Hi Stripes Users,
Currently I want to test an action bean. It gets a Spring bean (service class)
injected via the @SpringBean annotation. Now I want this service to be mocked
with Mockito. My current solution works like this:
I have an interface "LoginService" and a real implementation "LoginServiceImpl"
annotated with @Service annotation. In my test classpath, I also have an
implementation called MockitoLoginService which uses the decorator pattern. It
has the following static (!) field:
public static final LoginService mock = mock(LoginService.class);
The login method derived from the interface looks like this:
public User login(String username, String password) throws LoginException {
return mock.login(username, password);
}
This enables me to configure the mocked service from my unit test by
configuring the "mock" constant:
when(MockitoLoginService.mock.login(anyString(), anyString())).thenReturn(new
User());
Why did I make the field static? Well, when executing LoginActionBean with
MockRoundtrip, a new Spring context is created. If "mock" was an instance
field, it would also be newly created for the action bean, so I cannot
configure the mock object of the MockitoLoginService that was injected into my
unit test. By using a static field, this problem is solved.
Now the bad thing: By using this static field, I lose all thread safety that
the real implementation provides. Test cases must be executed one after another
- not really what I want.
What I really want is that Stripes uses the same Spring context as the unit
tests, or vice versa. I already use some Spring test annotations and implement
ApplicationContextAware in my unit tests. This way, I have access to the used
Spring context. But when configuring and starting the StripesFilter, a new
WebApplicationContext is created and used. This one exists side by side to the
context used by the unit tests.
Has anyone an idea how to let use Stripes the same Spring context that us ised
while executing the unit tests?
Best regards,
Marcus
