Using #Autowired with JMockit makes the #Autowired object null - unit-testing

I realize that there is another SO question which deals with this exact problem (here). However, it won't work in my case.
I have a maven (web/frontend) project using spring. I've added jmockit to the jvm through the pom:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9</version>
<configuration>
<argLine>-javaagent:${settings.localRepository}/mockit/jmockit/0.998/jmockit-0.998.jar</argLine>
<useSystemClassLoader>true</useSystemClassLoader>
<forkMode>always</forkMode>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The SUT (abbreviated) looks like:
#Service
#RequestMapping("/bars")
public class BarsController{
[...]
#Autowired
private FooUtils fooUtils;
[...]
#RequestMapping(value = "/get", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView getBars(){
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
Session session = fooUtils.getSession();
[...]
Now, I would really like to mock out the FooUtils instance in my test. Following the advice given in this SO question, I tried:
#RunWith(JMockit.class)
public class BarsControllerTest {
#Autowired BarsController unitUnderTest;
#Mocked Session session;
#Before
public void setUp()
{
FooUtils foo = new MockUp <FooUtils>() {
#Mock
Session getSession() {
return session;
}
}.getMockInstance();
mockit.Deencapsulation.setField(unitUnderTest, foo);
}
Alas, the unitUnderTest as well as the foo are both null, causing this to happen:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.manniche.thebars.BarsControllerTest.setUp(BarsControllerTest.java:40)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)

at org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter.main(ForkedBooter.java:70)
Which is quite unexpected, as I would expect new MockUp<...>{}.getMockInstance() to return some object.
I guess that I'm just missing out on some crucial part, but which?

#WebMvcTest No qualifying bean of type repository

I'm writing a controller test where controller looks like
#RestController
public class VehicleController {
#Autowired
private VehicleService vehicleService = null;
...
}
While the test class looks like
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(VehicleController.class)
public class VehicleControllerTest {
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc = null;
#MockBean
private VehicleService vehicleServie = null;
#Test
public void test() {
...
}
}
When I run this test it fails with the following error
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.example.database.repositories.SomeOtherRepository' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {#org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}
Here, SomeOtherRepository is not used in a given controller or service.
If I do #MockBean for SomeOtherRepository the test works but the same problem occurs for the rest of the repositories.
#MockBean private SomeOtherRepository someOtherRepository = null
...
# Bunch of other repositories
Ideally I should not be concerned about all the repositories except the one's I'm using. What am I missing here? How can I avoid writing bunch of #MockBeans?
You have specified
#WebMvcTest(VehicleController.class)
which is fine, however you might find some beans from other dependencies, such as a custom UserDetailsService, some custom validation, or #ControllerAdvice that are also being brought in.
You can exclude these beans by using exclude filters.
#WebMvcTest(controllers = VehicleController.class, excludeFilters = #Filter(type = FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, classes = CustomUserDetailsService.class)
Your VehicleService depends on SomeOtherRepository, so you have to mock it too in your test class. Try adding:
#MockBean private SomeOtherRepository someOtherRepository
in your VehicleControllerTest class.

Migrating from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5 issue (#RunWith to #ExtendWith)

I am trying to convert the test-code of a Spring Boot controller from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5. I almost replaced all the annotations of JUnit 4 with JUnit 5 but got some issue when tried to replace #RunWith with #ExtendWith.
#ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)

.standaloneSetup(happyPostController)
.build();
}
#Test

I tried to find the solution but failed. Please help.
Thanks
I don't know what your JUnit 4 based version of that test class looked like, but the example you have provided is an unnecessary mixture of an integration test and a unit test.
You're using the SpringExtension to create an ApplicationContext, but then you never use the ApplicationContext or any other features from the Spring TestContext Framework or Spring Boot Test.
So, the best solution is simply to get rid of all of the unnecessary integration testing support and rewrite your test class as follows.
#TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
class HappyPostControllerTest {
#Mock
HappyPostServiceImpl happyPostService;
MockMvc mockMvc;
#BeforeAll
void initialize() {
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
HappyPostController happyPostController = new HappyPostController(happyPostService);
this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders
.standaloneSetup(happyPostController)
.build();
}
#Test
void testMockCreation() {
assertNotNull(happyPostService);
assertNotNull(mockMvc);
}
//..... other test methods
}

Spring Boot controller unit test : Failed to load ApplicationContext

I have a simple spring boot controller and I want to write unit test for it but there is an error. I've googled for hours but still cannot find the solution. Here is code:
HelloController.java
#RestController
public class HelloController {
#Autowired
private HelloService helloService;
#GetMapping("/hello")
public String sayHello(){
return helloService.sayHello();
}
}
HelloService.java:
#Service
public class HelloService {
public String sayHello(){
return "Hello";
}
}
And unit test file:
HelloControllerTest.java:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(HelloController.class)
public class HelloControllerTest {
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Mock
private HelloService helloService;
#Before
public void setUp(){
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
}
#Test
public void sayHello() throws Exception {
when(helloService.sayHello()).thenReturn("thach");
mockMvc.perform(get("/hello"))
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andExpect(content().string("thach"));
}
}

Can any one help me ? I am just a newbie to Spring boot
I had similar issue. Please see code below:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class ApplicationControllerTest {
#Autowired
MockMvc mockMvc;
#MockBean
ApplicationService applicationService;
#Test
public void testGetImagePath() throws Exception {
RequestBuilder requestBuilder = MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/application/get-image")
.contentType(MediaType.IMAGE_GIF);
MvcResult result = mockMvc.perform(requestBuilder).andReturn();
System.out.println(result.getResponse());
}
Please see below test case execution:
Check Annotations you used i.e. :
1) #RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
2) #SpringBootTest
3) #AutoConfigureMockMvc
For anyone that runs into the same issue - It is important to use #MockBean. (#Mock won't cut it)
See https://spring.io/guides/gs/testing-web/:
We use #MockBean to create and inject a mock for the GreetingService (if you do not do so, the application context cannot start), and we set its expectations using Mockito.
So it is likely all may have been fine if OP just replaced
#Mock
private HelloService helloService;
with
#MockBean
private HelloService helloService;
So the additional class annotations from the accepted answer should not be necessary
if converted into #SpringBootTest it will becomes integration testing. but we want to test only specific controller (unit testing) with #WebMvcTest so how it will become a feasible solution.
I had the same problem and tried different ways, but none of them didn't work, Finally, I included two annotations to my Test Class which resolved my problem:
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
HelloControllerTest {
}
If you don't want to generate random port to test your API just add the following annotations:
#SpringBootTest
#AutoConfigureMockMvc
HelloControllerTest {
}
What's missing in here is the #SpringBootTest annotation. This annotation is used to load #Configuration classes for testing and start the embedded container with the default port.
If a #Configuration class is not specified, it would use the default #SpringBootApplication class, since it has #Configuration inside its annotation.

How to test Spring Data repositories?

I want a repository (say, UserRepository) created with the help of Spring Data. I am new to spring-data (but not to spring) and I use this tutorial. My choice of technologies for dealing with the database is JPA 2.1 and Hibernate. The problem is that I am clueless as to how to write unit tests for such a repository.
Let's take create() method for instance. As I am working test-first, I am supposed to write a unit test for it - and that's where I bump into three problems:
First, how do I inject a mock of an EntityManager into the non-existing implementation of a UserRepository interface? Spring Data would generate an implementation based on this interface:
public interface UserRepository extends CrudRepository<User, Long> {}
However, I don't know how to force it to use an EntityManager mock and other mocks - if I had written the implementation myself, I would probably have a setter method for EntityManager, allowing me to use my mock for the unit test. (As for actual database connectivity, I have a JpaConfiguration class, annotated with #Configuration and #EnableJpaRepositories, which programmatically defines beans for DataSource, EntityManagerFactory, EntityManager etc. - but repositories should be test-friendly and allow for overriding these things).
Second, should I test for interactions? It is hard for me to figure out what methods of EntityManager and Query are supposed to be called (akin to that verify(entityManager).createNamedQuery(anyString()).getResultList();), since it isn't me who is writing the implementation.
Third, am I supposed to unit-test the Spring-Data-generated methods in the first place? As I know, the third-party library code is not supposed to be unit-tested - only the code the developers write themselves is supposed to be unit-tested. But if that's true, it still brings the first question back to the scene: say, I have a couple of custom methods for my repository, for which I will be writing implementation, how do I inject my mocks of EntityManager and Query into the final, generated repository?
Note: I will be test-driving my repositories using both the integration and the unit tests. For my integration tests I am using an HSQL in-memory database, and I am obviously not using a database for unit tests.
And probably the fourth question, is it correct to test the correct object graph creation and object graph retrieval in the integration tests (say, I have a complex object graph defined with Hibernate)?
Update: today I've continued experimenting with mock injection - I created a static inner class to allow for mock injection.
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration
#Transactional
#TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback = true)
public class UserRepositoryTest {
#Configuration
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "com.anything.repository")
static class TestConfiguration {
#Bean
public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() {
return mock(EntityManagerFactory.class);
}
#Bean
public EntityManager entityManager() {
EntityManager entityManagerMock = mock(EntityManager.class);
//when(entityManagerMock.getMetamodel()).thenReturn(mock(Metamodel.class));
when(entityManagerMock.getMetamodel()).thenReturn(mock(MetamodelImpl.class));
return entityManagerMock;
}
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() {
return mock(JpaTransactionManager.class);
}
}
#Autowired
private UserRepository userRepository;
#Autowired
private EntityManager entityManager;
#Test
public void shouldSaveUser() {
User user = new UserBuilder().build();
userRepository.save(user);
verify(entityManager.createNamedQuery(anyString()).executeUpdate());
}
}
However, running this test gives me the following stacktrace:

tl;dr
To make it short - there's no way to unit test Spring Data JPA repositories reasonably for a simple reason: it's way to cumbersome to mock all the parts of the JPA API we invoke to bootstrap the repositories. Unit tests don't make too much sense here anyway, as you're usually not writing any implementation code yourself (see the below paragraph on custom implementations) so that integration testing is the most reasonable approach.
Details
We do quite a lot of upfront validation and setup to make sure you can only bootstrap an app that has no invalid derived queries etc.
We create and cache CriteriaQuery instances for derived queries to make sure the query methods do not contain any typos. This requires working with the Criteria API as well as the meta.model.
We verify manually defined queries by asking the EntityManager to create a Query instance for those (which effectively triggers query syntax validation).
We inspect the Metamodel for meta-data about the domain types handled to prepare is-new checks etc.
All stuff that you'd probably defer in a hand-written repository which might cause the application to break at runtime (due to invalid queries etc.).
If you think about it, there's no code you write for your repositories, so there's no need to write any unittests. There's simply no need to as you can rely on our test base to catch basic bugs (if you still happen to run into one, feel free to raise a ticket). However, there's definitely need for integration tests to test two aspects of your persistence layer as they are the aspects that related to your domain:
entity mappings
query semantics (syntax is verified on each bootstrap attempt anyway).
Integration tests
This is usually done by using an in-memory database and test cases that bootstrap a Spring ApplicationContext usually through the test context framework (as you already do), pre-populate the database (by inserting object instances through the EntityManager or repo, or via a plain SQL file) and then execute the query methods to verify the outcome of them.
Testing custom implementations
Custom implementation parts of the repository are written in a way that they don't have to know about Spring Data JPA. They are plain Spring beans that get an EntityManager injected. You might of course wanna try to mock the interactions with it but to be honest, unit-testing the JPA has not been a too pleasant experience for us as well as it works with quite a lot of indirections (EntityManager -> CriteriaBuilder, CriteriaQuery etc.) so that you end up with mocks returning mocks and so on.
With Spring Boot + Spring Data it has become quite easy:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#DataJpaTest
public class MyRepositoryTest {
#Autowired
MyRepository subject;
#Test
public void myTest() throws Exception {
subject.save(new MyEntity());
}
}
The solution by #heez brings up the full context, this only bring up what is needed for JPA+Transaction to work.
Note that the solution above will bring up a in memory test database given that one can be found on the classpath.
This may come a bit too late, but I have written something for this very purpose. My library will mock out the basic crud repository methods for you as well as interpret most of the functionalities of your query methods.
You will have to inject functionalities for your own native queries, but the rest are done for you.
Take a look:
https://github.com/mmnaseri/spring-data-mock
UPDATE
This is now in Maven central and in pretty good shape.
If you're using Spring Boot, you can simply use #SpringBootTest to load in your ApplicationContext (which is what your stacktrace is barking at you about). This allows you to autowire in your spring-data repositories. Be sure to add #RunWith(SpringRunner.class) so the spring-specific annotations are picked up:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
public class OrphanManagementTest {
#Autowired
private UserRepository userRepository;
#Test
public void saveTest() {
User user = new User("Tom");
userRepository.save(user);
Assert.assertNotNull(userRepository.findOne("Tom"));
}
}
You can read more about testing in spring boot in their docs.
In the last version of spring boot 2.1.1.RELEASE, it is simple as :
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = SampleApplication.class)
public class CustomerRepositoryIntegrationTest {
#Autowired
CustomerRepository repository;
#Test
public void myTest() throws Exception {
Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.setId(100l);
customer.setFirstName("John");
customer.setLastName("Wick");
repository.save(customer);
List<?> queryResult = repository.findByLastName("Wick");
assertFalse(queryResult.isEmpty());
assertNotNull(queryResult.get(0));
}
}
Complete code:
https://github.com/jrichardsz/spring-boot-templates/blob/master/003-hql-database-with-integration-test/src/test/java/test/CustomerRepositoryIntegrationTest.java
When you really want to write an i-test for a spring data repository you can do it like this:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#DataJpaTest
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses = WebBookingRepository.class)
#EntityScan(basePackageClasses = WebBooking.class)
public class WebBookingRepositoryIntegrationTest {
#Autowired
private WebBookingRepository repository;
#Test
public void testSaveAndFindAll() {
WebBooking webBooking = new WebBooking();
webBooking.setUuid("some uuid");
webBooking.setItems(Arrays.asList(new WebBookingItem()));
repository.save(webBooking);
Iterable<WebBooking> findAll = repository.findAll();
assertThat(findAll).hasSize(1);
webBooking.setId(1L);
assertThat(findAll).containsOnly(webBooking);
}
}
To follow this example you have to use these dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<version>1.4.197</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.12</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.assertj</groupId>
<artifactId>assertj-core</artifactId>
<version>3.9.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
With JUnit5 and #DataJpaTest test will look like (kotlin code):
#DataJpaTest
#ExtendWith(value = [SpringExtension::class])
class ActivityJpaTest {
#Autowired
lateinit var entityManager: TestEntityManager
#Autowired
lateinit var myEntityRepository: MyEntityRepository
#Test
fun shouldSaveEntity() {
// when
val savedEntity = myEntityRepository.save(MyEntity(1, "test")
// then
Assertions.assertNotNull(entityManager.find(MyEntity::class.java, savedEntity.id))
}
}
You could use TestEntityManager from org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.TestEntityManager package in order to validate entity state.
I solved this by using this way -
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages={"com.path.repositories"})
#EntityScan(basePackages={"com.model"})
#TestPropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
#ContextConfiguration(classes = {ApiTestConfig.class,SaveActionsServiceImpl.class})
public class SaveCriticalProcedureTest {
#Autowired
private SaveActionsService saveActionsService;
.......
.......
}
you can use #DataJpaTest annotation that focuses only on JPA components. By default, it scans for #Entity classes and configures Spring Data JPA repositories annotated with #Repository annotation.
By default, tests annotated with #DataJpaTest are transactional and roll back at the end of each test.
//in Junit 5 #RunWith(SpringRunner.class) annotation is not required
#DataJpaTest
public class EmployeeRepoTest {
#Autowired
EmployeeRepo repository;
#Test
public void testRepository()
{
EmployeeEntity employee = new EmployeeEntity();
employee.setFirstName("Anand");
employee.setProject("Max Account");
repository.save(employee);
Assert.assertNotNull(employee.getId());
}
}
Junit 4 Syntax will be along with SpringRunner class.
//Junit 4
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#DataJpaTest
public class DataRepositoryTest{
//
}

Run Jettys ServletTester within JUnit test

I'm trying to run Jettys ServletTester in my JUnit test. I created a simple HelloServlet first to test the setup, but I get an IllegalAccessException when I try to request the servlet. Here is what I have so far:
My unit test
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
tester = new ServletTester();
tester.setContextPath("/context");
tester.addServlet(HelloServlet.class, "/hello/*");
tester.start();
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
tester.stop();
}
#Test
public void testDefaultServlet() throws Exception {
HttpTester request = new HttpTester();
request.setMethod("GET");
request.setHeader("Host","127.0.0.1");
request.setURI("/context/hello/info");
request.setVersion("HTTP/1.0");
HttpTester response = new HttpTester();
response.parse(tester.getResponses(request.generate()));
assertNull(response.getMethod());
assertEquals(200,response.getStatus());
assertEquals("<h1>Hello Servlet</h1>",response.getContent());
}
My HelloServlet
This servlet is defined in the same file as the unit test, because I want it to be there for the initial setup of jetty. After everything is running, I'll remove it (or maybe keep it, but it will stay within the unit test then).
Update This servlet was defined inside the unit test itself because it was meant only as a configuration test for the jetty server itself. But jetty wasn't able to access it, and after moving it into a public class and a file for itself everything worked like expected. See the comment.
class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {
#Override
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
out.println("Hello, World!");
out.flush();
}
}

Strange enough, because I got this example almost straight from http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/ServletTester. Any thoughts or maybe a working example of a embedded jetty servlet container in a junit test?
Your HelloServlet must be implemented as a public class:
public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet { ... }
