Stub Runner JUnit Rule and Stub Runner JUnit5 Extension

Stub Runner comes with a JUnit rule that lets you can download and run stubs for a given group and artifact ID, as the following example shows:

@ClassRule
public static StubRunnerRule rule = new StubRunnerRule().repoRoot(repoRoot())
	.stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE)
	.downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs", "loanIssuance")
	.downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer");

@BeforeClass
@AfterClass
public static void setupProps() {
	System.clearProperty("stubrunner.repository.root");
	System.clearProperty("stubrunner.classifier");
}

A StubRunnerExtension is also available for JUnit 5. StubRunnerRule and StubRunnerExtension work in a very similar fashion. After the rule or extension is called, Stub Runner connects to your Maven repository and, for the given list of dependencies, tries to:

  • Download them

  • Cache them locally

  • Unzip them to a temporary folder

  • Start a WireMock server for each Maven dependency on a random port from the provided range of ports or the provided port

  • Feed the WireMock server with all JSON files that are valid WireMock definitions

  • Send messages (remember to pass an implementation of MessageVerifierSender interface)

Stub Runner uses the Eclipse Aether mechanism to download the Maven dependencies. Check their docs for more information.

Since the StubRunnerRule and StubRunnerExtension implement the StubFinder, they let you find the started stubs, as the following example shows:

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract;

/**
 * Contract for finding registered stubs.
 *
 * @author Marcin Grzejszczak
 */
public interface StubFinder extends StubTrigger {

	/**
	 * For the given groupId and artifactId tries to find the matching URL of the running
	 * stub.
	 * @param groupId - might be null. In that case a search only via artifactId takes
	 * place
	 * @param artifactId - artifact id of the stub
	 * @return URL of a running stub or throws exception if not found
	 * @throws StubNotFoundException in case of not finding a stub
	 */
	URL findStubUrl(String groupId, String artifactId) throws StubNotFoundException;

	/**
	 * For the given Ivy notation {@code [groupId]:artifactId:[version]:[classifier]}
	 * tries to find the matching URL of the running stub. You can also pass only
	 * {@code artifactId}.
	 * @param ivyNotation - Ivy representation of the Maven artifact
	 * @return URL of a running stub or throws exception if not found
	 * @throws StubNotFoundException in case of not finding a stub
	 */
	URL findStubUrl(String ivyNotation) throws StubNotFoundException;

	/**
	 * @return all running stubs
	 */
	RunningStubs findAllRunningStubs();

	/**
	 * @return the list of Contracts
	 */
	Map<StubConfiguration, Collection<Contract>> getContracts();

}

The following examples provide more detail about using Stub Runner:

		.withMappingsOutputFolder("target/outputmappingsforrule")


def 'should start WireMock servers'() {

}

def 'should output mappings to output folder'() {

	then:
		new File("target/outputmappingsforrule", "fraudDetectionServer_${url.port}").exists()
}

}
Junit 5
// Visible for Junit
@RegisterExtension
static StubRunnerExtension stubRunnerExtension = new StubRunnerExtension().repoRoot(repoRoot())
	.stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE)
	.downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs", "loanIssuance")
	.downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer")
	.withMappingsOutputFolder("target/outputmappingsforrule");

@BeforeAll
@AfterAll
static void setupProps() {
	System.clearProperty("stubrunner.repository.root");
	System.clearProperty("stubrunner.classifier");
}

private static String repoRoot() {
	try {
		return StubRunnerRuleJUnitTest.class.getResource("/m2repo/repository/").toURI().toString();
	}
	catch (Exception e) {
		return "";
	}
}

See the Common Properties for JUnit and Spring for more information on how to apply global configuration of Stub Runner.

To use the JUnit rule or JUnit 5 extension together with messaging, you have to provide an implementation of the MessageVerifierSender and MessageVerifierReceiver interface to the rule builder (for example, rule.messageVerifierSender(new MyMessageVerifierSender())). If you do not do this, then, whenever you try to send a message, an exception is thrown.

Maven Settings

The stub downloader honors Maven settings for a different local repository folder. Authentication details for repositories and profiles are currently not taken into account, so you need to specify it by using the properties mentioned above.

Providing Fixed Ports

You can also run your stubs on fixed ports. You can do it in two different ways. One is to pass it in the properties, and the other is to use the fluent API of JUnit rule.

Fluent API

When using the StubRunnerRule or StubRunnerExtension, you can add a stub to download and then pass the port for the last downloaded stub. The following example shows how to do so:

@ClassRule
public static StubRunnerRule rule = new StubRunnerRule().repoRoot(repoRoot())
	.stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE)
	.downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs", "loanIssuance")
	.withPort(35465)
	.downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer:35466");

@BeforeClass
@AfterClass
public static void setupProps() {
	System.clearProperty("stubrunner.repository.root");
	System.clearProperty("stubrunner.classifier");
}

For the preceding example, the following test is valid:

then(rule.findStubUrl("loanIssuance")).isEqualTo(URI.create("http://localhost:35465").toURL());
then(rule.findStubUrl("fraudDetectionServer")).isEqualTo(URI.create("http://localhost:35466").toURL());

Stub Runner with Spring

Stub Runner with Spring sets up Spring configuration of the Stub Runner project.

By providing a list of stubs inside your configuration file, Stub Runner automatically downloads and registers in WireMock the selected stubs.

If you want to find the URL of your stubbed dependency, you can autowire the StubFinder interface and use its methods, as follows:

@SpringBootTest(classes = Config, properties = [" stubrunner.cloud.enabled=false",
		'foo=${stubrunner.runningstubs.fraudDetectionServer.port}',
		'fooWithGroup=${stubrunner.runningstubs.org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs.fraudDetectionServer.port}'])
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(mappingsOutputFolder = "target/outputmappings/",
		httpServerStubConfigurer = HttpsForFraudDetection)
@ActiveProfiles("test")
class StubRunnerConfigurationSpec {

	@Autowired
	StubFinder stubFinder
	@Autowired
	Environment environment
	@StubRunnerPort("fraudDetectionServer")
	int fraudDetectionServerPort
	@StubRunnerPort("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer")
	int fraudDetectionServerPortWithGroupId
	@Value('${foo}')
	Integer foo

	@BeforeAll
	static void setupSpec() {
		System.clearProperty("stubrunner.repository.root")
		System.clearProperty("stubrunner.classifier")
		WireMockHttpServerStubAccessor.clear()
	}

	@AfterAll
	static void cleanupSpec() {
		setupSpec()
	}

	@Test
	void 'should mark all ports as random'() {
		expect:
		WireMockHttpServerStubAccessor.everyPortRandom()
	}

	@Test
	void 'should start WireMock servers'() {
		expect: 'WireMocks are running'
		assert stubFinder.findStubUrl('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs', 'loanIssuance') != null
		assert stubFinder.findStubUrl('loanIssuance') != null
		assert stubFinder.findStubUrl('loanIssuance') == stubFinder.findStubUrl('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs', 'loanIssuance')
		assert stubFinder.findStubUrl('loanIssuance') == stubFinder.findStubUrl('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance')
		assert stubFinder.findStubUrl('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT') == stubFinder.findStubUrl('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:stubs')
		assert stubFinder.findStubUrl('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer') != null
		and:
		assert stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().isPresent('loanIssuance')
		assert stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().isPresent('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs', 'fraudDetectionServer')
		assert stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().isPresent('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer')
		and: 'Stubs were registered'
		assert "${stubFinder.findStubUrl('loanIssuance').toString()}/name".toURL().text == 'loanIssuance'
		assert "${stubFinder.findStubUrl('fraudDetectionServer').toString()}/name".toURL().text == 'fraudDetectionServer'
		and: 'Fraud Detection is an HTTPS endpoint'
		assert stubFinder.findStubUrl('fraudDetectionServer').toString().startsWith("https")
	}

	@Test
	void 'should throw an exception when stub is not found'() {
		when:
			BDDAssertions.thenThrownBy(() -> stubFinder.findStubUrl('nonExistingService')).isInstanceOf(StubNotFoundException)
		when:
			BDDAssertions.thenThrownBy(() -> stubFinder.findStubUrl('nonExistingGroupId', 'nonExistingArtifactId'))
		.isInstanceOf(StubNotFoundException)
	}

	@Test
	void 'should register started servers as environment variables'() {
		expect:
		assert environment.getProperty("stubrunner.runningstubs.loanIssuance.port") != null
		assert stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().getPort("loanIssuance") == (environment.getProperty("stubrunner.runningstubs.loanIssuance.port") as Integer)
		and:
		assert environment.getProperty("stubrunner.runningstubs.fraudDetectionServer.port") != null
		assert stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().getPort("fraudDetectionServer") == (environment.getProperty("stubrunner.runningstubs.fraudDetectionServer.port") as Integer)
		and:
		assert environment.getProperty("stubrunner.runningstubs.fraudDetectionServer.port") != null
		assert stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().getPort("fraudDetectionServer") == (environment.getProperty("stubrunner.runningstubs.org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs.fraudDetectionServer.port") as Integer)
	}

	@Test
	void 'should be able to interpolate a running stub in the passed test property'() {
		given:
		int fraudPort = stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().getPort("fraudDetectionServer")
		expect:
		assert fraudPort > 0
		assert environment.getProperty("foo", Integer) == fraudPort
		assert environment.getProperty("fooWithGroup", Integer) == fraudPort
		assert foo == fraudPort
	}

//	@Issue("#573")
	@Test
	void 'should be able to retrieve the port of a running stub via an annotation'() {
		given:
		int fraudPort = stubFinder.findAllRunningStubs().getPort("fraudDetectionServer")
		expect:
		assert fraudPort > 0
		assert fraudDetectionServerPort == fraudPort
		assert fraudDetectionServerPortWithGroupId == fraudPort
	}

	@Test
	void 'should dump all mappings to a file'() {
		when:
		def url = stubFinder.findStubUrl("fraudDetectionServer")
		then:
		assert new File("target/outputmappings/", "fraudDetectionServer_${url.port}").exists()
	}

	@Configuration
	@EnableAutoConfiguration
	static class Config {}

	@CompileStatic
	static class HttpsForFraudDetection extends WireMockHttpServerStubConfigurer {

		private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(HttpsForFraudDetection)

		@Override
		WireMockConfiguration configure(WireMockConfiguration httpStubConfiguration, HttpServerStubConfiguration httpServerStubConfiguration) {
			if (httpServerStubConfiguration.stubConfiguration.artifactId == "fraudDetectionServer") {
				int httpsPort = TestSocketUtils.findAvailableTcpPort()
				log.info("Will set HTTPs port [" + httpsPort + "] for fraud detection server")
				return httpStubConfiguration
						.httpsPort(httpsPort)
			}
			return httpStubConfiguration
		}
	}
}

Doing so depends on the following configuration file:

stubrunner:
  repositoryRoot: classpath:m2repo/repository/
  ids:
    - org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance
    - org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer
    - org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:bootService
  stubs-mode: remote

Instead of using the properties, you can also use the properties inside the @AutoConfigureStubRunner. The following example achieves the same result by setting values on the annotation:

@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = ["org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance",
 "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer",
 "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:bootService"] ,
stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE ,
repositoryRoot = "classpath:m2repo/repository/" )

Stub Runner Spring registers environment variables in the following manner for every registered WireMock server. The following example shows Stub Runner IDs for com.example:thing1 and com.example:thing2:

  • stubrunner.runningstubs.thing1.port

  • stubrunner.runningstubs.com.example.thing1.port

  • stubrunner.runningstubs.thing2.port

  • stubrunner.runningstubs.com.example.thing2.port

You can reference these values in your code.

You can also use the @StubRunnerPort annotation to inject the port of a running stub. The value of the annotation can be the groupid:artifactid or only the artifactid. The following example works shows Stub Runner IDs for com.example:thing1 and com.example:thing2.

@StubRunnerPort("thing1")
int thing1Port;
@StubRunnerPort("com.example:thing2")
int thing2Port;
