Getting started with REST Service and Spring
This project was started when I wanted to create a simple REST service with Spring, just for practice.
Description
Practice building a REST Web Service with Spring from tutorial: https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/
How to start the application
If you are using Maven, you can run the application using 'mvn spring-boot:run'.
How to test the service (manually)
Once the project is running, go to: http://localhost:8080/greeting
Expected result: {"id":1,"content":"Hello, World!"}
Provide a name query string parameter with http://localhost:8080/greeting?name=User
Expected result: {"id":2,"content":"Hello, User!"}
Overview of some test frameworks to test REST Services
This simple service was used in a POC to compare several test frameworks for testing REST services.
How to test the service using cucumber from IntelliJ
- Install the Cucumber for Java plugin in IntelliJ
- Edit run configurations: set Glue to "cucumber.stepdefs"
- Run the feature file Note: The application is started from the test
How to test the service using restassured
- start the application (see above)
- run the test (HelloWorldTest.java) in the test/java/restassured folder
How to test the service using karate
- start the application (see above)
- run the test either by running the .feature file from the test/resources folder or by running the test file in the test/java/karate folder
