Unit testing for REST with Client and invokation












1















I would like to write unit tests for my endpoints when the endpoint is calling another application.
So far I could test if the Invocation has correct URI or method type, but I would like mock the response.



public Response getFormById(Integer formId) {
Invocation invocation = prepareRequestForGettingForm(formId);
Response response = invocation.invoke();
return response;
}

public Invocation prepareRequestForGettingForm(Integer formId) {
return ClientBuilder
.newClient()
.register(authenticator)
.target("localhost:8080" + "/form" + formId)
.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.build("get");
}


TEST:



  @Test
public void request_getFormById_shouldContainsProperEndpointAddress() {
String expectedUri = expectedUriBase + formId;
Invocation invocation = mock.prepareRequestForGettingForm(formId);
String uri = ((ClientInvocation) invocation).getUri().toString();
assertEquals(uri, expectedUri);
when(invocation.invoke()).thenReturn(Response.ok().build());
Response response = formServiceBean.getFormById(formId);
assertEquals(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(), response.getStatus());
}


When I try to mock the invocation.invoke then I have error:



javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: RESTEASY004655: Unable to invoke request

at org.jboss.resteasy.client.jaxrs.engines.ApacheHttpClient4Engine.invoke(ApacheHttpClient4Engine.java:317)


So can Anybody tell me how to mock it?



Is there any chance also to use Rest-Assure but do it smartly to have later on Code Coverage?

  • Take a look at wiremock.org which would allow you to "record" REST API calls and responses so that they could be "replayed" at a later time without needing to interact with your backend services.

  • @RobKielty hey, thanks but my concern is to have Code Coverage on this part of code.
