Integration Test with Spring Boot and Spock

Question

What is the best way to run an integration test (e.g., @IntegrationTest) with Spock? I would like to bootstrap the whole Spring Boot application and execute some HTTP calls

Answer 1

Here is a setup which starts up boot applicaiton and then runs spock tests:

class HelloControllerSpec extends Specification {

@Shared
@AutoCleanup
ConfigurableApplicationContext context

void setupSpec() {
    Future future = Executors
            .newSingleThreadExecutor().submit(
            new Callable() {
                @Override
                public ConfigurableApplicationContext call() throws Exception {
                    return (ConfigurableApplicationContext) SpringApplication
                            .run(Application.class)
                }
            })
    context = future.get(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
}

void "should return pong from /ping"() {
    when:
    ResponseEntity entity = new RestTemplate().getForEntity("http://localhost:8080/ping", String.class)

    then:
    entity.statusCode == HttpStatus.OK
    entity.body == 'pong'
}
}

And remember to add dependencies to spock and groovy inside build.gradle

dependencies {
    // other dependencies
    testCompile "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.2.0"
    testCompile "org.spockframework:spock-core:0.7-groovy-2.0"
}
