Cucumber Test a Spring Boot Application
Further to @jakehschwartz, if you want the web app to start on a random available port, AbstractSpringTest needs:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = Application.class, loader = SpringApplicationContextLoader.class)
@WebIntegrationTest({"server.port=0"})
public abstract class AbstractSpringTest {
@Value("${local.server.port}")
protected int serverPort;
...}
I have solved the issue with some help from this question.
Here is the repository with the answer: https://github.com/jakehschwartz/spring-boot-cucumber-example
In short, the AbstractSpringTest
class needs to have the following annotations:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = DemoApplication.class, loader = SpringApplicationContextLoader.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@IntegrationTest
I had a similar symptom, my cucumber wouldn't start up the Spring context...
Turns out I had missed (one of) the following dependencies:
build.gradle
testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-junit:1.2.4"
testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-java:1.2.4"
testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-spring:1.2.4"
StepDefs.java
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(
loader = SpringApplicationContextLoader.class,
classes = Application.class
)
@WebIntegrationTest(randomPort = true)
public class StepDefs {
@Value("${local.server.port}")
int port;
}
Update: SpringBoot 1.5.1
@ContextConfiguration(
loader = SpringBootContextLoader.class,
classes = Application.class
)
