Unit testing with SpringJUnit4ClassRunner using only @Component and @Autowired


I have the following class:

@Component
public class MyClass {
    @Autowired MyPojo pojo;
}

How do i test it without mocking the injected beans? I do not have a configuration [XML or declarative]. I have done the following:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ComponentScan
public class MyClassTest {
    @Autowired MyClass myClass;

    @Test
    public void test() {
        this.myClass...()
    }
}

Solution

  • If you do not want use any type of configuration, neither Java nor XML config, you can use @ContextConfiguration with your component classes listed:

    @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
    @ContextConfiguration(classes = { MyPojo.class, MyClass.class })
    public class MyClassTest {
    
        @Autowired 
        private MyClass myClass;
    
        @Test
        public void test() {
            // myClass...
        }
    }
    

    Please note that MyPojo class should also be annotated with @Component.

    However, in the real life scenario you probably will need at least one @Configuration class (which can be also used with @ContextConfiguration).

    Please refer Spring Documentation for more information about Spring integration tests support.
