I would like to share constants from Java classes in groovy Contracts.
Test base class:
@SpringBootTest(classes = TestBase.class, webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class TestBase {
public static final String NAME = "just constant";
@Before
public void setup() {
RestAssured.baseURI = "https://rest-service.com";
RestAssured.port = 443;
}
}
Contract file:
package contracts.test_contract
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract
import static test.TestBase.NAME;
Contract.make {
request {
method 'GET'
url ''
body (
"""${value(client(NAME), server(NAME))}"""
)
}
response {
status 200
}
}
pom.xml - spring cloud contract plugin config:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<testMode>EXPLICIT</testMode>
<baseClassForTests>test.TestBase</baseClassForTests>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Running mvn clean install and getting
[ERROR] Exception occurred while trying to evaluate the contract at path [C:\dev\_idea_workspace\test_1\src\test\resources\contracts\test_contract\c1.groovy]
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:

@ line 7, column 1.
import static test.TestBase.NAME;

1 error
But when I try to import statically constant from another file, like Long.MAX_VALUE, it works.
Any suggestions how to go over this or how to share variable in more groovy contract files? Thanks!
Yes, please read this section of the documentation - https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-contract/docs/current/reference/html/advanced.html#customization-customization . Here you can see the code with shared stuff - https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/tree/main/common . Here you can see how it's added on the producer side https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/blob/main/producer/pom.xml#L106-L111 and here on the consumer https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/blob/main/consumer/pom.xml#L63-L68
