executing via IntelliJ, following logs are observed:

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
EDITED The following is my project structure

Answer 1

I see multiple issues in your code and setup. First of all the httpServerActionTest() is missing the #Test annotation. If not put on class level this annotation needs to be repeated on each method in your test class.
Secondly the complete test structure does not make much sense to me. In httpActionTest() test you send a client request to the server while in httpServerActionTest() you receive that very same request as a server and validate its contents with Citrus. Your test is both client and server at the same time. Feels wrong to me! In particular this test setup will never work as Http is a synchronous protocol by nature and httpActionTest() is not able to succeed without httpServerActionTest() performing. You will get timeout exceptions on client side then. This will only work in case both methods are executed in parallel to each other.
Regarding the Maven failure: citrux-context.xml is misspelled (citrux vs. citrus). Also it seems to me that the file is not properly added to the Maven project as a resource. Did you keep the default Maven directory layout?
Once again the complete test setup does not clarify its purpose to me.
