OK, that is quite calming. I almost began to review the error handling of all Camel applications with subroutes. But the fact that it worked in the real runtime environment was an indicator that it is "just" a test setup problem.
Perhaps it is another problem of the Spring-Boot test initialization. Route testing with Spring-Boot seems to have some issues. I had a problem some months ago with MockEndpoints and Spring-Boot route tests: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Deaf-MockEndpoints-when-using-Spring-DirtiesContext-td5802788.html#a5803232 Thanks a lot Stephan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Quinn Stevenson [mailto:qu...@pronoia-solutions.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 3. Januar 2018 16:35 An: users@camel.apache.org Betreff: Re: MockEndpoint does not receive message if error occures in subroute I looked at the test again, and I’m pretty sure the issue has something to do with the initialization logic. I re-wrote the same tests using CamelTestSupport and they both pass (without the addition of the NoErrorHandlerBuilder). public class CamelRouteTest extends CamelTestSupport { @EndpointInject(uri = "mock://seda:output") protected MockEndpoint outputMock; @EndpointInject(uri = "mock://seda:error") protected MockEndpoint errorMock; @Override public String isMockEndpoints() { return "*"; } @Override protected RoutesBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception { return new CamelRoute(); } @Test public void testMessageOk() throws Exception { Map<String, Object> headers = new HashMap<>(); headers.put(CamelRoute.HEADER_CONDITION_FULFILLED, Boolean.TRUE); errorMock.expectedMessageCount(0); errorMock.setAssertPeriod(1000); outputMock.expectedMessageCount(1); outputMock.expectedHeaderReceived(CamelRoute.HEADER_CONDITION_FULFILLED, Boolean.TRUE); template.sendBodyAndHeaders("direct:input", "This messages is OK", headers); assertMockEndpointsSatisfied(); } @Test public void testErrorInChoiceWhen() throws Exception { Map<String, Object> headers = new HashMap<>(); headers.put(CamelRoute.HEADER_CONDITION_FULFILLED, Boolean.FALSE); errorMock.expectedMessageCount(1); errorMock.expectedHeaderReceived(CamelRoute.HEADER_CONDITION_FULFILLED, Boolean.FALSE); outputMock.expectedMessageCount(0); outputMock.setAssertPeriod(1000); template.sendBodyAndHeaders("direct:input", "This messages produces an error in the choice/when block", headers); assertMockEndpointsSatisfied(); } } > On Jan 3, 2018, at 6:44 AM, Burkard Stephan <stephan.burk...@visana.ch> wrote: > > Thanks Quinn. > > > > I knew that "global" onException clauses are only scoped to their > RouteBuilder. > > > > Follow-up question: Why are they not working for a subroute inside the same > RouteBuilder? > > > > Context for other readers: In the following example, the onException clause > works fine for the "direct:input" route, but not for the "direct:subroute" > route.
