JarCastingGasper!
Gasper is a very simple integration testing JUnit harness for java -jar servers like WildFly Swarm and Spring Boot.
Gasper provides a simple to use JUnit TestRule that can be used to build integration tests with simple apps, like REST micro-services. You can configure Gasper easily with a builder interface. Gasper will start the application before test class and stop it after tests completes.
Gasper supports currently only Maven. The pom.xml file is used to read project configuration achieving zero configuration operation.
Usage
Gasper utilize your packaged application. It It means it should be used in integration tests that run after application is being packaged by build tool (Maven). Add this code to your pom.xml file (if you didn't done that before):
<build>
[..]
<plugins>
[..]
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
[..]
</plugins>
[..]
</build>
Place your integration tests in classes that ends with *IT or *ITest.
WildFly Swarm configuration
@ClassRule
public static Gasper gasper = Gasper.configurations()
.wildflySwarm()
.build();
Spring Boot configuration
@ClassRule
public static Gasper gasper = Gasper.configurations()
.springBoot()
.build();
Before running GasperBuilder.build() method, you can reconfigure those default configurations to your needs.
Example test method (Unirest + JSONAssert)
Gasper is best to use with libraries like Unirest for fetching data and asserting HTTP/S statuses and JSON Assert to validate correctness of JSON output for REST services.
@Test
public void testGetRoot() throws UnirestException {
// given
String address = gasper.getAddress(); // Address to deployed app, running live on random port
String expectedMessage = "WildFly Swarm!";
// when
HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest.get(address).asString();
// then
assertThat(response.getStatus()).isEqualTo(200);
assertThat(response.getBody()).field("hello").isEqualTo(expectedMessage); // JSON Assert
}
Additional configuration
To configure Gasper use GasperBuilder interface, for ex.:
private final int port = 11909;
private final String webContext = "/test";
private final String systemPropertyForPort = "swarm.http.port";
@ClassRule
public static Gasper gasper = Gasper.configure()
.silentGasperMessages()
.usingSystemPropertyForPort(systemPropertyForPort)
.withSystemProperty("swarm.context.path", webContext)
.withSystemProperty(systemPropertyForPort, String.valueOf(port))
.withJVMOptions("-server", "-Xms1G", "-Xmx1G", "-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC")
.withMaxStartupTime(100)
.withMaxDeploymentTime(20)
.withEnvironmentVariable("jdbc.password", "S3CreT!1")
.withTestApplicationLoggingOnConsole()
.usingPomFile(Paths.get("pom.xml"))
.withArtifactPackaging("jar")
.waitForWebContext(webContext)
.withArtifactClassifier("swarm")
.usingWebContextChecker(GasperBuilderTest::checkContext)
.withPort(port)
.build();
