Prior to this commit, if a custom TestExecutionListener was registered
via @TestExecutionListeners the defaults would not be registered. Thus,
if a user wanted to declare a custom listener and use the default
listeners, the user was forced to manually declare all default
listeners in addition to any custom listeners. This unfortunately
required that the user know exactly which listeners were registered by
default. Moreover, the set of default listeners can change from release
to release, and with the support for automatic discovery of default
listeners introduced in SPR-11466 it is no longer even possible to know
what the set of default TestExecutionListeners is before runtime.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a mechanism for merging
custom declared listeners with the defaults for the current
environment. Specifically, @TestExecutionListeners supports a new
MergeMode that is used to control whether or not explicitly declared
listeners are merged with the default listeners when
@TestExecutionListeners is declared on a class that does not inherit
listeners from a superclass.
Issue: SPR-8854
Prior to this commit, there was no declarative mechanism for a custom
TestExecutionListener to be registered as a default
TestExecutionListener.
This commit introduces support for discovering default
TestExecutionListener implementations via the SpringFactoriesLoader
mechanism. Specifically, the spring-test module declares all core
default TestExecutionListeners under the
org.springframework.test.context.TestExecutionListener key in its
META-INF/spring.factories properties file, and third-party frameworks
and developers can contribute to the list of default
TestExecutionListeners in the same manner.
- AbstractTestContextBootstrapper uses the SpringFactoriesLoader to
look up the class names of all registered default
TestExecutionListeners and sorts the instantiated listeners using
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.
- DefaultTestContextBootstrapper and WebTestContextBootstrapper now
rely on the SpringFactoriesLoader mechanism for finding default
TestExecutionListeners instead of hard coding fully qualified class
names.
- To ensure that default TestExecutionListeners are registered in the
correct order, each can implement Ordered or declare @Order.
- AbstractTestExecutionListener and all default TestExecutionListeners
provided by Spring now implement Ordered with appropriate values.
- Introduced "copy constructors" in MergedContextConfiguration and
WebMergedContextConfiguration
- SpringFactoriesLoader now uses AnnotationAwareOrderComparator
instead of OrderComparator.
Issue: SPR-11466
Prior to this commit, if both locations and classes were declared via
@ContextConfiguration at differing levels in a test class hierarchy,
the exception message stated that neither of the default context
loaders was able to load an ApplicationContext from the merged context
configuration, but the message didn't explain why.
This commit adds an explicit check for such scenarios and provides a
more informative exception message similar to the following:
"Neither X nor Y supports loading an ApplicationContext from
[MergedContextConfiguration ...]: declare either 'locations' or
'classes' but not both."
Issue: SPR-12060
Spring Framework 3.1 introduced an Environment abstraction with support
for hierarchical PropertySources that can be configured
programmatically as well as declaratively via the @PropertySource
annotation. However, prior to this commit, there was no way to
declaratively configure PropertySources in integration tests in the
Spring TestContext Framework (TCF).
This commit introduces declarative support for PropertySources in the
TCF via a new class-level @TestPropertySource annotation. This
annotation provides two options for declaring test property sources:
- The 'locations' attribute allows developers to declare external
resource locations for test properties files.
- The 'properties' attribute allows developers to declare inlined
properties in the form of key-value pairs.
Test properties files are added to the Environment before all other
property sources and can therefore override system and application
property sources. Similarly, inlined properties are added to the
Environment before all other property sources and can therefore
override system property sources, application property sources, and
test properties files.
Specifically, this commit introduces the following major changes:
- Introduced @TestPropertySource annotation along with internal
TestPropertySourceAttributes, MergedTestPropertySources, and
TestPropertySourceUtils for working with test property sources
within the TCF.
- All TestContextBootstrappers have been modified to support the
merged property resource locations and inlined properties from
@TestPropertySource.
- MergedContextConfiguration (and consequently the context caching
key) is now additionally based on the merged property resource
locations and inlined properties from @TestPropertySource. The same
applies to WebMergedContextConfiguration.
- AbstractContextLoader's prepareContext() method now adds
PropertySources for all resource locations and inlined properties
from the supplied MergedContextConfiguration to the Environment of
the supplied ApplicationContext. All subclasses of
AbstractGenericContextLoader and AbstractGenericWebContextLoader
therefore automatically provide support for @TestPropertySource.
Issue: SPR-12051
Spring Framework 4.0 introduced first-class support for a Groovy-based
DSL for defining the beans for an ApplicationContext. However, prior to
this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) did not provide any
out-of-the-box support for using Groovy scripts as path-based resource
locations when loading an application context for tests.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing first-class support for
using Groovy scripts to load the ApplicationContext for integration
tests managed by the TCF. Specifically, the following changes have been
made in the TCF to support Groovy scripts.
- Introduced getResourceSuffixes() in AbstractContextLoader in order
to support multiple resource suffixes in the default detection
process. This feature is used by the new Groovy/Xml context loaders.
- Introduced GenericGroovyXmlContextLoader and
GenericGroovyXmlWebContextLoader which support both Groovy scripts
and XML config files for loading bean definitions. Furthermore,
these loaders support "-context.xml" and "Context.groovy" as
resource suffixes when detecting defaults. Note that a default XML
config file will be detected before a default Groovy script.
- DelegatingSmartContextLoader and WebDelegatingSmartContextLoader now
use reflection to choose between using GenericGroovyXmlContextLoader
and GenericGroovyXmlWebContextLoader vs. GenericXmlContextLoader and
GenericXmlWebContextLoader as their XML loaders, depending on
whether Groovy is present in the classpath.
- Groovy scripts can be configured via the 'locations' or 'value'
attributes of @ContextConfiguration and can be mixed seamlessly with
XML config files.
Issue: SPR-11233
This is a follow-up on the commit introducing MockMvcConfigurer:
c2b0fac852
This commit refines the MockMvcConfigurer contract to use (the new)
ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder hence not requiring downcasting to
AbstractMockMvcBuilder.
The same also no longer passes the "default" RequestBuilder which would
also require a downcast, but rather allows a RequestPostProcessor to be
returned so that a 3rd party framework or application can modify any
property of every performed MockHttpServletRequest.
To make this possible the new SmartRequestBuilder interface separates
request building from request post processing while the new
ConfigurableSmartRequestBuilder allows adding a RequestPostProcessor
to a MockMvcBuilder.
Issue: SPR-11497
Prior to this commit, the support for SQL script execution via @Sql
provided an algorithm for looking up a required
PlatformTransactionManager to use to drive transactions. However, a
transaction manager is not actually required for all testing scenarios.
This commit improves the transaction management support for @Sql so
that SQL scripts can be executed without a transaction if a transaction
manger is not present in the ApplicationContext. The updated algorithm
now supports the following use cases.
- If a transaction manager and data source are both present (i.e.,
explicitly specified via the transactionManager and dataSource
attributes of @SqlConfig or implicitly discovered in the
ApplicationContext based on conventions), both will be used.
- If a transaction manager is not explicitly specified and not
implicitly discovered based on conventions, SQL scripts will be
executed without a transaction but requiring the presence of a data
source. If a data source is not present, an exception will be thrown.
- If a data source is not explicitly specified and not implicitly
discovered based on conventions, an attempt will be made to retrieve
it by using reflection to invoke a public method named
getDataSource() on the transaction manager. If this attempt fails,
an exception will be thrown.
- If a data source can be retrieved from the resolved transaction
manager using reflection, an exception will be thrown if the
resolved data source is not the data source associated with the
resolved transaction manager. This helps to avoid possibly
unintended configuration errors.
- If @SqlConfig.transactionMode is set to ISOLATED, an exception will
be thrown if a transaction manager is not present.
Issue: SPR-11911
Prior to this commit, @Sql provided attributes for configuring the
syntax of the referenced SQL scripts as well as exception handling and
transaction behavior; however, such configuration could not be reused
across @Sql declarations thus requiring developers to copy-and-paste
common configuration and resulting in unnecessary code duplication.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a new @SqlConfig
annotation that can be used to declare common, global configuration for
SQL scripts that can be reused within a test class hierarchy.
- Introduced top-level @SqlConfig annotation and extracted
common configuration attributes from @Sql.
- @SqlConfig can be used at the class level for common, global config
or via the new 'config' attribute of @Sql for local config.
- Introduced MergedSqlConfig as a holder for the merged values from
local and global @SqlConfig instances. MergedSqlConfig also contains
the logic for overriding global configuration with local
configuration.
- Refactored all attributes of @SqlConfig to be either of type String
or custom enums in order to support overriding. Empty Strings or
DEFAULT enum values imply the use of a default or inherited value.
Issue: SPR-11896
After some further discussion:
The MVC config simplifies ViewResolver configuration especially where
content negotiation view resolution is involved.
The configuration of the underlying view technology however is kept
completely separate. In the case of the MVC namespace, dedicated
top-level freemarker, velocity, and tiles namespace elements are
provided. In the case of the MVC Java config, applications simply
declare FreeMarkerConfigurer, VelocityConfigurer, or TilesConfigurer
beans respectively.
Issue: SPR-7093
Following the separation of FreeMarker/Velocity/TilesConfigurer-related
configuration via separate interface, simplify and streamline the
view registration helper classes which no longer have much difference
(most are UrlBasedViewResolver's).
Updates to Javadoc and tests.
Issue: SPR-7093
This change improves the support for auto-registration of FreeMarker,
Velocity, and Tiles configuration.
The configuration is now conditional not only based on the classpath
but also based on whether a FreeMarkerConfigurer for example is already
present in the configuration.
This change also introduces FreeMarker~, Velocity~, and
TilesWebMvcConfigurer interfaces for customizing each view technology.
The WebMvcConfigurer can still be used to configure all view resolvers
centrally (including FreeMarker, Velocity, and Tiles) without some
default conifguration, i.e. without the need to use the new
~WebMvcConfigurer interfaces until customizations are required.
Issue: SPR-7093
This commit improves and completes the initial MVC namespace
view resolution implementation. ContentNegotiatingViewResolver
registration is now also supported.
Java Config view resolution support has been added.
FreeMarker, Velocity and Tiles view configurers are registered
depending on the classpath thanks to an ImportSelector.
For both, a default configuration is provided and documented.
Issue: SPR-7093
This change adds a method within the ModelResultMatcher that will allow
a user to assert whether the returned Model has an attribute with a
field that has a specific error associated with it.
Issue: SPR-11971
This commit introduces unit tests that attempt to reproduce the problem
described in Spring Boot issue 885; however, the tests pass and
therefore do not confirm the reported problem.
See: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/885
Historically, Spring's JUnit 3.8 TestCase class hierarchy supported
programmatic transaction management of "test-managed transactions" via
the protected endTransaction() and startNewTransaction() methods in
AbstractTransactionalSpringContextTests.
The Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) was introduced in Spring 2.5 to
supersede the legacy JUnit 3.8 support classes; however, prior to this
commit the TCF has not provided support for programmatically starting
or stopping the test-managed transaction.
This commit introduces a TestTransaction class in the TCF that provides
static utility methods for programmatically interacting with
test-managed transactions. Specifically, the following features are
supported by TestTransaction and its collaborators.
- End the current test-managed transaction.
- Start a new test-managed transaction, using the default rollback
semantics configured via @TransactionConfiguration and @Rollback.
- Flag the current test-managed transaction to be committed.
- Flag the current test-managed transaction to be rolled back.
Implementation Details:
- TransactionContext is now a top-level, package private class.
- The existing test transaction management logic has been extracted
from TransactionalTestExecutionListener into TransactionContext.
- The current TransactionContext is stored in a
NamedInheritableThreadLocal that is managed by
TransactionContextHolder.
- TestTransaction defines the end-user API, interacting with the
TransactionContextHolder behind the scenes.
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener now delegates to
TransactionContext completely for starting and ending transactions.
Issue: SPR-5079
Prior to this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) was
compatible with JUnit 4.5 or higher.
This commit effectively raises the minimum version of JUnit that is
officially supported by the TCF to JUnit 4.9, thereby aligning with
similar upgrades made in the Spring Framework 4.0 release (i.e.,
upgrading minimum requirements on third-party libraries to versions
released mid 2010 or later).
Issue: SPR-11908
Prior to this commit, SQL script annotations and related classes in the
TestContext framework (TCF) were named DatabaseInitializer*. However,
these annotations are not used only for initialization and are
therefore misleading when used for cleaning up the database.
This commit refines the names of annotations and related classes for
configuring SQL scripts to be executed for integration tests in the TCF
as follows:
- @DatabaseInitializer -> @Sql
- @DatabaseInitializers -> @SqlGroup
- DatabaseInitializerTestExecutionListener -> SqlScriptsTestExecutionListener
A special thanks goes out to the following attendees of the Zurich
Hackergarten meeting last night for their collective brainstorming:
@aalmiray, @atsticks, @ollin, @simkuenzi, @tangresh, @vyazelenko.
Issue: SPR-7655
Prior to this commit, it was possible to execute SQL scripts
programmatically via ResourceDatabasePopulator, JdbcTestUtils, and
ScriptUtils. Furthermore, it was also possible to execute SQL scripts
declaratively via the <jdbc> XML namespace. However, it was not
possible to execute SQL scripts declaratively on a per test class or
per test method basis.
This commit makes it possible to declaratively configure SQL scripts
for execution in integration tests via annotations that can be declared
at the class or method level. Details follow.
- Introduced a repeatable @DatabaseInitializer annotation that can be
used to configure SQL scripts at the class or method level with
method-level overrides. @DatabaseInitializers serves as a container
for @DatabaseInitializer.
- Introduced a new DatabaseInitializerTestExecutionListener that is
responsible for parsing @DatabaseInitializer and
@DatabaseInitializers and executing SQL scripts.
- DatabaseInitializerTestExecutionListener is registered by default in
abstract base test classes as well as in TestContextBootstrapper
implementations.
- @DatabaseInitializer and @DatabaseInitializers may be used as
meta-annotations; however, attribute overrides are not currently
supported for repeatable annotations used as meta-annotations. This
is a known limitation of Spring's AnnotationUtils.
- The semantics for locating SQL script resources is consistent with
@ContextConfiguration's semantics for locating XML configuration
files. In addition, a default SQL script can be detected based
either on the name of the annotated class or on the name of the
annotated test method.
- @DatabaseInitializer allows for specifying which DataSource and
PlatformTransactionManager to use from the test's
ApplicationContext, including default conventions consistent with
TransactionalTestExecutionListener and @TransactionConfiguration.
- @DatabaseInitializer supports all of the script configuration options
currently supported by ResourceDatabasePopulator.
- @DatabaseInitializer and DatabaseInitializerTestExecutionListener
support execution phases for scripts that dictate when SQL scripts
are executed (i.e., before or after a test method).
- SQL scripts can be executed within the current test's transaction if
present, outside of the current test's transaction if present, or
always in a new transaction, depending on the value of the boolean
requireNewTransaction flag in @DatabaseInitializer.
- DatabaseInitializerTestExecutionListener delegates to
ResourceDatabasePopulator#execute to actually execute the scripts.

This commit upgrades Hibernate-based integration tests in the
spring-test module to use Hibernate 4 instead of 3 and Hibernate
Validator 5 instead of 4. This streamlines and simplifies our
dependency management at the same time.
Issue: SPR-11834
Work done in conjunction with SPR-5243 and SPR-4588 introduced physical
package cycles in the spring-test module. The work performed in
conjunction with SPR-9924 uses reflection to resolve these physical
package cycles; however, prior to this commit the logical package
cycles still remain.
Furthermore, over time it has become apparent that the Spring
TestContext Framework (TCF) could better serve application developers
and especially third-party framework developers by providing a more
flexible mechanism for "bootstrapping" the TCF. For example, prior to
this commit, default TestExecutionListeners could only be registered by
subclassing TestContextManager (and SpringJUnit4ClassRunner if using
JUnit). Similarly, the default ContextLoader could only be set by
subclassing SpringJUnit4ClassRunner for JUnit and by copying and
modifying AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests for TestNG.
This commit addresses the aforementioned issues by introducing a
bootstrap strategy in the TestContext framework that is responsible for
determining default TestExecutionListeners and the default
ContextLoader in an extensible fashion. The new TestContextBootstrapper
SPI also provides a mechanism for supporting various types of
MergedContextConfiguration depending on the feature set of the context
loaders supported by the strategy.
The following provides an overview of the most significant changes in
this commit.
- Introduced TestContextBootstrapper strategy SPI, BootstrapContext,
and @BootstrapWith.
- Introduced AbstractTestContextBootstrapper,
DefaultTestContextBootstrapper, and WebTestContextBootstrapper
implementations of the TestContextBootstrapper SPI and extracted
related reflection code from ContextLoaderUtils & TestContextManager.
- Introduced BootstrapUtils for retrieving the TestContextBootstrapper
from @BootstrapWith, falling back to a default if @BootstrapWith is
not present.
- @WebAppConfiguration is now annotated with
@BootstrapWith(WebTestContextBootstrapper.class).
- CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate is now an interface with a new
DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate implementation class.
- Introduced closeContext(MergedContextConfiguration, HierarchyMode) in
CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate.
- DefaultTestContext now uses CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate instead
of interacting directly with the ContextCache.
- DefaultTestContext now delegates to a TestContextBootstrapper for
building the MergedContextConfiguration.
- TestContextManager now delegates to TestContextBootstrapper for
retrieving TestExecutionListeners.
- Deleted TestContextManager(Class, String) constructor and
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.getDefaultContextLoaderClassName(Class)
method since default ContextLoader support is now implemented by
TestContextBootstrappers.
- Extracted ActiveProfilesUtils from ContextLoaderUtils.
- Extracted ApplicationContextInitializerUtils from ContextLoaderUtils.
- MetaAnnotationUtils is now a public utility class in the test.util
package.
- Removed restriction in @ActiveProfiles that a custom resolver cannot
be used with the 'value' or 'profiles' attributes.
- Introduced DefaultActiveProfilesResolver.
Issue: SPR-9955
This commit introduces an explicit integration test to verify that a
PropertySource can be set via a custom ApplicationContextInitializer in
the Spring TestContext Framework.
Issue: SPR-11666
Prior to this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework did not support
the declaration of both 'locations' and 'classes' within
@ContextConfiguration at the same time.
This commit addresses this in the following manner:
- ContextConfigurationAttributes no longer throws an
IllegalArgumentException if both 'locations' and 'classes' are
supplied to its constructor.
- Concrete SmartContextLoader implementations now validate the
supplied MergedContextConfiguration before attempting to load the
ApplicationContext. See validateMergedContextConfiguration().
- Introduced tests for hybrid context loaders like the one used in
Spring Boot. See HybridContextLoaderTests.
- Updated the Testing chapter of the reference manual so that it no
longer states that locations and classes cannot be used
simultaneously, mentioning Spring Boot as well.
- The Javadoc for @ContextConfiguration has been updated accordingly.
- Added hasLocations(), hasClasses(), and hasResources() convenience
methods to MergedContextConfiguration.
Issue: SPR-11634
Prior to this commit, if multiple test methods were executed in a
subclass of AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests annotated with
@WebAppConfiguration, then injected Servlet API mocks would only
reference the mocks created for the first test method. Subsequent test
methods could therefore never reference the current mocks, and there
was a discrepancy between the state of the injected mocks and the mock
set in the RequestContextHolder.
This commit addresses this issue by ensuring that dependencies
(including updated mocks) are injected into the test instance before
the next test method if the ServletTestExecutionListener resets the
request attributes in RequestContextHolder.
Issue: SPR-11626
This commit adds new MockHttpServletRequestBuilder constructors
with an URI parameter in addition to the URL template + URL variables
existing ones.
It gives more control on how the URL is built, allowing for example to
use URL variables containing '/' character with proper encoding.
Issue: SPR-11441
This commit continues the work in the previous commit as follows:
- Introduced an exception hierarchy for exceptions related to SQL
scripts, with ScriptException as the base.
- CannotReadScriptException and ScriptStatementFailedException now
extend ScriptException.
- Introduced ScriptParseException, used by ScriptUtils.splitSqlScript().
- DatabasePopulatorUtils.execute() now explicitly throws a
DataAccessException.
- Polished Javadoc in ResourceDatabasePopulator.
- Overhauled Javadoc in ScriptUtils and documented all constants.
- Added missing @author tags for original authors in ScriptUtils and
ScriptUtilsTests.
- ScriptUtils.splitSqlScript() now asserts preconditions.
- Deleted superfluous methods in ScriptUtils and changed method
visibility to private or package private as appropriate.
- Deleted the ScriptStatementExecutor introduced in the previous
commit; ScriptUtils.executeSqlScript() now accepts a JDBC Connection;
JdbcTestUtils, AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests, and
AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests now use
DatabasePopulatorUtils to execute a ResourceDatabasePopulator instead
of executing a script directly via ScriptUtils.
- Introduced JdbcTestUtilsIntegrationTests.
Issue: SPR-9531
Prior to this commit neither ResourceDatabasePopulator nor
JdbcTestUtils properly supported multi-line comments (e.g., /* ... */).
Secondarily there has developed a significant amount of code
duplication in these two classes that has led to maintenance issues
over the years.
This commit addresses these issues as follows:
- Common code has been extracted from ResourceDatabasePopulator and
JdbcTestUtils and moved to a new ScriptUtils class in the
spring-jdbc module.
- Relevant test cases have been migrated from JdbcTestUtilsTests to
ScriptUtilsTests.
- ScriptUtils.splitSqlScript() has been modified to ignore multi-line
comments in scripts during processing.
- ResourceDatabasePopulator supports configuration of the start and end
delimiters for multi-line (block) comments.
- A new test case was added to ScriptUtilsTests for the new multi-line
comment support.
