Annotation Type SpringBatchTest

@Target(value=TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @Inherited
 @TestExecutionListeners(listeners={StepScopeTestExecutionListener.class,JobScopeTestExecutionListener.class},
                        mergeMode=MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS)
 @ExtendWith(value=org.springframework.test.context.junit.jupiter.SpringExtension.class)
public @interface SpringBatchTest

Annotation that can be specified on a test class that runs Spring Batch based tests. Provides the following features over the regular Spring TestContext Framework:

• Registers a JobLauncherTestUtils bean with the BatchTestContextCustomizer.JOB_LAUNCHER_TEST_UTILS_BEAN_NAME which can be used in tests for launching jobs and steps.
• Registers a JobRepositoryTestUtils bean with the BatchTestContextCustomizer.JOB_REPOSITORY_TEST_UTILS_BEAN_NAME which can be used in tests setup to create or remove job executions.
• Registers the StepScopeTestExecutionListener and JobScopeTestExecutionListener as test execution listeners which are required to test step/job scoped beans.

A typical usage of this annotation with JUnit 4 is like:

 @RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
 @SpringBatchTest
 @ContextConfiguration(classes = MyBatchJobConfiguration.class)
 public class MyBatchJobTests {

    @@Autowired
    private JobLauncherTestUtils jobLauncherTestUtils;

    @@Autowired
    private JobRepositoryTestUtils jobRepositoryTestUtils;

    @Before
    public void clearJobExecutions() {
       this.jobRepositoryTestUtils.removeJobExecutions();
    }

    @Test
    public void testMyJob() throws Exception {
       // given
       JobParameters jobParameters = this.jobLauncherTestUtils.getUniqueJobParameters();

       // when
       JobExecution jobExecution = this.jobLauncherTestUtils.launchJob(jobParameters);

       // then
       Assert.assertEquals(ExitStatus.COMPLETED, jobExecution.getExitStatus());
    }

 }
 

For JUnit 5, this annotation can be used without having to manually register the SpringExtension since @SpringBatchTest is meta-annotated with @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class):

 @SpringBatchTest
 @ContextConfiguration(classes = MyBatchJobConfiguration.class)
 public class MyBatchJobTests {

    @@Autowired
    private JobLauncherTestUtils jobLauncherTestUtils;

    @@Autowired
    private JobRepositoryTestUtils jobRepositoryTestUtils;

    @BeforeEach
    public void clearJobExecutions() {
       this.jobRepositoryTestUtils.removeJobExecutions();
    }

    @Test
    public void testMyJob() throws Exception {
       // given
       JobParameters jobParameters = this.jobLauncherTestUtils.getUniqueJobParameters();

       // when
       JobExecution jobExecution = this.jobLauncherTestUtils.launchJob(jobParameters);

       // then
       Assertions.assertEquals(ExitStatus.COMPLETED, jobExecution.getExitStatus());
    }
 
 }
 

It should be noted that JobLauncherTestUtils requires a Job bean and that JobRepositoryTestUtils requires a DataSource bean. Since this annotation registers a JobLauncherTestUtils and a JobRepositoryTestUtils in the test context, it is expected that the test context contains a single autowire candidate for a Job and a DataSource (either a single bean definition or one that is annotated with Primary).
