Question

import org.neo4j.driver.v1.*;

Driver driver = Graph         


        

Answer 1

The Neo4j JDBC has a class called Neo4jBoltRule for unit testing. It is a junit rule starting/stopping an impermanent database together with some configuration to start bolt.

The rule class uses dynamic port assignment to prevent test failure due to running multiple tests in parallel (think of your CI infrastructure).

An example of a unit test using that rule class is available at https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-jdbc/blob/master/neo4j-jdbc-bolt/src/test/java/org/neo4j/jdbc/bolt/SampleIT.java
