@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @Inherited @TestExecutionListeners(listeners={StepScopeTestExecutionListener.class,JobScopeTestExecutionListener.class}, mergeMode=MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS) @ExtendWith(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 JobOperatorTestUtils bean named "jobOperatorTestUtils" which can be used in tests for starting jobs and steps.
Registers a JobRepositoryTestUtils bean named "jobRepositoryTestUtils" 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.

This annotation can be used without manually registering the SpringExtension since @SpringBatchTest is meta-annotated with @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class). Here is an example:

 @SpringBatchTest
 @SpringJUnitConfig(MyBatchJobConfiguration.class)
 public class MyBatchJobTests {

     @Autowired
     private JobOperatorTestUtils jobOperatorTestUtils;

     @Autowired
     private JobRepositoryTestUtils jobRepositoryTestUtils;

     @BeforeEach
     public void setup(@Autowired Job jobUnderTest) {
         this.jobOperatorTestUtils.setJob(jobUnderTest); // this is optional if the job is unique
         this.jobRepositoryTestUtils.removeJobExecutions();
     }

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

         // when
         JobExecution jobExecution = this.jobOperatorTestUtils.startJob(jobParameters);

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

 }

It should be noted that if the test context contains a single job bean definition, that is the job under test, then this annotation will set that job in the JobOperatorTestUtils automatically. The test context must contain a JobRepository and a JobLauncher beans for this annotation to properly set up test utilities. In the previous example, the imported configuration class MyBatchJobConfiguration is expected to have such beans defined in it (or imported from another configuration class). JUnit4 support is deprecated in Spring Batch 6.0.0 and will be removed in a future release.

Since:

4.1
