Library provides ability to play contract tests against a provider service in JUnit fashionable way.
Supports:
-
Out-of-the-box convenient ways to load pacts
-
Easy way to change assertion strategy
-
org.junit.BeforeClass, org.junit.AfterClass and org.junit.ClassRule JUnit annotations, that will be run once - before/after whole contract test suite.
-
org.junit.Before, org.junit.After and org.junit.Rule JUnit annotations, that will be run before/after each test of an interaction.
-
au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.State custom annotation - before each interaction that requires a state change, all methods annotated by
@Statewith appropriate the state listed will be invoked. These methods must either take no parameters or a single Map parameter.
@RunWith(PactRunner.class) // Say JUnit to run tests with custom Runner
@Provider("myAwesomeService") // Set up name of tested provider
@PactFolder("pacts") // Point where to find pacts (See also section Pacts source in documentation)
public class ContractTest {
// NOTE: this is just an example of embedded service that listens to requests, you should start here real service
@ClassRule //Rule will be applied once: before/after whole contract test suite
public static final ClientDriverRule embeddedService = new ClientDriverRule(8332);
@BeforeClass //Method will be run once: before whole contract test suite
public static void setUpService() {
//Run DB, create schema
//Run service
//...
}
@Before //Method will be run before each test of interaction
public void before() {
// Rest data
// Mock dependent service responses
// ...
embeddedService.addExpectation(
onRequestTo("/data"), giveEmptyResponse()
);
}
@State("default", "no-data") // Method will be run before testing interactions that require "default" or "no-data" state
public void toDefaultState() {
// Prepare service before interaction that require "default" state
// ...
System.out.println("Now service in default state");
}
@State("with-data") // Method will be run before testing interactions that require "with-data" state
public void toStateWithData(Map data) {
// Prepare service before interaction that require "with-data" state. The provider state data will be passed
// in the data parameter
// ...
System.out.println("Now service in state using data " + data);
}
@TestTarget // Annotation denotes Target that will be used for tests
public final Target target = new HttpTarget(8332); // Out-of-the-box implementation of Target (for more information take a look at Test Target section)
} @RunWith(PactRunner.class) // Say JUnit to run tests with custom Runner
@Provider("myAwesomeService") // Set up name of tested provider
@PactBroker(host="pactbroker", port = "80")
public class ConfirmationKafkaContractTest {
@TestTarget // Annotation denotes Target that will be used for tests
public final Target target = new AmqpTarget(); // Out-of-the-box implementation of Target (for more information take a look at Test Target section)
@BeforeClass //Method will be run once: before whole contract test suite
public static void setUpService() {
//Run DB, create schema
//Run service
//...
}
@Before //Method will be run before each test of interaction
public void before() {
// Message data preparation
// ...
}
@PactVerifyProvider('an order confirmation message')
String verifyMessageForOrder() {
Order order = new Order()
order.setId(10000004)
order.setPrice(BigDecimal.TEN)
order.setUnits(15)
def message = new ConfirmationKafkaMessageBuilder()
.withOrder(order)
.build()
JsonOutput.toJson(message)
}
}For the provider states in the pact being verified, you can define methods to be invoked to setup the correct state
for each interaction. Just annotate a method with the au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.State annotation and the
method will be invoked before the interaction is verified.
For example:
@State("SomeProviderState") // Must match the state description in the pact file
public void someProviderState() {
// Do what you need to set the correct state
}If there are parameters in the pact file, just add a Map parameter to the method to be able to access those parameters.
@State("SomeProviderState")
public void someProviderState(Map<String, Object> providerStateParameters) {
// Do what you need to set the correct state
}If you need to tear down your provider state, you can annotate a method with the @State annotation with the action
set to StateChangeAction.TEARDOWN and it will be invoked after the interaction is verified.
@State("SomeProviderState", action = StateChangeAction.TEARDOWN)
public void someProviderStateCleanup() {
// Do what you need to to teardown the state
}You can have values from the provider state callbacks be injected into most places (paths, query parameters, headers, bodies, etc.). This works by using the V3 spec generators with provider state callbacks that return values. One example of where this would be useful is API calls that require an ID which would be auto-generated by the database on the provider side, so there is no way to know what the ID would be beforehand.
There are methods on the consumer DSLs that can provider an expression that contains variables (like '/api/user/${id}'
for the path). The provider state callback can then return a map for values, and the id attribute from the map will
be expanded in the expression. For this to work, just make your provider state method return a Map of the values.
If you have a large number of state change methods, you can split things up by moving them to other classes. There are two ways you can do this:
You can put the state change methods on interfaces and then have your test class implement those interfaces. See StateAnnotationsOnInterfaceTest for an example.
You can provide the additional classes to the test target with the withStateHandler or setStateHandlers methods. See
BooksPactProviderTest for an example.
The Pact runner will automatically collect pacts based on annotations on the test class. For this purpose there are 3 out-of-the-box options (files from a directory, files from a set of URLs or a pact broker) or you can easily add your own Pact source.
If you need to load a single pact file from the file system, use the PactUrl with the URL set to the file path.
Note: You can only define one source of pacts per test class.
To use pacts from a Pact Broker, annotate the test class with @PactBroker(host="host.of.pact.broker.com", port = "80").
You can also specify the protocol, which defaults to "http".
The pact broker will be queried for all pacts with the same name as the provider annotation.
For example, test all pacts for the "Activity Service" in the pact broker:
@RunWith(PactRunner.class)
@Provider("Activity Service")
@PactBroker(host = "localhost", port = "80")
public class PactJUnitTest {
@TestTarget
public final Target target = new HttpTarget(5050);
}The pact broker loader was updated to allow system properties to be used for the hostname, port or protocol. The port was changed to a string to allow expressions to be set.
To use a system property or environment variable, you can place the property name in ${} expression de-markers:
@PactBroker(host="${pactbroker.hostname}", port = "80")You can provide a default value by separating the property name with a colon (:):
@PactBroker(host="${pactbroker.hostname:localhost}", port = "80")The default values of the @PactBroker annotation now enable variable interpolation.
The following keys may be managed through the environment
pactbroker.hostpactbroker.portpactbroker.schemepactbroker.tags(comma separated)pactbroker.auth.username(for basic auth)pactbroker.auth.password(for basic auth)pactbroker.auth.token(for bearer auth)pactbroker.consumers(comma separated list to filter pacts by consumer; if not provided, will fetch all pacts for the provider)
The pact broker allows different versions to be tagged. To load all the pacts:
@PactBroker(host="pactbroker", port = "80", tags = {"latest", "dev", "prod"})The default value for tags is latest which is not actually a tag but instead corresponds to the latest version ignoring the tags. If there are multiple consumers matching the name specified in the provider annotation then the latest pact for each of the consumers is loaded.
For any other value the latest pact tagged with the specified tag is loaded.
Specifying multiple tags is an OR operation. For example if you specify tags = {"dev", "prod"} then both the latest pact file tagged with dev and the latest pact file taggged with prod is loaded.
You can use basic authentication with the @PactBroker annotation by setting the authentication value to a @PactBrokerAuth
annotation. For example:
@PactBroker(host = "${pactbroker.url:localhost}", port = "1234", tags = {"latest", "prod", "dev"},
authentication = @PactBrokerAuth(username = "test", password = "test"))Bearer tokens are also supported. For example:
@PactBroker(host = "${pactbroker.url:localhost}", port = "1234", tags = {"latest", "prod", "dev"},
authentication = @PactBrokerAuth(token = "test"))The token, username and password values also take Java system property expressions.
Preemptive Authentication can be enabled by setting the pact.pactbroker.httpclient.usePreemptiveAuthentication Java
system property to true.
To use pacts from urls annotate the test class with
@PactUrl(urls = {"http://build.server/zoo_app-animal_service.json"} )If you need to load a single pact file from the file system, you can use the PactUrl with the URL set to the file path.
To use pacts from a resource folder of the project annotate test class with
@PactFolder("subfolder/in/resource/directory")It's possible to use a custom Pact source. For this, implement interface au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.loader.PactLoader
and annotate the test class with @PactSource(MyOwnPactLoader.class). Note: class MyOwnPactLoader must have a default empty constructor or a constructor with one argument of class Class which at runtime will be the test class so you can get custom annotations of test class.
By default, the pact runner will verify all pacts for the given provider. You can filter the pacts and interactions by the following methods.
You can run only those pacts for a particular consumer by adding a @Consumer annotation to the test class.
For example:
@RunWith(PactRunner.class)
@Provider("Activity Service")
@Consumer("Activity Consumer")
@PactBroker(host = "localhost", port = "80")
public class PactJUnitTest {
@TestTarget
public final Target target = new HttpTarget(5050);
}You can filter the interactions that are executed by adding a @PactFilter annotation to your test class. The pact
filter annotation will then only verify interactions that have a matching provider state. You can provide multiple
states to match with.
For example:
@RunWith(PactRunner.class)
@Provider("Activity Service")
@PactBroker(host = "localhost", port = "80")
@PactFilter('Activity 100 exists in the database')
public class PactJUnitTest {
@TestTarget
public final Target target = new HttpTarget(5050);
}You can also use regular expressions with the filter. For example:
@RunWith(PactRunner.class)
@PactFilter('Activity \\d+ exists in the database')
public class PactJUnitTest {
}By default the pact runner will fail the verification test if no pact files are found to verify. To change the
failure into a warning, add a @IgnoreNoPactsToVerify annotation to your test class.
You can also set the test to ignore any IO and parser exceptions when loading the pact files by setting the
ignoreIoErrors attribute on the annotation to "true" or setting the JVM system property pact.verification.ignoreIoErrors
to true.
** WARNING! Do not enable this on your CI server, as this could result in your build passing with no providers having been verified due to a configuration error. **
The field in test class of type au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.target.Target annotated with au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.target.TestTarget
will be used for actual Interaction execution and asserting of contract.
Note: there must be exactly 1 such field, otherwise an InitializationException will be thrown.
au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.target.HttpTarget - out-of-the-box implementation of au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.target.Target
that will play pacts as http request and assert response from service by matching rules from pact.
You can also specify the protocol, defaults to "http".
au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.target.AmqpTarget - out-of-the-box implementation of au.com.dius.pact.provider.junit.target.Target
that will play pacts as an AMQP message and assert response from service by matching rules from pact.
Note for Maven users: If you use Maven to run your tests, you will have to make sure that the Maven Surefire plugin is at least version 2.22.1 uses an isolated classpath.
For example, configure it by adding the following to your POM:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.1</version>
<configuration>
<useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>
</configuration>
</plugin>Sometimes you may need to add things to the requests that can't be persisted in a pact file. Examples of these would
be authentication tokens, which have a small life span. The HttpTarget supports request filters by annotating methods
on the test class with @TargetRequestFilter. These methods must be public void methods that take a single HttpRequest
parameter.
For example:
@TargetRequestFilter
public void exampleRequestFilter(HttpRequest request) {
request.addHeader("Authorization", "OAUTH hdsagasjhgdjashgdah...");
}Important Note: You should only use this feature for things that can not be persisted in the pact file. By modifying the request, you are potentially modifying the contract from the consumer tests!
By default the paths loaded from the pact file will be decoded before the request is sent to the provider. To turn this
behaviour off, set the system property pact.verifier.disableUrlPathDecoding to true.
Important Note: If you turn off the url path decoding, you need to ensure that the paths in the pact files are correctly encoded. The verifier will not be able to make a request with an invalid encoded path.
It's possible to use custom Target, for that interface Target should be implemented and this class can be used instead of HttpTarget.
The default test behaviour is to display the verification being done to the console, and pass or fail the test via the normal JUnit mechanism. Additional reports can be generated from the tests.
A @VerificationReports annotation can be added to any pact test class which will control the verification output. The
annotation takes a list report types and an optional report directory (defaults to "target/pact/reports").
The currently supported report types are console, markdown and json.
For example:
@VerificationReports({"console", "markdown"})
public class MyPactTest {will enable the markdown report in addition to the normal console output. And,
@VerificationReports(value = {"markdown"}, reportDir = "/myreports")
public class MyPactTest {will disable the normal console output and write the markdown reports to "/myreports".
The additional reports can also be enabled with Java System properties or environment variables. The following two
properties have been introduced: pact.verification.reports and pact.verification.reportDir.
pact.verification.reports is the comma separated list of report types to enable (e.g. console,json,markdown).
pact.verification.reportDir is the directory to write reports to (defaults to "target/pact/reports").
The following report types are available in addition to console output (console, which is enabled by default):
markdown, json.
You can also provide a fully qualified classname as report so custom reports are also supported.
This class must implement au.com.dius.pact.provider.reporters.VerifierReporter interface in order to be correct custom implementation of a report.
For pacts that are loaded from a Pact Broker, the results of running the verification can be published back to the
broker against the URL for the pact. You will be able to see the result on the Pact Broker home screen. You need to
set the version of the provider that is verified using the pact.provider.version system property.
To enable publishing of results, set the property pact.verifier.publishResults to true.
You can have a tag pushed against the provider version before the verification results are published. To do this
you need set the pact.provider.tag JVM system property to the tag value.
