I want to send a post request in my test using the format:
RequestSpecification requestSpecification = RestAssured.given()
.contentType(ContentType.JSON)
.body(taskDetailsFormSubmission);
actor.attemptsTo(
Post.to(path).with(requestSpecification)
);
I am creating a RequestSpecification and parsing a JSON file in one of my directories.
The problem however is that with() only accepts the type RestQueryFunction. Looking at the interface:
public interface RestQueryFunction extends Function<RequestSpecification,RequestSpecification> {}
I'm just not really sure how to apply the RequestSpecification to the POST request.
Function<RequestSpecification,RequestSpecification> is a case of Function<T,R> java functional interface.
The method with() requires RestQueryFunction means you have to provide an implementation of RestQueryFunction which might be a class, anonymous class or lambda expression. It follows the rule:
Parameter is RequestSpecification.
Return type is RequestSpecification.
You could try
actor.attemptsTo(
Post.to(path).with(r -> r.contentType(ContentType.JSON)
.body(taskDetailsFormSubmission);
)
);

In a quarkus/kotlin app, I have a rest client that is very basic:
#Path("/my/api/v1")
#RestClient
interface MyApiClient { }
Problem is, when a request fails, it returns a response that fails to be mapped. So I want to add an exception mapper, in order to log the real error:
class MyExceptionMapper : ResponseExceptionMapper<java.lang.RuntimeException?> {
override fun toThrowable(r: Response): java.lang.RuntimeException {
Logger.getLogger(MyApiClient::class.java).error(r.status)
return RuntimeException("failed")
}
}
To do so, I should annoate my client with:
#RegisterProvider(MyExceptionMapper::class.java)
Doing so, I have a kotlin error:
An annotation argument must be a compile-time constant
I googled but could find solutions only for strings. In this case, kotlin expects the java class to be a compile time constant. How to get it?
Should work with simple:
#RegisterProvider(MyExceptionMapper::class)
Trying to figure out how to pass some parameters to my custom implementation of TestWatcher in Junit5. The base class for all tests is set to #ExtendWith with the TestWatcher. Trying to keep it as simple as possible and I can't seem to find a straightforward answer on how to do this
I was struggling on a similar problem, basically I needed a global parameter (a separator string data) for the annotation #DisplayNameGenerator().
Because the lack of code examples of how you're trying to resolve this I'm gonna explain my approach of how to get a parameter provided by the user and see if it works for you,
I created a interface with the return of the String value that is my custom parameter that I wanted to get from the user,
#Target(ElementType.TYPE)
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Inherited
#API(status = EXPERIMENTAL, since = "5.4")
public #interface IndicativeSentencesSeparator {
String value();
}
So this way I could create my test with this new interface, and passing the parameter but also making it optional to use, like this,
#DisplayName("My Test")
#DisplayNameGeneration(DisplayNameGenerator.IndicativeSentencesGenerator.class)
#IndicativeSentencesSeparator(" --> ")
class MyTestClass { //Some test methods and stuff }
To get the this new class in the implementation, I used the java method class.getAnnotation(classType) in the class that you're trying to extract the value, sending by parameter the class to find, in this case the interface I created.
IndicativeSentencesSeparator separator =
myTestClass.getAnnotation(IndicativeSentencesSeparator.class);
And finally to get the parameter used the getter value,
String parameter = separator.value();
How can I pass an annotion instance to a function?
I would like to call the java method AbstractCDI.select(Class<T> type, Annotation... qualifiers). But I don't know how to pass an annotation instance to this method.
Calling the constructor like
cdiInstance.select(MyClass::javaClass, MyAnnotation())
is not allowed and the #Annotation-Syntax cdiInstance.select(MyClass::javaClass, #MyAnnotation) is not allowed as parameter, too. How can I archive this?
When working with CDI you usually also have AnnotationLiteral available or at least you can implement something similar rather easy.
If you want to select a class using your annotation the following should do the trick:
cdiInstance.select(MyClass::class.java, object : AnnotationLiteral<MyAnnotation>() {})
Or you may need to implement your specific AnnotationLiteral-class if you require a specific value. In Java that would work as follows:
class MyAnnotationLiteral extends AnnotationLiteral<MyAnnotation> implements MyAnnotation {
private String value;
public MyAnnotationLiteral(String value) {
this.value = value;
}
#Override
public String[] value() {
return new String[] { value };
}
}
In Kotlin however, you can't implement the annotation and extend AnnotationLiteral or maybe I just did not see how (see also related question: Implement (/inherit/~extend) annotation in Kotlin).
If you rather want to continue using reflection to access the annotation then you should probably rather use the Kotlin reflection way instead:
ClassWithAnno::class.annotations
ClassWithAnno::methodWithAnno.annotations
Calling filter, etc. to get the Annotation you desire or if you know there is only one Annotation there, you can also just call the following (findAnnotation is an extension function on KAnnotatedElement):
ClassWithAnno::class.findAnnotation<MyAnnotation>()
ClassWithAnno::methodWithAnno.findAnnotation<MyAnnotation>()
One could annotate a method or field with the annotation an get it per Reflection:
this.javaClass.getMethod("annotatedMethod").getAnnotation(MyAnnotation::class.java)
Or According to Roland's suggestion the kotlin version of the above:
MyClass::annotatedMethod.findAnnotation<MyAnnotation>()!!
As suggested by Roland for CDI it is better to use AnnotationLiteral (see his post).
If I am modeling my value objects using Kotlin data classes what is the best way to handle validation. Seems like the init block is the only logical place since it executes after the primary constructor.
data class EmailAddress(val address: String) {
init {
if (address.isEmpty() || !address.matches(Regex("^[a-zA-Z0-9]+#[a-zA-Z0-9]+(.[a-zA-Z]{2,})$"))) {
throw IllegalArgumentException("${address} is not a valid email address")
}
}
}
Using JSR-303 Example
The downside to this is it requires load time weaving
#Configurable
data class EmailAddress(#Email val address: String) {
#Autowired
lateinit var validator: Validator
init {
validator.validate(this)
}
}
It seems unreasonable to me to have object creation validation anywhere else but in the class constructor. This is the place responsible for the creation, so that is the place where the rules which define what is and isn't a valid instance should be. From a maintenance perspective it also makes sense to me as it would be the place where I would look for such rules if I had to guess.
I did make a comment, but I thought I would share my approach to validation instead.
First, I think it is a mistake to perform validation on instantiation. This will make the boundary between deserialization and handing over to your controllers messy. Also, to me, if you are sticking to a clean architecture, validation is part of your core logic, and you should ensure with tests on your core logic that it is happening.
So, to let me tackle this how I wish, I first define my own core validation api. Pure kotlin. No frameworks or libraries. Keep it clean.
interface Validatable {
/**
* #throws [ValidationErrorException]
*/
fun validate()
}
class ValidationErrorException(
val errors: List<ValidationError>
) : Exception() {
/***
* Convenience method for getting a data object from the Exception.
*/
fun toValidationErrors() = ValidationErrors(errors)
}
/**
* Data object to represent the data of an Exception. Convenient for serialization.
*/
data class ValidationErrors(
val errors : List<ValidationError>
)
data class ValidationError(
val path: String,
val message: String
)
Then I have a framework specific implementations. For example a javax.validation.Validation implementation:
open class ValidatableJavax : Validatable {
companion object {
val validator = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().validator!!
}
override fun validate() {
val violations = validator.validate(this)
val errors = violations.map {
ValidationError(it.propertyPath.toString(), it.message)
}.toMutableList()
if (errors.isNotEmpty()) {
throw ValidationErrorException(errors = errors)
}
}
}
The only problem with this, is that the javax annotations don't play so well with kotlin data objects - but here is an example of a class with validation:
import javax.validation.constraints.Positive
class MyObject(
myNumber: BigDecimal
) : ValidatableJavax() {
#get:Positive(message = "Must be positive")
val myNumber: BigDecimal = myNumber
}
Actually, it looks like that validation is not a responsibility of data classes. data tells for itself — it's used for data storage.
So if you would like to validate data class, it will make perfect sense to set #get: validation on arguments of the constructor and validate outside of data class in class, responsible for construction.
Your second option is not to use data class, just use simple class and implement whole logic in the constructor passing validator there
Also, if you use Spring Framework — you can make this class Bean with prototype scope, but chances are it will be absolutely uncomfortable to work with such kind of spaghetti-code :)
I disagree with your following statement :
Seems like the init block is the only logical place since it executes after the primary constructor.
Validation should not be done at construction time, because sometimes, you need to have intermediate steps before getting a valid object, and it does not work well with Spring MVC for example.
Maybe use a specific interface (like suggested in previous answer) with a method dedicated to executing validation.
For the validation framework, I personnaly use valiktor, as I found it a lot less cumbersome that JSR-303
I have a problem while using jmockit for the following scenario. Did a research on the web, but couldn't locate the answers yet.
In the record phase, I am setting the expectation on an object that is partially mocked. While doing it, I would like to mock a private method with single parameter. But i don't really concerned with that parameter value. I want to match all invocation of that particular private method with any instance of argument passed to it. How do I do it in Jmockit. Is there a way?
new Expectations(student) {
{
Deencapsulation.invoke(student, "setDepartment", (Department) any);
result = new Delegate<Student>() {
public void setDepartment(Department dept) {
System.out.println("Mocked setDepartment() methodd.....");
}
};
}
};
In the above code, (Department) any can not be passed, since Deencapsulation.invoke(...) method doesn't accept null value.
Note the API documentation for the any field says:
"In invocations to non-accessible methods or constructors (for example, with Deencapsulation.invoke(Object, String, Object...)), use withAny(T) instead."
That is, you need to use withAny(Department.class) with the invoke(...) call.
As of JMockit v1.49, I use:
withInstanceOf(Department.class)
It works as expected.
