# 7. Stub Runner for Messaging

Stub Runner can run the published stubs in memory. It can integrate with the following frameworks:

- Spring Integration
- Spring Cloud Stream
- Spring AMQP

It also provides entry points to integrate with any other solution on the market.

| Important
If you have multiple frameworks on the classpath Stub Runner will need to define which one should be used. Let’s assume that you have both AMQP, Spring Cloud Stream and Spring Integration on the classpath. Then you need to set `stubrunner.stream.enabled=false` and `stubrunner.integration.enabled=false`. That way the only remaining framework is Spring AMQP.

## 7.1 Stub triggering

To trigger a message, use the `StubTrigger` interface:

    package org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner;

    import java.util.Collection;
    import java.util.Map;

    public interface StubTrigger {

    	/**
    	 * Triggers an event by a given label for a given {@code groupid:artifactid} notation. You can use only {@code artifactId} too.
    	 *
    	 * Feature related to messaging.
    	 *
    	 * @return true - if managed to run a trigger
    	 */
    	boolean trigger(String ivyNotation, String labelName);

    	/**
    	 * Triggers an event by a given label.
    	 *
    	 * Feature related to messaging.
    	 *
    	 * @return true - if managed to run a trigger
    	 */
    	boolean trigger(String labelName);

    	/**
    	 * Triggers all possible events.
    	 *
    	 * Feature related to messaging.
    	 *
    	 * @return true - if managed to run a trigger
    	 */
    	boolean trigger();

    	/**
    	 * Returns a mapping of ivy notation of a dependency to all the labels it has.
    	 *
    	 * Feature related to messaging.
    	 */
    	Map<String, Collection<String>> labels();
    }

For convenience, the `StubFinder` interface extends `StubTrigger`, so you only need one or the other in your tests.

`StubTrigger` gives you the following options to trigger a message:

- Section 7.1.1, “Trigger by Label”
- Section 7.1.2, “Trigger by Group and Artifact Ids”
- Section 7.1.3, “Trigger by Artifact Ids”
- Section 7.1.4, “Trigger All Messages”

### 7.1.1 Trigger by Label

    stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')

### 7.1.2 Trigger by Group and Artifact Ids

    stubFinder.trigger('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:streamService', 'return_book_1')

### 7.1.3 Trigger by Artifact Ids

    stubFinder.trigger('streamService', 'return_book_1')

### 7.1.4 Trigger All Messages

    stubFinder.trigger()

## 7.2 Stub Runner Integration

Spring Cloud Contract Verifier Stub Runner’s messaging module gives you an easy way to integrate with Spring Integration. For the provided artifacts, it automatically downloads the stubs and registers the required routes.

### 7.2.1 Adding the Runner to the Project

You can have both Spring Integration and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the classpath. Remember to annotate your test class with `@AutoConfigureStubRunner`.

### 7.2.2 Disabling the functionality

If you need to disable this functionality, set the `stubrunner.integration.enabled=false` property.

Assume that you have the following Maven repository with deployed stubs for the `integrationService` application:

    └── .m2
        └── repository
            └── io
                └── codearte
                    └── accurest
                        └── stubs
                            └── integrationService
                                ├── 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
                                │   ├── integrationService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.pom
                                │   ├── integrationService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
                                │   └── maven-metadata-local.xml
                                └── maven-metadata-local.xml

Further assume the stubs contain the following structure:

    ├── META-INF
    │   └── MANIFEST.MF
    └── repository
        ├── accurest
        │   ├── bookDeleted.groovy
        │   ├── bookReturned1.groovy
        │   └── bookReturned2.groovy
        └── mappings

Consider the following contracts (numbered 1):

    Contract.make {
    	label 'return_book_1'
    	input {
    		triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()')
    	}
    	outputMessage {
    		sentTo('output')
    		body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
    		headers {
    			header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
    		}
    	}
    }

Now consider 2:

    Contract.make {
    	label 'return_book_2'
    	input {
    		messageFrom('input')
    		messageBody([
    				bookName: 'foo'
    		])
    		messageHeaders {
    			header('sample', 'header')
    		}
    	}
    	outputMessage {
    		sentTo('output')
    		body([
    				bookName: 'foo'
    		])
    		headers {
    			header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
    		}
    	}
    }

and the following Spring Integration Route:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration"
    			 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    			 xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    			 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    			https://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
    			http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration
    			https://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/spring-integration.xsd">

    	<!-- REQUIRED FOR TESTING -->
    	<bridge input-channel="output"
    			output-channel="outputTest"/>

    	<channel id="outputTest">
    		<queue/>
    	</channel>

    </beans:beans>

These examples lend themselves to three scenarios:

- the section called “Scenario 1 (no input message)”
- ???
- the section called “Scenario 3 (input with no output)”

#### Scenario 1 (no input message)

To trigger a message via the `return_book_1` label, use the `StubTigger` interface, as follows:

    stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')

To listen to the output of the message sent to `output`:

    Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('outputTest')

The received message would pass the following assertions:

    receivedMessage != null
    assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
    receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'

#### Scenario 2 (output triggered by input)

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the `output` destination:

    messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'input')

To listen to the output of the message sent to `output`:

    Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('outputTest')

The received message passes the following assertions:

    receivedMessage != null
    assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
    receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'

#### Scenario 3 (input with no output)

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the `input` destination:

    messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'delete')

## 7.3 Stub Runner Stream

Spring Cloud Contract Verifier Stub Runner’s messaging module gives you an easy way to integrate with Spring Stream. For the provided artifacts, it automatically downloads the stubs and registers the required routes.

| Warning
If Stub Runner’s integration with Stream the `messageFrom` or `sentTo` Strings are resolved first as a `destination` of a channel and no such `destination` exists, the destination is resolved as a channel name.

| Important
If you want to use Spring Cloud Stream remember, to add a dependency on `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream-test-support`.

Maven.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-stream-test-support</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Gradle.

    testCompile "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream-test-support"

### 7.3.1 Adding the Runner to the Project

You can have both Spring Cloud Stream and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the classpath. Remember to annotate your test class with `@AutoConfigureStubRunner`.

### 7.3.2 Disabling the functionality

If you need to disable this functionality, set the `stubrunner.stream.enabled=false` property.

Assume that you have the following Maven repository with a deployed stubs for the `streamService` application:

    └── .m2
        └── repository
            └── io
                └── codearte
                    └── accurest
                        └── stubs
                            └── streamService
                                ├── 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
                                │   ├── streamService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.pom
                                │   ├── streamService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
                                │   └── maven-metadata-local.xml
                                └── maven-metadata-local.xml

Further assume the stubs contain the following structure:

    ├── META-INF
    │   └── MANIFEST.MF
    └── repository
        ├── accurest
        │   ├── bookDeleted.groovy
        │   ├── bookReturned1.groovy
        │   └── bookReturned2.groovy
        └── mappings

Consider the following contracts (numbered 1):

    Contract.make {
    	label 'return_book_1'
    	input { triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()') }
    	outputMessage {
    		sentTo('returnBook')
    		body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
    		headers { header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo') }
    	}
    }

Now consider 2:

    Contract.make {
    	label 'return_book_2'
    	input {
    		messageFrom('bookStorage')
    		messageBody([
    			bookName: 'foo'
    		])
    		messageHeaders { header('sample', 'header') }
    	}
    	outputMessage {
    		sentTo('returnBook')
    		body([
    			bookName: 'foo'
    		])
    		headers { header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo') }
    	}
    }

Now consider the following Spring configuration:

    stubrunner.repositoryRoot: classpath:m2repo/repository/
    stubrunner.ids: org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:streamService:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:stubs
    stubrunner.stubs-mode: remote
    spring:
      cloud:
        stream:
          bindings:
            output:
              destination: returnBook
            input:
              destination: bookStorage

    server:
      port: 0

    debug: true

These examples lend themselves to three scenarios:

- the section called “Scenario 1 (no input message)”
- the section called “Scenario 2 (output triggered by input)”
- the section called “Scenario 3 (input with no output)”

#### Scenario 1 (no input message)

To trigger a message via the `return_book_1` label, use the `StubTrigger` interface as follows:

    stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')

To listen to the output of the message sent to a channel whose `destination` is `returnBook`:

    Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('returnBook')

The received message passes the following assertions:

    receivedMessage != null
    assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
    receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'

#### Scenario 2 (output triggered by input)

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the `bookStorage` `destination`:

    messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'bookStorage')

To listen to the output of the message sent to `returnBook`:

    Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('returnBook')

The received message passes the following assertions:

    receivedMessage != null
    assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
    receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'

#### Scenario 3 (input with no output)

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the `output` destination:

    messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'delete')

## 7.4 Stub Runner Spring AMQP

Spring Cloud Contract Verifier Stub Runner’s messaging module provides an easy way to integrate with Spring AMQP’s Rabbit Template. For the provided artifacts, it automatically downloads the stubs and registers the required routes.

The integration tries to work standalone (that is, without interaction with a running RabbitMQ message broker). It expects a `RabbitTemplate` on the application context and uses it as a spring boot test named `@SpyBean`. As a result, it can use the mockito spy functionality to verify and inspect messages sent by the application.

On the message consumer side, the stub runner considers all `@RabbitListener` annotated endpoints and all `SimpleMessageListenerContainer` objects on the application context.

As messages are usually sent to exchanges in AMQP, the message contract contains the exchange name as the destination. Message listeners on the other side are bound to queues. Bindings connect an exchange to a queue. If message contracts are triggered, the Spring AMQP stub runner integration looks for bindings on the application context that match this exchange. Then it collects the queues from the Spring exchanges and tries to find message listeners bound to these queues. The message is triggered for all matching message listeners.

### 7.4.1 Adding the Runner to the Project

You can have both Spring AMQP and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the classpath and set the property `stubrunner.amqp.enabled=true`. Remember to annotate your test class with `@AutoConfigureStubRunner`.

| Important
If you already have Stream and Integration on the classpath, you need to disable them explicitly by setting the `stubrunner.stream.enabled=false` and `stubrunner.integration.enabled=false` properties.

Assume that you have the following Maven repository with a deployed stubs for the `spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test` application.

    └── .m2
        └── repository
            └── com
                └── example
                    └── spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test
                        ├── 0.4.0-SNAPSHOT
                        │   ├── spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test-0.4.0-SNAPSHOT.pom
                        │   ├── spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test-0.4.0-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
                        │   └── maven-metadata-local.xml
                        └── maven-metadata-local.xml

Further assume that the stubs contain the following structure:

    ├── META-INF
    │   └── MANIFEST.MF
    └── contracts
        └── shouldProduceValidPersonData.groovy

Consider the following contract:

    Contract.make {
        // Human readable description
        description 'Should produce valid person data'
        // Label by means of which the output message can be triggered
        label 'contract-test.person.created.event'
        // input to the contract
        input {
            // the contract will be triggered by a method
            triggeredBy('createPerson()')
        }
        // output message of the contract
        outputMessage {
            // destination to which the output message will be sent
            sentTo 'contract-test.exchange'
            headers {
                header('contentType': 'application/json')
                header('__TypeId__': 'org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.messaging.amqp.Person')
            }
            // the body of the output message
            body ([
                    id: $(consumer(9), producer(regex("[0-9]+"))),
                    name: "me"
            ])
        }
    }

Now consider the following Spring configuration:

    stubrunner:
      repositoryRoot: classpath:m2repo/repository/
      ids: org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs.amqp:spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test:0.4.0-SNAPSHOT:stubs
      stubs-mode: remote
      amqp:
        enabled: true
    server:
      port: 0

#### Triggering the message

To trigger a message using the contract above, use the `StubTrigger` interface as follows:

    stubTrigger.trigger("contract-test.person.created.event")

The message has a destination of `contract-test.exchange`, so the Spring AMQP stub runner integration looks for bindings related to this exchange.

    @Bean
    public Binding binding() {
    	return BindingBuilder.bind(new Queue("test.queue")).to(new DirectExchange("contract-test.exchange")).with("#");
    }

The binding definition binds the queue `test.queue`. As a result, the following listener definition is matched and invoked with the contract message.

    @Bean
    public SimpleMessageListenerContainer simpleMessageListenerContainer(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory,
    																		MessageListenerAdapter listenerAdapter) {
    	SimpleMessageListenerContainer container = new SimpleMessageListenerContainer();
    	container.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
    	container.setQueueNames("test.queue");
    	container.setMessageListener(listenerAdapter);

    	return container;
    }

Also, the following annotated listener matches and is invoked:

    @RabbitListener(bindings = @QueueBinding(
    		value = @Queue(value = "test.queue"),
    		exchange = @Exchange(value = "contract-test.exchange", ignoreDeclarationExceptions = "true")))
    public void handlePerson(Person person) {
    	this.person = person;
    }

| Note
The message is directly handed over to the `onMessage` method of the `MessageListener` associated with the matching `SimpleMessageListenerContainer`.

#### Spring AMQP Test Configuration

In order to avoid Spring AMQP trying to connect to a running broker during our tests configure a mock `ConnectionFactory`.

To disable the mocked ConnectionFactory, set the following property: `stubrunner.amqp.mockConnection=false`

    stubrunner:
      amqp:
        mockConnection: false
