Spring Boot 单元测试未检测到自动装配组件的模块

Question

we have split our Maven based Spring Boot project into two modules as follows:

ProjectRoot
-SharedModel
-Application
--main
---java
----com....(Application.java)
-----com....(ClassToAutowire.java)
--test
----com....(ApplicationTest.java)
-----com....(ClassToAutowireTest.java)

The test class looks as follows:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class ClassToAutowireTest extends BaseTest {

    @Autowired
    private ClassToAutowire classToAutowire;

    @Before
    public void setup() throws IOException {        
    ....
    }

    @Test
    public void someTest() {
        ....
        assertEquals(this.classToAutowire.isSupported(this.message), true);
    }

}

The ClassToAutowire looks like the follows:

@Component
public class ClassToAutowire {

    private ConfigurationService configurationService;

    @Autowired
    public ClassToAutowire(ConfigurationService configurationService) {
        this.configurationService = configurationService;
    }



    ....

}

The Application.java looks as follows:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableRetry
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

And the ApplicationTest.java looks as follows:

@SpringBootTest
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class ApplicationTests {

    @Test
    @Ignore
    public void contextLoads() {
        // °º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸,ø¤°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸
    }
}

When I run this Unit Test, we get the following trace:

    2018-06-27 15:02:37.835 ERROR [                                main] context.TestContextManager.prepareTestInstance(TestContextManager.java:234): Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener@57c03d88] to prepare test instance [com.some.package.structure.ClassToAutowireTest@16aa8654]

Looks like this problem can be bypassed by adding the annotation @SpringBootTest(classes={ClassToAutowire.class}) below the @RuneWith annotation, but then the unit test seems to load the whole SpringBoot app to run test.

My questions are:

1) Why is this extra annotation needed to workaround the problem? It is supposed to scan the entire Application/main/java/.... (based on Application.java), so why is it not detecting the component?

2) How best to do it, with minimal loading to make unit tests faster?

Answer 1

Provide your test with @ContextConfiguration(classes = ClassToAutowire.class) , then your context will be provided with that class. @SpringBootTest annotation is used in Integration Tests to load full context. With @ContextConfiguration annotation you are able to load only part of context.

Answer 2

@SpringBootTest is used for integration tests that's mean integrating different layers of the application. This is why it loads the whole context.

If you want to unit test only controllers, use @WebMvcTest and mock all the other layers that you need.

For full unit tests of all the layers with working examples see: Testing in Spring

Answer 3

I'have resolved this error, by move my test class into the com package. Structure of test folder looks like this

--/test
--/--/java
--/--/--/com
--/--/--/--/TestClass

I'm not sure, if this structure is ok, but this works.
