camel-itest-spring-boot

The camel-itest-spring-boot module provides an integration testing framework for camel components, to check their compatibility with spring-boot.

Each test-case defined in src/test/java/org/apache/camel/itest/springboot executes the following steps:

• Creates a spring-boot jar by putting the spring-boot loader, test classes and some utility classes in the main jar, and all other libraries (including the camel component under test) as nested jars;
• Launches a new JVM with the spring-boot jar in the classpath, then starts the spring-boot platform;
• Executes a list of predefined checks in the spring-boot environment to verify that the component has been created correctly: checks that the camel context has been created, that the camel components can be activated (including data format and languages).

Additional options

Test options can be changed from the src/test/resources/spring-boot-itest.properties file.

Some useful options include:

• includeTestDependencies (default=true): when this option is enabled, the integration test will locate the module pom.xml file and include in the spring-boot jar also the test-scoped dependencies of the module. The inclusion of other libraries often activates some hidden behaviour of spring-boot.
• unitTestEnabled (default=false): when this option is enabled, the integration test will locate the test-classes of the module and run the unit tests after the execution of the usual checks. Note: a full build of each component is required prior to running the unit tests. Test dependencies are implicitly included.

Note: logging dependencies (eg. log4j) are fixed automatically, to prevent conflict with spring-boot logging system.
