How to write a unit test case by using Mockito and Web Controller

Unit Testing is a one of the testings done by the developers to make sure individual unit or component functionalities are working fine.

In this blog, we are going to see how to write a unit test case by using Mockito and Web Controller.

Mockito

For injecting Mockito Mocks into Spring Beans, we need to add the Mockito-core dependency in our build configuration file.

Maven users can add the following dependency in your pom.xml file.

<dependency>   <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>   <artifactId>mockito-core</artifactId>   <version>2.13.0</version></dependency><dependency>   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>   <scope>test</scope></dependency>

Gradle users can add the following dependency in the build.gradle file.

compile group: ‘org.mockito’, name: ‘mockito-core’, version: ‘2.13.0’testCompile(‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test’)

The code to write a Service class which contains a method that returns the String value is given here.

package com.tecklearn.mockitodemo; import org.springframework.stereotype.Service; @Servicepublic class ProductService {   public String getProductName() {      return “Honey”;   } }

Now, inject the ProductService class into another Service class file as shown.

package com.tecklearn.mockitodemo; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;import org.springframework.stereotype.Service; @Servicepublic class OrderService {   @Autowired   ProductService productService;    public OrderService(ProductService productService) {      this.productService = productService;   }   public String getProductName() {      return productService.getProductName();   }}

The main Spring Boot application class file is given below −

package com.tecklearn.mockitodemo; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; @SpringBootApplicationpublic class MockitoDemoApplication {   public static void main(String[] args) {      SpringApplication.run(MockitoDemoApplication.class, args);   }}

Then, configure the Application context for the tests. The @Profile(“test”) annotation is used to configure the class when the Test cases are running.

package com.tecklearn.mockitodemo; import org.mockito.Mockito;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Primary;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Profile; @Profile(“test”)@Configurationpublic class ProductServiceTestConfiguration {   @Bean   @Primary   public ProductService productService() {      return Mockito.mock(ProductService.class);   }}

Now, you can write a Unit Test case for Order Service under the src/test/resources package.

package com.tecklearn.mockitodemo; import org.junit.Assert;import org.junit.Test;import org.junit.runner.RunWith;import org.mockito.Mockito;import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;import org.springframework.test.context.ActiveProfiles;import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner; @SpringBootTest@ActiveProfiles(“test”)@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)public class MockitoDemoApplicationTests {   @Autowired   private OrderService orderService;      @Autowired   private ProductService productService;    @Test   public void whenUserIdIsProvided_thenRetrievedNameIsCorrect() {      Mockito.when(productService.getProductName()).thenReturn(“Mock Product Name”);      String testName = orderService.getProductName();      Assert.assertEquals(“Mock Product Name”, testName);   }}

The complete code for build configuration file is given below.

Maven – pom.xml

<?xml version = “1.0” encoding = “UTF-8”?><project xmlns = “http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0”    xmlns:xsi = “http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”   xsi:schemaLocation = “http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0    http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd”>      <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>   <groupId>com.tecklearn</groupId>   <artifactId>mockito-demo</artifactId>   <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>   <packaging>jar</packaging>    <name>mockito-demo</name>   <description>Demo project for Spring Boot</description>    <parent>      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>      <version>1.5.9.RELEASE</version>      <relativePath /> <!– lookup parent from repository –>   </parent>    <properties>      <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>      <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>      <java.version>1.8</java.version>   </properties>    <dependencies>      <dependency>         <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>         <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>      </dependency>      <dependency>         <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>         <artifactId>mockito-core</artifactId>         <version>2.13.0</version>      </dependency>      <dependency>         <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>         <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>         <scope>test</scope>      </dependency>   </dependencies>    <build>      <plugins>         <plugin>            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>         </plugin>      </plugins>   </build>   </project>

Gradle – build.gradle

buildscript {   ext {      springBootVersion = ‘1.5.9.RELEASE’   }   repositories {      mavenCentral()   }   dependencies {      classpath(“org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}”)   }} apply plugin: ‘java’apply plugin: ‘eclipse’apply plugin: ‘org.springframework.boot’ group = ‘com.tecklearn’version = ‘0.0.1-SNAPSHOT’sourceCompatibility = 1.8 repositories {   mavenCentral()}dependencies {   compile(‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter’)   compile group: ‘org.mockito’, name: ‘mockito-core’, version: ‘2.13.0’   testCompile(‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test’)}

You can create an executable JAR file, and run the Spring Boot application by using the following Maven or Gradle1 commands.

For Maven, you can use the command as shown −

mvn clean install

You can see the test results in console window.

clean install

For Gradle, you can use the command as shown −

gradle clean build

You can see the rest results in console window.
