The change removes the use of concrete Matcher implementations and thus
the dependency on hamcrest-lib leaving hamcrest-core as the only
(optional) hamcrest dependency.
Issue: SPR-9961
1) removed the hamcrest-all dependency requirement and replaced it with
the more focused hamcrest-library dependency
2) added MatcherAssertionErrors as a replacement of
org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert, which in hamcrest 1.1 is only available
through the hamcrest-all dependency (and not in hamcrest-core nor in
the hamcrest embedded in JUnit 4.4 through 4.8)
3) changed the required hamcrest version from 1.1 to 1.3 and made sure
the spring-test-mvc project does not rely on newer hamcrest
functionality without checking if it is available first
Applications that already depend on older versions of hamcrest
(in particular 1.1) via hamcrest-library, hamcrest-all or as part of
junit 4.4 through 4.8 should not be disrupted if they add spring-test
but may wish to exclude the hamcrest-library transitive dependency
from spring-test in order to avoid extra jars in the classpath
Applications that depend on hamcrest 1.3 should not have to do anything
Issue: SPR-9940
Code introduced in conjunction with SPR-5243 introduced package cycles
between the ~.test.context and ~.test.context.web packages. This was
caused by the fact that ContextLoaderUtils worked directly with the
@WebAppConfiguration and WebMergedContextConfiguration types.
To address this, the following methods have been introduced in
ContextLoaderUtils. These methods use reflection to circumvent hard
dependencies on the @WebAppConfiguration and
WebMergedContextConfiguration types.
- loadWebAppConfigurationClass()
- buildWebMergedContextConfiguration()
Issue: SPR-9924
Prior to this commit, the following two methods in ContextLoaderUtils
contained almost identical loops for traversing the test class
hierarchy:
- resolveContextLoaderClass(Class<?>, String)
- resolveContextConfigurationAttributes(Class<?>)
With this commit, resolveContextLoaderClass() no longer traverses the
class hierarchy. Instead, it now works directly with the resolved list
of ContextConfigurationAttributes, thereby removing code duplication.
Issue: SPR-9918
Code introduced in conjunction with SPR-5243 introduced package cycles
between the ~.test.context.web and ~.test.context.support packages. This
was caused by the fact that ServletTestExecutionListener extended
AbstractTestExecutionListener.
To address this, ServletTestExecutionListener now implements
TestExecutionListener directly.
Issue: SPR-9924
Prior to this commit the MockHttpServletRequest constructor chain set
the preferred local to Locale.ENGLISH. Furthermore, it was possible to
add additional preferred locales "in front" of ENGLISH; however, it was
not possible to delete ENGLISH from the list of preferred locales.
This commit documents the fact that ENGLISH is the default preferred
locale and makes it possible to set the list of preferred locales via a
new setPreferredLocales(List<Locale> locales) method.
Issue: SPR-9724
Prior to this commit, utility methods in JdbcTestUtils interpreted SQL
comments as separate statements, resulting in an exception when such a
script is executed.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a
readScript(lineNumberReader, String) method that accepts a comment
prefix. Comment lines are therefore no longer returned in the parsed
script. Furthermore, the existing readScript(lineNumberReader) method
now delegates to this new readScript() method, supplying "--" as the
default comment prefix.
Issue: SPR-9593
SpringRunnerContextCacheTests suffers from JDK7-related non-determinism
in values returned from Class#getDeclaredMethods(), which in turn
affects JUnit and its execution of @Test methods.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing an
OrderedMethodsSpringJUnit4ClassRunner that sorts the test methods
alphabetically, which is actually required for
SpringRunnerContextCacheTests to work properly.
Issue: SPR-9789
This commit introduces RequestAndSessionScopedBeansWacTests which
verifies support for request and session scoped beans in the Spring
TestContext Framework (TCF).
This support was actually introduced as an intentional side effect of
the work performed for SPR-5243 through the addition of the new
WebTestExecutionListener.
Issue: SPR-4588
Prior to this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework only supported
loading an ApplicationContext in integration tests from either XML or
Java Properties files (since Spring 2.5), and Spring 3.1 introduced
support for loading an ApplicationContext in integration tests from
annotated classes (e.g., @Configuration classes). All of the
ContextLoader implementations used to provide this support load a
GenericApplicationContext. However, a GenericApplicationContext is not
suitable for testing a web application since a web application relies on
an implementation of WebApplicationContext (WAC).
This commit makes it possible to integration test Spring-powered web
applications by adding the following functionality to the Spring
TestContext Framework.
- Introduced AbstractGenericWebContextLoader and two concrete
subclasses:
- XmlWebContextLoader
- AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader
- Pulled up prepareContext(context, mergedConfig) from
AbstractGenericContextLoader into AbstractContextLoader to allow it
to be shared across web and non-web context loaders.
- Introduced AnnotationConfigContextLoaderUtils and refactored
AnnotationConfigContextLoader accordingly. These utils are also used
by AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader.
- Introduced a new @WebAppConfiguration annotation to denote that the
ApplicationContext loaded for a test should be a WAC and to configure
the base resource path for the root directory of a web application.
- Introduced WebMergedContextConfiguration which extends
MergedContextConfiguration with support for a baseResourcePath for
the root directory of a web application.
- ContextLoaderUtils.buildMergedContextConfiguration() now builds a
WebMergedContextConfiguration instead of a standard
MergedContextConfiguration if @WebAppConfiguration is present on the
test class.
- Introduced a configureWebResources() method in
AbstractGenericWebContextLoader that is responsible for creating a
MockServletContext with a proper ResourceLoader for the
resourceBasePath configured in the WebMergedContextConfiguration. The
resulting mock ServletContext is set in the WAC, and the WAC is
stored as the Root WAC in the ServletContext.
- Introduced a WebTestExecutionListener that sets up default thread
local state via RequestContextHolder before each test method by using
the MockServletContext already present in the WAC and by creating a
MockHttpServletRequest, MockHttpServletResponse, and
ServletWebRequest that is set in the RequestContextHolder. WTEL also
ensures that the MockHttpServletResponse and ServletWebRequest can be
injected into the test instance (e.g., via @Autowired) and cleans up
thread locals after each test method.
- WebTestExecutionListener is configured as a default
TestExecutionListener before DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener
- Extracted AbstractDelegatingSmartContextLoader from
DelegatingSmartContextLoader and introduced a new
WebDelegatingSmartContextLoader.
- ContextLoaderUtils now selects the default delegating ContextLoader
class name based on the presence of @WebAppConfiguration on the test
class.
- Tests in the spring-test-mvc module no longer use a custom
ContextLoader to load a WebApplicationContext. Instead, they now
rely on new core functionality provided in this commit.
Issue: SPR-5243
Class#getDeclaredMembers returns arbitrary results under JDK7. This
results in non-deterministic execution of JUnit test methods, often
revealing unintended dependencies between methods that rely on a
specific order to succeed.
JUnit 4.11 contains support for predictable test ordering [1], but at
the time of this commit, JUnit 4.11 has not yet been released.
Therefore we are testing against a snapshot version [2], which has been
uploaded to repo.springsource.org [3] for easy access. Note that this
artifact may be removed when JUnit 4.11 goes GA.
- Care has been taken to ensure that spring-test's compile-time
dependency on JUnit remains at 4.10. This means that the spring-test
pom.xml will continue to have an optional <dependency> on JUnit
4.10, instead of the 4.11 snapshot.
- For reasons not fully understood, the upgrade to the 4.11 snapshot
of junit-dep caused NoSuchMethodErrors around certain Hamcrest
types, particularly CoreMatchers and Matchers. import statements
have been updated accordingly throughout affected test cases.
- Runtime errors also occurred around uses of JUnit @Rule and
ExpectedException. These have been reverted to use simpler
mechanisms like @Test(expected) in the meantime.
- Some test methods with order-based dependencies on one another have
been renamed in order to fall in line with JUnit 4.11's new method
ordering (as opposed to actually fixing the inter-test
dependencies). In other areas, the fix was as simple as adding a
tearDown method and cleaning up state.
- For no apparent reason, the timeout in AspectJAutoProxyCreatorTests'
testAspectsAndAdvisorNotAppliedToPrototypeIsFastEnough method begins
to be exceeded. Prior to this commit the timeout value was 3000 ms;
on the CI server under Linux/JDK6 and JDK7, the test begins taking
anywhere from 3500-5500 ms with this commit. It is presumed that
this is an incidental artifact of the upgrade to JUnit 4.11. In any
case, there are no changes to src/main in this commit, so this
should not actually represent a performance risk for Spring
Framework users. The timeout has been increased to 6000 ms to
accommodate this situation.

Issue: SPR-9783
- Allow reset of GlobalAdvisorAdapterRegistry
Provide a reset() method allowing the GlobalAdvisorAdapterRegistry
instance to be replaced with a fresh instance. This method has
primarily been added to allow unit tests to leave the registry
in a known state.
- Protect against the fact that calls to configuration class methods
my occur in a random order.
Issue: SPR-9779
Starting with Spring 3.1 applications can specify
contextInitializerClasses via context-param and init-param in web.xml;
however, there is currently no way to have such initializers invoked in
integration testing scenarios without writing a custom
SmartContextLoader. For comprehensive integration testing it should
therefore be possible to re-use ApplicationContextInitializers in the
Spring TestContext Framework as well.
This commit makes this possible at the @ContextConfiguration level by
allowing an array of ACI types to be specified, and the out-of-the-box
SmartContextLoader implementations invoke the declared initializers at
the appropriate time.
- Added initializers and inheritInitializers attributes to
@ContextConfiguration.
- Introduced support for ApplicationContextInitializers in
ContextConfigurationAttributes, MergedContextConfiguration, and
ContextLoaderUtils.
- MergedContextConfiguration stores context initializer classes as a
Set and incorporates them into the implementations of hashCode() and
equals() for proper context caching.
- ApplicationContextInitializers are invoked in the new
prepareContext(GenericApplicationContext, MergedContextConfiguration)
method in AbstractGenericContextLoader, and ordering declared via the
Ordered interface and @Order annotation is honored.
- Updated DelegatingSmartContextLoader to support initializers.
Specifically, a test class may optionally declare neither XML
configuration files nor annotated classes and instead declare only
application context initializers. In such cases, an attempt will
still be made to detect defaults, but their absence will not result
an an exception.
- Documented support for application context initializers in Javadoc
and in the testing chapter of the reference manual.
Issue: SPR-9011
The invalidate() method in MockHttpSession is currently implemented
incorrectly. According to the Servlet specification, the method should
throw an IllegalStateException if it is invoked on an already
invalidated session. However, invoking invalidate() on the same
MockHttpSession instance multiple times does not throw an exception.
This commits addresses this issue by checking the invalid field and
throwing an IllegalStateException if it has already been set to true.
Issue: SPR-9686
ReflectionTestUtils.setField() implicitly calls toString() on the target
object when arguments for a call to Assert.notNull() are built. This can
have undesirable side effects, for example if the toString() invocation
results in a thrown exception or access to an external system (e.g., a
database).
This commit addresses this issue by inlining the Assert.notNull() code,
thereby avoiding accidental invocation of toString() on a non-null
target.
Issue: SPR-9571
The default set of TestExecutionListeners is sufficient in most
integration testing scenarios; however, the TestContextManager
nonetheless logs an INFO message if the @TestExecutionListeners
annotation is not present on an integration test class.
In order to avoid flooding the logs with messages about the absence of
@TestExecutionListeners, this commit reduces the log level for such
messages from INFO to DEBUG.
Issue: SPR-8645
Recently new utility methods were added to JdbcTestUtils, and a
JdbcTemplate was introduced in abstract transactional base classes in
the TestContext framework. This presents an easy opportunity to make
these new utility methods available as convenience methods in the base
test classes.
This commit introduces new countRowsInTableWhere() and dropTables()
convenience methods in the abstract transactional base classes in the
TestContext framework. These new methods internally delegate to methods
of the same names in JdbcTestUtils.
Issue: SPR-9665
Since Spring 2.5, the abstract transactional base classes in the
TestContext framework have defined and delegated to a protected
SimpleJdbcTemplate instance variable; however, SimpleJdbcTemplate has
deprecated since Spring 3.1. Consequently, subclasses of
AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests and
AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests that use this instance
variable suffer from seemingly unnecessary deprecation warnings.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a protected JdbcTemplate
instance variable in abstract transactional base classes to replace the
use of the existing SimpleJdbcTemplate. Furthermore, the existing
simpleJdbcTemplate instance variable has been deprecated, and utility
methods in the affected base classes now delegate to JdbcTestUtils
instead of the now deprecated SimpleJdbcTestUtils.
Issue: SPR-8990
Several static utility methods in SimpleJdbcTestUtils accept an instance
of SimpleJdbcTemplate as an argument; however, SimpleJdbcTemplate has
been deprecated since Spring 3.1 in favor of simply using JdbcTemplate
which now also supports Java 5 language constructs such as var-args.
Consequently, use of such methods from SimpleJdbcTestUtils results in
deprecation warnings without an equivalent API to migrate to.
This commit addresses this issue by migrating all existing methods in
SimpleJdbcTestUtils to JdbcTestUtils. The migrated methods now accept an
instance of JdbcTemplate as an argument, thereby avoiding the
deprecation warnings but maintaining semantic compatibility with the
functionality previous available in SimpleJdbcTestUtils.
In addition, this commit also introduces two new methods:
- countRowsInTableWhere(): counts the rows in a given table, using
a provided `WHERE` clause
- dropTables(): drops the tables with the specified names
Issue: SPR-9235
For legacy reasons, a MockEnvironment implementation already exists in multiple places within Spring's test suite; however, it is not available to the general public.
This commit promotes MockEnvironment to a first-class citizen in the spring-test module, alongside the existing MockPropertySource.
In addition, the following house cleaning has been performed.
- deleted MockPropertySource from the spring-expression module
- deleted MockEnvironment from the "spring" integration testing module
- updated test copies of MockPropertySource and MockEnvironment
- documented MockEnvironment and MockPropertySource in the testing
chapter of the reference manual
Issue: SPR-9492
Currently the Spring TestContext Framework looks up a
PlatformTransactionManager bean named "transactionManager". The exact
name of the bean can be overridden via @TransactionConfiguration or
@Transactional; however, the bean will always be looked up 'by name'.
The TransactionManagementConfigurer interface that was introduced in
Spring 3.1 provides a programmatic approach to specifying the
PlatformTransactionManager bean to be used for annotation-driven
transaction management, and that bean is not required to be named
"transactionManager". However, as of Spring 3.1.2, using the
TransactionManagementConfigurer on a @Configuration class has no effect
on how the TestContext framework looks up the transaction manager.
Consequently, if an explicit name or qualifier has not been specified,
the bean must be named "transactionManager" in order for a transactional
integration test to work.
This commit addresses this issue by refactoring the
TransactionalTestExecutionListener so that it looks up and delegates to
a single TransactionManagementConfigurer as part of the algorithm for
determining the transaction manager.
Issue: SPR-9604
TransactionalTestExecutionListener currently requires that the
PlatformTransactionManager bean be named "transactionManager" by
default. Otherwise, the bean name can only be overridden via the
transactionManager attribute of @TransactionConfiguration or the value
attribute of @Transactional.
However, if there is only a single PlatformTransactionManager in the
test's ApplicationContext, then the requirement to specify the exact
name of that bean (or to name it exactly "transactionManager") is often
superfluous.
This commit addresses this issue by refactoring the
TransactionalTestExecutionListener so that it is comparable to the
algorithm for determining the transaction manager used in
TransactionAspectSupport for "production" code. Specifically, the TTEL
now uses the following algorithm to retrieve the transaction manager.
- look up by type and qualifier from @Transactional
- else, look up by type and explicit name from
@TransactionConfiguration
- else, look up single bean by type
- else, look up by type and default name from @TransactionConfiguration
Issue: SPR-9645
Currently the getNamedDispatcher(String) method of MockServletContext
always returns null. This poses a problem in certain testing scenarios
since one would always expect at least a default Servlet to be present.
This is specifically important for web application tests that involve
the DefaultServletHttpRequestHandler which attempts to forward to the
default Servlet after retrieving it by name. Furthermore, there is no
way to register a named RequestDispatcher with the MockServletContext.
This commit addresses these issues by introducing the following in
MockServletContext.
- a new defaultServletName property for configuring the name of the
default Servlet, which defaults to "default"
- named RequestDispatchers can be registered and unregistered
- a MockRequestDispatcher is registered for the "default" Servlet
automatically in the constructor
- when the defaultServletName property is set to a new value the
the current default RequestDispatcher is unregistered and replaced
with a MockRequestDispatcher for the new defaultServletName
Issue: SPR-9587
Previously MockHttpServletRequest#sendRedirect did not set the HTTP status
or the Location header. This does not conform to the HttpServletRequest
interface.
MockHttpServletRequest will now:
- Set the HTTP status to 302 on sendRedirect
- Set the Location header on sendRedirect
- Ensure the Location header and getRedirectedUrl are kept in synch
Issue: SPR-9594
This commit introduces a test suite (Spr8849Tests) that demonstrates
the claims made in SPR-8849.
Specifically, if <jdbc:embedded-database id="xyz" /> is used to create
an embedded HSQL database in an XML configuration file and that
configuration file is imported in different sets of configuration files
that are used to load ApplicationContexts for different integration
tests, the embedded database will be initialized multiple times using
any nested <jdbc:script /> elements. If such a script is used to create
a table, for example, subsequent attempts to initialize the database
named "xyz" will fail since an embedded database named "xyz" already
exists in the JVM.
As a work-around, this test suite uses a SpEL expression to generate a
random string for each embedded database instance:
id="#{T(java.util.UUID).randomUUID().toString()}"
See the Javadoc in Spr8849Tests for further information.
Issue: SPR-8849
Commit 096693c46f refactored and
deprecated TransactionAspectUtils, moving its #qualifiedBeanOfType
and related methods into BeanFactoryUtils. This created a package cycle
between beans.factory and beans.factory.annotation due to use of the
beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier annotation in these methods.
This commit breaks the package cycle by introducing
beans.factory.annotation.BeanFactoryAnnotationUtils and moving these
@Qualifier-related methods to it. It is intentionally similar in name
and style to the familiar BeanFactoryUtils class for purposes of
discoverability.
There are no backward-compatibilty concerns associated with this change
as the cycle was introduced, caught and now fixed before a release.
Issue: SPR-6847
TransactionAspectUtils contains a number of methods useful in
retrieving a bean by type+qualifier. These methods are functionally
general-purpose save for the hard coding of PlatformTransactionManager
class literals throughout.
This commit generifies these methods and moves them into
BeanFactoryUtils primarily in anticipation of their use by async method
execution interceptors and aspects when performing lookups for qualified
executor beans e.g. via @Async("qualifier").
The public API of TransactionAspectUtils remains backward compatible;
all methods within have been deprecated, and all calls to those methods
throughout the framework refactored to use the new BeanFactoryUtils
variants instead.
The reference manual previously did not mention the applicability of
JSR-250 lifecycle annotations within the TestContext framework. The
lacking documentation here has lead to misunderstandings of the support
provided for @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy in test classes.
The testing chapter of the reference manual has therefore been updated
to explicitly define the limited support for these annotations.
Also introduced Jsr250LifecycleTests for empirical verification of the
expected behavior.
Issue: SPR-4868
Introduced AtBeanLiteModeScopeTests integration tests to verify proper
scoping of beans created in 'lite' mode.
Updated comments in TACCWithoutACTests to better reflect the runtime
behavior for 'lite' @Bean methods.
Issue: SPR-9401
Updated all Javadoc in the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) to explain
and refer to 'annotated classes' instead of 'configuration classes'.
Specifically, @ContextConfiguration now explicitly defines what is meant
by 'annotated classes', and various other classes now refer to this
definition. Otherwise, the term 'configuration class' has simply been
replaced with 'annotated class'.
Also deleted cross references to deprecated JUnit 3.8 classes and
formatted Javadoc in general for greater readability.
Issue: SPR-9401
AbstractTransactionalAnnotatedConfigClassTests is now annotated with
@DirtiesContext(classMode = ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD) so
that side-effects between tests are avoided.
Re-enabled TransactionalAnnotatedConfigClassWithAtConfigurationTests
and TransactionalAnnotatedConfigClassesWithoutAtConfigurationTests.
Also introduced a log4j FileAppender for tests that writes to
"build/spring-test.log".
