dropwizard-hibernate-test-util
Hibernate utility class for writing integration tests for AbstractDAO classes in dropwizard applications. It uses an in-memory database (HSQLDB) and uses hibernate functionality to auto-create the tables on startup.
This library follows what is described in this blog post: http://www.petrikainulainen.net/programming/testing/writing-tests-for-data-access-code-unit-tests-are-waste/ Bugs often slips through the unit tests with mocks. Using an in-memory database allows you to actually run the SQL scripts and remove the effort of writing mocks.
Supported versions:
| Dropwizard | Hibernate test util |
|---|---|
| 0.9.3 | 0.0.1 |
| 0.9.3 | 0.0.2 |
| 1.3.8 | 1.3.8 |
Maven
The library is available at the maven central, so just add the dependency to pom.xml with scope set to test:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.mtakaki</groupId>
<artifactId>dropwizard-hibernate-test-util</artifactId>
<version>1.3.8</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Example
The class HibernateDAOTestUtil provides a jUnit Rule, so it can be simply used like this:
public class TestEntityDAOTest {
@Rule
public HibernateDAOTestUtil testUtil = new HibernateDAOTestUtil(TestEntity.class);
private TestEntityDAO dao;
public void setup() {
this.dao = new TestEntityDAO(this.testUtil.getSessionFactory());
}
@Test
public void testSaveAndQuery() {
// We have a session opened and ready to be used.
final Session session = this.testUtil.getSession();
final TestEntity entity = TestEntity.builder().body("testing writing").build();
session.save(entity);
final Optional<TestEntity> foundEntityOptional = this.dao.findById(entity.getId());
assertThat(foundEntityOptional).isPresent().contains(entity);
}
}
The schema is completely dropped after each test, guaranteeing test isolation. So no need to clean up after yourself, just let the database be destroyed after the test.
