Pivotal Cloud Cache Testing Demo
- This demo covers how to write an integration test using a local in memory cloud cache
- Create a test configuration class that is annotated with
@CacheServerApplication, which will spin up a local cloud cache server
- Set the configuration to activate on a specfic test profile using the
@Profile annotation
- See CloudCacheTestConfig.java
@Configuration
@Profile("test")
@CacheServerApplication
public class CloudCacheTestConfig {
}
- Add
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) and @SpringBootTest to initialize the spring boot application
- Activiate the test profile set in the test configuration using
@ActiveProfiles
- Note that spinning up a spring cloud cache instance on each test can break other test classes by corrupting the application context
- Adding a
@DirtiesContext annotation will tell the test to reset the application context to not break other test classes
- Optionally can add
@AutoConfigureMockMvc like in the example if making Mock MVC requests is disired
- See StuffControllerTest.java
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
@ActiveProfiles("test")
@DirtiesContext
public class StuffControllerTest {
