Prior to this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) supported
the use of test-related annotations as meta-annotations for composing
custom test stereotype annotations; however, attributes in custom
stereotypes could not be used to override meta-annotation attributes.
This commit addresses this by allowing attributes from the following
annotations (when used as meta-annotations) to be overridden in custom
stereotypes.
- @ContextConfiguration
- @ActiveProfiles
- @DirtiesContext
- @TransactionConfiguration
- @Timed
- @TestExecutionListeners
This support depends on functionality provided by
AnnotatedElementUtils. See the 'Notes' below for further details and
ramifications.
Notes:
- AnnotatedElementUtils does not support overrides for the 'value'
attribute of an annotation. It is therefore not possible or not
feasible to support meta-annotation attribute overrides for some
test-related annotations.
- @ContextHierarchy, @WebAppConfiguration, @Rollback, @Repeat, and
@ProfileValueSourceConfiguration define single 'value' attributes
which cannot be overridden via Spring's meta-annotation attribute
support.
- Although @IfProfileValue has 'values' and 'name' attributes, the
typical usage scenario involves the 'value' attribute which is not
supported for meta-annotation attribute overrides. Furthermore,
'name' and 'values' are so generic that it is deemed unfeasible to
provide meta-annotation attribute override support for these.
- @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction do not define any attributes
that can be overridden.
- Support for meta-annotation attribute overrides for @Transactional is
provided indirectly via SpringTransactionAnnotationParser.
Implementation Details:
- MetaAnnotationUtils.AnnotationDescriptor now provides access to the
AnnotationAttributes for the described annotation.
- MetaAnnotationUtils.AnnotationDescriptor now provides access to the
root declaring class as well as the declaring class.
- ContextLoaderUtils now retrieves AnnotationAttributes from
AnnotationDescriptor to look up annotation attributes for
@ContextConfiguration and @ActiveProfiles.
- ContextConfigurationAttributes now provides a constructor to have its
attributes sourced from an instance of AnnotationAttributes.
- ContextLoaderUtils.resolveContextHierarchyAttributes() now throws an
IllegalStateException if no class in the class hierarchy declares
@ContextHierarchy.
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener now uses AnnotatedElementUtils to
look up annotation attributes for @TransactionConfiguration.
- Implemented missing unit tests for @Rollback resolution in
TransactionalTestExecutionListener.
- SpringJUnit4ClassRunner now uses AnnotatedElementUtils to look up
annotation attributes for @Timed.
- TestContextManager now retrieves AnnotationAttributes from
AnnotationDescriptor to look up annotation attributes for
@TestExecutionListeners.
- DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener now uses AnnotatedElementUtils to
look up annotation attributes for @DirtiesContext.
Issue: SPR-11038
This change fixes a timing issue in tests using Spring MVC Tests where
assertions on an async result may not wait long enough.
The fix involves the use of a new callback in MockAsyncContext that
allows tests to detect when an async dispatch has been invoked.
Issue: SPR-10838
@Rollback now supports ANNOTATION_TYPE as a target, allowing it to be
used as meta-annotation.
Note: this change was accidentally omitted from the original commit for
SPR-7827.
Issue: SPR-7827
Fix remaining Java compiler warnings, mainly around missing
generics or deprecated code.
Also add the `-Werror` compiler option to ensure that any future
warnings will fail the build.
Issue: SPR-11064
Commit deba32cad9 upgraded the Servlet API mocks to Servlet 3.0;
however, not all of the Javadoc was updated accordingly.
This commit updates the remaining Javadoc with regard to Servlet 3.0 as
the baseline for mocks in the spring-test module.
In addition, this commit syncs up the mocks used for internal testing in
the spring-web module with the most current versions from spring-test.
Issue: SPR-11049
Spring 3.0 already allows component stereotypes to be used in a
meta-annotation fashion, for example by creating a custom
@TransactionalService stereotype annotation which combines
@Transactional and @Service in a single, reusable, application-specific
annotation. However, the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) currently
does not provide any support for test-related annotations to be used as
meta-annotations.
This commit overhauls the TCF with regard to how annotations are
retrieved and adds explicit support for the following annotations to be
used as meta-annotations in conjunction with the TCF.
- @ContextConfiguration
- @ContextHierarchy
- @ActiveProfiles
- @DirtiesContext
- @IfProfileValue
- @ProfileValueSourceConfiguration
- @BeforeTransaction
- @AfterTransaction
- @TransactionConfiguration
- @Rollback
- @TestExecutionListeners
- @Repeat
- @Timed
- @WebAppConfiguration
Note that meta-annotation support for @Transactional was already
available prior to this commit.
The following is a summary of the major changes included in this commit.
- Now using AnnotationUtils.getAnnotation() instead of
Class.getAnnotation() where appropriate in the TestContext Framework.
- Now using AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation() instead of
Class.isAnnotationPresent() where appropriate in the TestContext
Framework.
- Introduced findAnnotationPrefersInteracesOverLocalMetaAnnotations() in
AnnotationUtilsTests in order to verify the status quo.
- AnnotationUtils.findAnnotationDeclaringClass() and
AnnotationUtils.findAnnotationDeclaringClassForTypes() now support
meta annotations.
- Introduced MetaAnnotationUtils and AnnotationDescriptor in the
spring-test module.
- Introduced UntypedAnnotationDescriptor in MetaAnnotationUtils.
- Introduced findAnnotationDescriptorForTypes() in MetaAnnotationUtils.
- ContextLoaderUtils now uses MetaAnnotationUtils for looking up
@ActiveProfiles as a potential meta-annotation.
- TestContextManager now uses MetaAnnotationUtils for looking up
@TestExecutionListeners as a potential meta-annotation.
- DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener now uses AnnotationUtils for
looking up @DirtiesContext as a potential meta-annotation.
- Introduced DirtiesContextTestExecutionListenerTests.
- ProfileValueUtils now uses AnnotationUtils for looking up
@IfProfileValue and @ProfileValueSourceConfiguration as potential
meta-annotations.
- @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction now support ANNOTATION_TYPE
as a target, allowing them to be used as meta-annotations.
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener now uses AnnotationUtils for
looking up @BeforeTransaction, @AfterTransaction, @Rollback, and
@TransactionConfiguration as potential meta-annotations.
- Introduced TransactionalTestExecutionListenerTests.
- @Repeat and @Timed now support ANNOTATION_TYPE as a target, allowing
them to be used as meta-annotations.
- SpringJUnit4ClassRunner now uses AnnotationUtils for looking up
@Repeat and @Timed as potential meta-annotations.
- Moved all remaining logic for building the MergedContextConfiguration
from the DefaultTestContext constructor to
ContextLoaderUtils.buildMergedContextConfiguration().
- Verified meta-annotation support for @WebAppConfiguration and
@ContextConfiguration.
Issue: SPR-7827
Since the Spring TestContext Framework was introduced in Spring
Framework 2.5, the TestContext class has always been a public class
with package private constructors. The visibility of TestContext's
constructor and methods was intentionally limited in order to hide the
implementation details of the context cache, etc. However, this fact
has made it difficult (if not impossible) to unit test custom
TestExecutionListener implementations.
This commit addresses this issue by converting TestContext into a
public interface with a package private DefaultTestContext
implementation. This enables unit testing of any components that depend
on a TestContext (e.g., TestExecutionListeners) while at the same time
preserving the encapsulation of the inner workings of the TestContext
implementation with regard to context loading and caching.
Issue: SPR-7692
Prior to this commit, the uniqueness check for @ContextConfiguration
attributes within a @ContextHierarchy was performed at a single test
class level instead of against the merged configuration for all test
class levels in the test class hierarchy.
This commit addresses this issue by moving the uniqueness check
algorithm from resolveContextHierarchyAttributes() to
buildContextHierarchyMap() within ContextLoaderUtils.
Issue: SPR-10997
Prior to this commit, one could call the setStatus method on
this Mock object and update the response's status,
even though the sendError method had already been called.
According to the HttpServletResponse Javadoc, sendError() methods
commit the response; so the response can't be written after that.
This commit fixes MockHttpServletResponse's behavior; setStatus
methods do not update the status once the response has been
committed.
Issue: SPR-10414
This commit undoes the changes made in ec5d81e78e and ensures that the
getRequestURL() method in MockHttpServletRequest does not include the
String "null" for a null requestURI by first checking if the requestURI
contains text before including it in the composed URL.
Issue: SPR-10643
A getCookies method is now available on ServerHttpRequest with one
ServletServerCookie implementation that wraps a Servlet cookie.
The SockJS service makes use of this to check for an existing session
cookie in the request.
This commit refactors ContextLoaderUtilsTests into
AbstractContextLoaderUtilsTests and several specialized subclasses in
order to reduce to the growing complexity of ContextLoaderUtilsTests.
Prior to this commit, the active bean definition profiles to use when
loading an ApplicationContext for tests could only be configured
declaratively (i.e., via hard-coded values supplied to the 'value' or
'profiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles).
This commit makes it possible to programmatically configure active bean
definition profiles in tests via a new ActiveProfileResolver interface.
Custom resolvers can be registered via a new 'resolver' attribute
introduced in @ActiveProfiles.
Overview of changes:
- Introduced a new ActiveProfilesResolver API.
- Added a 'resolver' attribute to @ActiveProfiles.
- Updated ContextLoaderUtils.resolveActiveProfiles() to support
ActiveProfilesResolvers.
- Documented these new features in the reference manual.
- Added new content to the reference manual regarding the
'inheritProfiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles
- Removed the use of <lineannotation> Docbook markup in the testing
chapter of the reference manual for Java code examples in order to
allow comments to have proper syntax highlighting in the generated
HTML and PDF.
Issue: SPR-10338
The Javadoc for several methods in HttpSession specifies that an
IllegalStateException must be thrown if the method is called on an
invalidated session; however, Spring's MockHttpSession did not implement
this behavior consistently prior to this commit.
This commit therefore ensures that the following methods in
MockHttpSession properly throw an IllegalStateException as defined in
the Servlet specification.
- long getCreationTime()
- long getLastAccessedTime()
- Object getAttribute(String)
- Object getValue(String)
- Enumeration<String> getAttributeNames()
- String[] getValueNames()
- void setAttribute(String, Object)
- void putValue(String , Object)
- void removeAttribute(String)
- void removeValue(String)
- void invalidate()
- boolean isNew()
Issue: SPR-7659
Prior to this commit it was possible for the method and requestURI
fields in MockHttpServletRequest to be set to null.
This commit ensures that the method and requestURI fields are internally
stored as empty strings if the user sets them to a null value.
Issue: SPR-10643
Prior to this commit, MockHttpServletRequest.getRequestURL() always
included the server port number in the reconstructed request URL, even
for implicit ports (i.e., 80 and 443) and negative ports.
MockHttpServletRequest.getRequestURL() now omits the port number when
reconstructing a URL that has an implicit or negative port.
Issue: SPR-9726
This commit introduces a deleteFromTableWhere() convenience method in
AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests and
AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests that delegates to the
recently introduced method of the same name in JdbcTestUtils.
Issue: SPR-10639
Change ContextHierarchyDirtiesContextTests to obtain beans whilst the
ApplicationContext is still open, rather than trying to obtain them
after the context has been closed.
This commit removes the use of @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") for
code in the spring-test module that no longer references deprecated code.
Issue: SPR-10499
This commit deletes the deprecated SimpleJdbcTestUtils class as well as
remaining usage of SimpleJdbcTemplate within the TestContext framework
and its test suite.
Issue: SPR-10499
This commit deletes the deprecated @ExpectedException and
@NotTransactional annotations, supporting code, and related Javadoc and
reference documentation.
Issue: SPR-10499
This commit removes the suppression of warnings in Servlet and Portlet
mocks since such suppression is no longer necessary with the upgrade to
version 3.0 of the Servlet specification.
