Context Configuration with Groovy Scripts
To load an ApplicationContext
for your tests by using Groovy scripts that use the
Groovy Bean Definition DSL, you can annotate
your test class with @ContextConfiguration
and configure the locations
or value
attribute with an array that contains the resource locations of Groovy scripts. Resource
lookup semantics for Groovy scripts are the same as those described for
XML configuration files.
Enabling Groovy script support
Support for using Groovy scripts to load an ApplicationContext in the Spring
TestContext Framework is enabled automatically if Groovy is on the classpath.
|
The following example shows how to specify Groovy configuration files:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
// ApplicationContext will be loaded from "/AppConfig.groovy" and
// "/TestConfig.groovy" in the root of the classpath
@ContextConfiguration({"/AppConfig.groovy", "/TestConfig.Groovy"}) (1)
class MyTest {
// class body...
}
1 | Specifying the location of Groovy configuration files. |
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension::class)
// ApplicationContext will be loaded from "/AppConfig.groovy" and
// "/TestConfig.groovy" in the root of the classpath
@ContextConfiguration("/AppConfig.groovy", "/TestConfig.Groovy") (1)
class MyTest {
// class body...
}
1 | Specifying the location of Groovy configuration files. |
If you omit both the locations
and value
attributes from the @ContextConfiguration
annotation, the TestContext framework tries to detect a default Groovy script.
Specifically, GenericGroovyXmlContextLoader
and GenericGroovyXmlWebContextLoader
detect a default location based on the name of the test class. If your class is named
com.example.MyTest
, the Groovy context loader loads your application context from
"classpath:com/example/MyTestContext.groovy"
. The following example shows how to use
the default:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
// ApplicationContext will be loaded from
// "classpath:com/example/MyTestContext.groovy"
@ContextConfiguration (1)
class MyTest {
// class body...
}
1 | Loading configuration from the default location. |
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension::class)
// ApplicationContext will be loaded from
// "classpath:com/example/MyTestContext.groovy"
@ContextConfiguration (1)
class MyTest {
// class body...
}
1 | Loading configuration from the default location. |
Declaring XML configuration and Groovy scripts simultaneously
You can declare both XML configuration files and Groovy scripts simultaneously by using
the The following listing shows how to combine both in an integration test:
