如何使用 map 的依赖注入测试 Spring 启动应用程序配置 class？

Question

After a lot of search's of spring boot testing I can't find a solution to my issue.

The goal is: To be able to test some specific method in a specific class (Actually, it is ConfigurationProperties class). To be more specific, I want to test the case that myObject.type is invalid ("szdzxdfssadf" for example:))

I have written a minimal dedicated project (only for this issue). This project contains a spring boot application that selects an engine class by type (the type provided by application properties).

GitHub link: https://github.com/matanmarciano/MySampleApplication

What works? The main class is running and the expected engine class is selected.

EngineConfiguration.java:

package com.sample.application.configuration;

import com.sample.application.engines.IEngine;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;

import java.util.Map;

@ConfigurationProperties
public class EngineConfiguration {
    private MyObject myObject;
    private Map<String, IEngine> engines;

    @Autowired
    public EngineConfiguration(@Qualifier("myObject") MyObject myObject, Map<String, IEngine> engines) {
        this.myObject = myObject;
        this.engines = engines;
    }

    @Bean(name = "engine")
    public IEngine engine() {
        final String type = myObject.getType();
        final IEngine engine = engines.get(type);

        return engine;
    }
}

What does not work? EngineConfigurationTest.engine() test, I got this logs:

As you can see, I tried to pass the relevant dependencies by @MockBean annotations.

Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

It doesn't work because you have a circular dependency in your application. When the Spring context is loading all the beans, it tries to create beans in the order needed for them to work completely. I this case, when EngineConfiguration is creating, it's trying to inject all the IEngine beans type because you declared in the constructor as dependencies, but in the same class, you are declaring one.

You can solve your issue by declaring the IEngine bean outside the EngineConfiguration class.

You can read about it here .

UPDATED to solve the issues with your tests.

It seems that org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest#classes do not support interfaces. You need to specify either the classes of your Engine implementation or create a Mock of an IEngine interface.

Option #1: Inject the real implementations and ask for a non-existent type.

@SpringBootTest(classes = {EngineFactory.class, EngineOne.class, EngineTwo.class}, properties = {
        "someField=someValue",
        "myObject.type=engineOneType",
        "myObject.someOtherField=someOtherValue"
})
class EngineFactoryTest {

    @Autowired
    EngineFactory engineFactory;

    @Test
    void invalidEngineType() {
        assertThatExceptionOfType(EngineNotSupportedException.class).isThrownBy(() -> {
            engineFactory.getEngine("engineThreeType"); //non-existent type

        });
    }
}

Option #2: You don't need any real implementation of IEngine.

@SpringBootTest(classes = {EngineFactory.class}, properties = {
        "someField=someValue",
        "myObject.type=engineOneType",
        "myObject.someOtherField=someOtherValue"
})
class EngineFactoryTest {

    @Autowired
    EngineFactory engineFactory;

    @MockBean(name = "EngineThree")
    private IEngine mockEngine;

    @Test
    void invalidEngineType() {
        Mockito.when(mockEngine.getType()).thenReturn("engineThree"); //mock the getType method with any value.

        assertThatExceptionOfType(EngineNotSupportedException.class).isThrownBy(() -> {
            engineFactory.getEngine("engineOneType");
        });
    }
}

Option #3 Since you use a properties configuration to define what engine to use I would prefer to don't load in memory an unused instance of the IEngine. I would use @ConditionalOnProperty

@ConditionalOnProperty(
        name = "myObject.type",
        havingValue = "EngineOne")
public class EngineOne implements IEngine {
    public String getType() {
        return "EngineOne";
    }
}

@Component("engineTwoType")
@ConditionalOnProperty(
        name = "myObject.type",
        havingValue = "EngineTwo")
public class EngineTwo implements IEngine {
    public String getType() {
        return "EngineTwo";
    }
}
