LocalStack Java Utils

Java utilities and JUnit integration for LocalStack.

Prerequisites

  • Java
  • Maven
  • Docker
  • LocalStack

Usage

In order to use LocalStack with Java, this project provides a simple JUnit runner and a JUnit 5 extension. Take a look at the example JUnit tests in src/test/java.

By default, the JUnit Test Runner starts LocalStack in a Docker container, for the duration of the test. The container can be configured by using the @LocalstackDockerProperties annotation.

...
import cloud.localstack.LocalstackTestRunner;
import cloud.localstack.ServiceName;
import cloud.localstack.TestUtils;
import cloud.localstack.docker.annotation.LocalstackDockerProperties;

@RunWith(LocalstackTestRunner.class)
@LocalstackDockerProperties(services = { ServiceName.S3, "sqs", "kinesis" })
public class MyCloudAppTest {

  @Test
  public void testLocalS3API() {
    AmazonS3 s3 = TestUtils.getClientS3()
    List<Bucket> buckets = s3.listBuckets();
    ...
  }

}

Or with JUnit 5:

@ExtendWith(LocalstackDockerExtension.class)
@LocalstackDockerProperties(...)
public class MyCloudAppTest {
   ...
}

Installation

The LocalStack JUnit test runner is published as an artifact in Maven Central. Simply add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>cloud.localstack</groupId>
    <artifactId>localstack-utils</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.23</version>
</dependency>

Configuration

You can configure the Docker behaviour using the @LocalstackDockerProperties annotation with the following parameters:

property usage type default value
pullNewImage Determines if a new image is pulled from the docker repo before the tests are run. boolean false
services Determines which services should be run when the localstack starts. String[] All
imageName Use a specific image name (organisation/repo) for docker container String localstack/localstack
imageTag Use a specific image tag for docker container String latest
portEdge Port number for the edge service, the main entry point for all API invocations String 4566
portElasticSearch Port number for the elasticsearch service String 4571
hostNameResolver Used for determining the host name of the machine running the docker containers so that the containers can be addressed. IHostNameResolver localhost
environmentVariableProvider Used for injecting environment variables into the container. IEnvironmentVariableProvider Empty Map
bindMountProvider Used bind mounting files and directories into the container, useful to run init scripts before using the container. IBindMountProvider Empty Map
initializationToken Give a regex that will be searched in the logstream of the container, start is complete only when the token is found. Use with bindMountProvider to execute init scripts. String Empty String
useSingleDockerContainer Whether a singleton container should be used by all test classes. boolean false

For more details, please refer to the README of the main LocalStack repo: https://github.com/localstack/localstack

NOTE: These utilities assume docker is installed in one of the default locations (C:\program files\docker\docker\resources\bin\docker.exe, C:\program files\docker\docker\resources\docker.exe, usr/local/bin/docker or usr/bin/docker). If your docker executable is in a different location, then use the DOCKER_LOCATION environment variable to specify it.

Deprecated Configurations

Due to recent changes in LocalStack (exposing all services via a single edge port, 4566), the following configuration parameters are now deprecated in the latest version:

property usage type default value
randomizePorts Determines if the container should expose the default local stack ports (4567-4583) or if it should expose randomized ports. boolean false

Note: When specifying the port in the services property, you cannot use randomizePorts = true

Building

To build the latest version of the code via Maven:

make build

Releasing

To publish a release of the library, the "Maven Release" Github Action can be manually triggered in the repository, which will take the latest code on master branch and publish it to Maven Central.

PowerMock

You can use the PowerMock Library to call the builders default method and still get LocalStack version of the AWS clients.

...
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PowerMockRunnerDelegate(LocalstackTestRunner.class)
@LocalstackDockerProperties(services = { "ses" })
@PrepareForTest({ AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClientBuilder.class, AmazonSimpleEmailServiceAsyncClientBuilder.class })
@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.crypto.*", "org.hamcrest.*", "javax.net.ssl.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.*", "javax.xml.*", "org.xml.*", "javax.management.*", "javax.security.*", "org.w3c.*"})
public class SESMessagingTest {
....
    @Before
    public void mockSES() {
        AmazonSimpleEmailService mockSes = TestUtils.getClientSES();
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClientBuilder.class);
        when(AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClientBuilder.defaultClient()).thenReturn(mockSes);
    }
    @Test
    public void testSendEmail() throws Exception {
        AmazonSimpleEmailService client = amazonSimpleEmailServiceClientBuilder.defaultClient();
    ....

PowerMockLocalStack Utility

This utility makes easier to use PowerMock with Localstack.

...
public class PowerMockLocalStackExampleTest extends PowerMockLocalStack{
    private static final String TOPIC = "topic";
    @Before
    public void mock() {
        PowerMockLocalStack.mockSNS();
    }

    @Test
    public void testSendMessage() throws JMSException {
        final AmazonSNS clientSNS = AmazonSNSClientBuilder.defaultClient();
        ...
    }
}

Acknowledgements

I thank you Keith Humphreys, for showing us how to empower LocalStack with PowerMock to write tests even easier.
