NullPointerException while testing Spring boot camel application

Question

public class MyRouteTest extends CamelSpringTestSupport {

    @Override
    protected AbstractApplicationContext createApplicationContext() {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
        ctx.scan("com.mypackage.routes");
        ctx.refresh();
        return ctx;
    }
    @Test
    public void testRouteRunning() throws Exception {
       assertTrue(context().getRouteStatus("direct:start").isStarted());
    }
}

getRouteStatus is returning null I am following this to write my test cases

Any pointers on how to fix this will be very helpful.

Answer 1

You need to use the id of the route, not the url, eg "direct:start" is the url of the route, the route has an id as well. If you do not specify an id, then an id is auto assigned such as route1 , route2 etc.

Use .routeId("myNameHere") to specify the id of a route.
