Spring Testing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
link:testing.html[Testing] is a crucial part of any development or
integration work. The Spring Framework offers a number of features that
makes it easy to test while using Spring for Inversion of Control which
works with JUnit 3.x, JUnit 4.x, and http://testng.org[TestNG].
We can use Spring for IoC and the Camel link:mock.html[Mock] and
link:test.html[Test] endpoints to create sophisticated integration/unit
tests that are easy to run and debug inside your IDE.  There are three
supported approaches for testing with Spring in Camel.

|=======================================================================
|Name |Testing Frameworks Supported |Description |Required Camel Test Dependencies
|CamelSpringTestSupport |* JUnit 3.x (deprecated)
* JUnit 4.x
* TestNG - *Camel 2.8* |Provided by org.apache.camel.test.CamelSpringTestSupport,
org.apache.camel.test.junit4.CamelSpringTestSupport, and
org.apache.camel.testng.CamelSpringTestSupport.  These base classes
provide link:camel-test.html[feature parity] with the simple
CamelTestSupport classes from link:camel-test.html[Camel Test] but do
not support Spring annotations on the test class such as
*@Autowired*, *@DirtiesContext*, and *@ContextConfiguration*. |* JUnit 3.x (deprecated) - camel-test-spring
* JUnit 4.x - camel-test-spring
* TestNG - camel-test-ng
|Plain Spring Test |* JUnit 3.x
* JUnit 4.x
* TestNG |Extend the abstract base classes
(org.springframework.test.context.junit38.AbstractJUnit38SpringContextTests, org.springframework.test.context.junit38.AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests,
etc.) provided in Spring Test or use the Spring Test JUnit4 runner.
 These approaches support both the Camel annotations and Spring
annotations, but do not have link:camel-test.html[feature parity]
with org.apache.camel.test.CamelTestSupport,
org.apache.camel.test.junit4.CamelTestSupport, and
org.apache.camel.testng.CamelSpringTestSupport. |* JUnit 3.x (deprecated) - None
* JUnit 4.x - None

with the *@RunWith* annotation or extend
org.apache.camel.testng.AbstractCamelTestNGSpringContextTests to enable
link:camel-test.html[feature parity] with
org.apache.camel.test.CamelTestSupport and
org.apache.camel.test.junit4.CamelTestSupport and also support the full
suite of Spring Test annotations such

[[SpringTesting-CamelSpringTestSupport]]
CamelSpringTestSupport
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
org.apache.camel.test.CamelSpringTestSupport,
org.apache.camel.test.junit4.CamelSpringTestSupport, and
org.apache.camel.testng.CamelSpringTestSupport extend their non-Spring
aware counterparts (org.apache.camel.test.CamelTestSupport,
org.apache.camel.test.junit4.CamelTestSupport, and
org.apache.camel.testng.CamelTestSupport) and deliver integration with
Spring into your test classes.  Instead of instantiating the
CamelContext and routes programmatically, these classes rely on a Spring
context to wire the needed components together.  If your test extends
one of these classes, you must provide the Spring context by
implementing the following method.
[source,java]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
protected abstract AbstractApplicationContext createApplicationContext();
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are responsible for the instantiation of the Spring context in the
method implementation.  All of the features available in the non-Spring
aware counterparts from link:camel-test.html[Camel Test] are available
in your test.
[[SpringTesting-PlainSpringTest]]
Plain Spring Test
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In this approach, your test classes directly inherit from the Spring
Test abstract test classes or use the JUnit 4.x test runner provided in
Spring Test.  This approach supports dependency injection into your test
class and the full suite of Spring Test annotations but does not support
the features provided by the CamelSpringTestSupport classes.
[[SpringTesting-PlainSpringTestusingJUnit3.xwithXMLConfigExample]]
Plain Spring Test using JUnit 3.x with XML Config Example
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is a simple unit test using JUnit 3.x support from Spring Test
using http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-spring/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/spring/patterns/FilterTest.java[XML
Config].
Notice that we use *@DirtiesContext* on the test methods to
force link:spring-testing.html[Spring Testing] to automatically reload
the link:camelcontext.html[CamelContext] after each test method - this
ensures that the tests don't clash with each other (e.g. one test method
sending to an endpoint that is then reused in another test method).
Also notice the use of *@ContextConfiguration* to indicate that by
default we should look for
the http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-spring/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/spring/patterns/FilterTest-context.xml[FilterTest-context.xml
on the classpath] to configure the test case which looks like this
This test will load a Spring XML configuration file
calledFilterTest-context.xml from the classpath in the same package
structure as the FilterTest class and initialize it along with any Camel
routes we define inside it, then inject theCamelContextinstance into our
test case.
For instance, like this maven folder layout:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
src/test/java/org/apache/camel/spring/patterns/FilterTest.java
src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/spring/patterns/FilterTest-context.xml
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[SpringTesting-PlainSpringTestusingJUnit4.xwithJavaConfigExample]]
Plain Spring Test using JUnit 4.x with Java Config Example
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can completely avoid using an XML configuration file by using
link:spring-java-config.html[Spring Java Config].  Here is a unit test
using JUnit 4.x support from Spring Test
using http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-spring-javaconfig/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/spring/javaconfig/patterns/FilterTest.java[Java
Config].
This is similar to the XML Config example above except that there is no
XML file and instead the nested *ContextConfig* class does all of the
configuration; so your entire test case is contained in a single Java
class. We currently have to reference by class name this class in the
*@ContextConfiguration* which is a bit ugly. Please vote for
http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SJC-238[SJC-238] to address this
and make Spring Test work more cleanly with Spring JavaConfig.
[[SpringTesting-PlainSpringTestusingJUnit4.0.xRunnerwithXMLConfig]]
Plain Spring Test using JUnit 4.0.x Runner with XML Config
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can avoid extending Spring classes by using the
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner provided by Spring Test.  This custom JUnit
runner means you are free to choose your own class hierarchy while
retaining all the capabilities of Spring Test.
INFO:This is for Spring 4.0.x. If you use Spring 4.1 or newer, then see the
next section.
[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration
public class MyCamelTest {
    @Autowired
    protected CamelContext camelContext;
    @EndpointInject(uri = "mock:foo")
    protected MockEndpoint foo;
@Test
@DirtiesContext
    public void testMocksAreValid() throws Exception {
...       
        foo.message(0).header("bar").isEqualTo("ABC");
        MockEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied(camelContext);
    }
}
------------------------------------------------------
[[SpringTesting-PlainSpringTestusingJUnit4.1.xRunnerwithXMLConfig]]
Plain Spring Test using JUnit 4.1.x Runner with XML Config
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can avoid extending Spring classes by using the
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner provided by Spring Test.  This custom JUnit
runner means you are free to choose your own class hierarchy while
retaining all the capabilities of Spring Test.
INFO:When using Spring 4.1 onwards, you need to use the @BootstrapWith
annotation to configure it to use Camel testing, as shown below.
[source,java]
------------------------------------------------------
@RunWith(CamelSpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@BootstrapWith(CamelTestContextBootstrapper.class)
@ContextConfiguration
public class MyCamelTest {
    @Autowired
    protected CamelContext camelContext;
    @EndpointInject(uri = "mock:foo")
    protected MockEndpoint foo;
@Test
@DirtiesContext
    public void testMocksAreValid() throws Exception {
...       
        foo.message(0).header("bar").isEqualTo("ABC");
        MockEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied(camelContext);
    }
}
------------------------------------------------------
[[SpringTesting-CamelEnhancedSpringTest]]
Camel Enhanced Spring Test
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Using org.apache.camel.test.junit4.CamelSpringJUnit4ClassRunner runner
with the *@RunWith* annotation or extending
org.apache.camel.testng.AbstractCamelTestNGSpringContextTests provides
the full feature set of Spring Test with support for the feature set
provided in the CamelTestSupport classes.  A number of Camel specific
annotations have been developed in order to provide for declarative
manipulation of the Camel context(s) involved in the test.  These
annotations free your test classes from having to inherit from the
CamelSpringTestSupport classes and also reduce the amount of code
required to customize the tests.
[width="100%",cols="20%,20%,20%,20%,20%",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
|Annotation Class |Applies To |Description |Default Behavioir If Not Present |Default Behavior If Present
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.DisableJmx |Class |Indicates if JMX should be globally disabled in the CamelContexts that
are bootstrapped  during the test through the use of Spring Test loaded
application contexts. |JMX is disabled |JMX is disabled
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.ExcludeRoutes |Class |Indicates if certain route builder classes should be excluded from
discovery.  Initializes a
org.apache.camel.spi.PackageScanClassResolver to exclude a set of given
classes from being resolved. Typically this is used at test time to
exclude certain routes, which might otherwise be just noisy, from being
discovered and initialized. |Not enabled and no routes are excluded |No routes are excluded
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.LazyLoadTypeConverters (Deprecated) |Class |Indicates if the CamelContexts that are bootstrapped during the test
through the use of Spring Test loaded application contexts should use
lazy loading of type converters. |Type converters are not lazy loaded |Type converters are not lazy loaded
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.MockEndpoints |Class |Triggers the auto-mocking of endpoints whose URIs match the provided
filter.  The default filter is "*" which matches all endpoints.
 See org.apache.camel.impl.InterceptSendToMockEndpointStrategy for more
details on the registration of the mock endpoints. |Not enabled |All endpoints are sniffed and recorded in a mock endpoint.
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.MockEndpointsAndSkip |Class |Triggers the auto-mocking of endpoints whose URIs match the provided
filter.  The default filter is "*", which matches all endpoints.
 See http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/camel/trunk/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/impl/InterceptSendToMockEndpointStrategy.java?view=markup[org.apache.camel.impl.InterceptSendToMockEndpointStrategy] for more
details on the registration of the mock endpoints.  This annotation will
also skip sending the message to matched endpoints as well. |Not enabled |All endpoints are sniffed and recorded in a mock endpoint.  The original
endpoint is not invoked.
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.ProvidesBreakpoint |Method |Indicates that the annotated method returns
an org.apache.camel.spi.Breakpoint for use in the test.  Useful for
intercepting traffic to all endpoints or simply for setting a break
point in an IDE for debugging.  The method must be public, static, take
no arguments, and return org.apache.camel.spi.Breakpoint. |N/A |The returned Breakpoint is registered in the CamelContext(s)
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.ShutdownTimeout |Class |Indicates to set the shutdown timeout of all CamelContexts instantiated
through the use of Spring Test loaded application contexts.  If no
annotation is used, the timeout is automatically reduced to 10 seconds
by the test framework. |10 seconds |10 seconds
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.UseAdviceWith |Class |Indicates the use of adviceWith() within the test class.  If a class is
annotated with this annotation and UseAdviceWith#value() returns true,
any CamelContexts bootstrapped during the test through the use of Spring
Test loaded application contexts will not be started automatically.  The
test author is responsible for injecting the Camel contexts into the
test and executing CamelContext#start() on them at the appropriate time
after any advice has been applied to the routes in the CamelContext(s). |CamelContexts do not automatically start. |CamelContexts do not automatically start.
|org.apache.camel.test.spring.UseOverridePropertiesWithPropertiesComponent |Method |*Camel 2.16:*Indicates that the annotated method returns a
java.util.Properties for use in the test, and that those properties
override any existing properties configured on the PropertiesComponent | | Override properties
|=======================================================================
The following example illustrates the use of the
*@MockEndpoints* annotation in order to setup mock endpoints as
interceptors on all endpoints using the Camel Log component and the
*@DisableJmx* annotation to enable JMX which is disabled during tests by
default.  Note that we still use the *@DirtiesContext* annotation to
ensure that the CamelContext, routes, and mock endpoints are
reinitialized between test methods.
[source,java]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@RunWith(CamelSpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@BootstrapWith(CamelTestContextBootstrapper.class)
@ContextConfiguration
@DirtiesContext(classMode = ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD)
@MockEndpoints("log:*")
@DisableJmx(false)
public class CamelSpringJUnit4ClassRunnerPlainTest {
@Autowired
protected CamelContext camelContext2;
protected MockEndpoint mockB;
@EndpointInject(uri = "mock:c", context = "camelContext2")
protected MockEndpoint mockC;
@Produce(uri = "direct:start2", context = "camelContext2")
protected ProducerTemplate start2;
@EndpointInject(uri = "mock:log:org.apache.camel.test.junit4.spring", context = "camelContext2")
protected MockEndpoint mockLog;
@Test
public void testPositive() throws Exception {
mockC.expectedBodiesReceived("David");
mockLog.expectedBodiesReceived("Hello David");
start2.sendBody("David");
MockEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied(camelContext);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[SpringTesting-AddingmoreMockexpectations]]
Adding more Mock expectations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you wish to programmatically add any new assertions to your test you
can easily do so with the following. Notice how we use @EndpointInject
to inject a Camel endpoint into our code then the link:mock.html[Mock]
API to add an expectation on a specific message.
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
@ContextConfiguration
public class MyCamelTest extends AbstractJUnit38SpringContextTests {
@Autowired
protected CamelContext camelContext;
@EndpointInject(uri = "mock:foo")
protected MockEndpoint foo;
public void testMocksAreValid() throws Exception {
// lets add more expectations
foo.message(0).header("bar").isEqualTo("ABC");
MockEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied(camelContext);
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[[SpringTesting-Furtherprocessingthereceivedmessages]]
Further processing the received messages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sometimes once a link:mock.html[Mock] endpoint has received some
messages you want to then process them further to add further assertions
that your test case worked as you expect.
So you can then process the received message exchanges if you like...
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
@ContextConfiguration
public class MyCamelTest extends AbstractJUnit38SpringContextTests {
@Autowired
protected CamelContext camelContext;
@EndpointInject(uri = "mock:foo")
protected MockEndpoint foo;
public void testMocksAreValid() throws Exception {
// lets add more expectations...
MockEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied(camelContext);
// now lets do some further assertions
List<Exchange> list = foo.getReceivedExchanges();
for (Exchange exchange : list) {
Message in = exchange.getIn();
...
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[[SpringTesting-Sendingandreceivingmessages]]
Sending and receiving messages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It might be that the
link:enterprise-integration-patterns.html[Enterprise Integration
Patterns] you have defined in either link:spring.html[Spring] XML or
using the Java link:dsl.html[DSL] do all of the sending and receiving
and you might just work with the link:mock.html[Mock] endpoints as
described above. However sometimes in a test case its useful to
explicitly send or receive messages directly.
To send or receive messages you should use the
link:bean-integration.html[Bean Integration] mechanism. For example to
send messages inject a ProducerTemplate using the @EndpointInject
annotation then call the various send methods on this object to send a
message to an endpoint. To consume messages use the @MessageDriven
annotation on a method to have the method invoked when a message is
received.
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
public class Foo {
@EndpointInject(uri="activemq:foo.bar")
ProducerTemplate producer;
public void doSomething() {
// lets send a message!
producer.sendBody("<hello>world!</hello>");
}
// lets consume messages from the 'cheese' queue
@MessageDriven(uri="activemq:cheese")
public void onCheese(String name) {
...
}
}
