Metadata

This task is complementary to the lectures and lists tasks and information for the in-lesson tasks.

Prerequisites

Open your spring-starer, which already has tests and an empty endpoint.

In case you did not do that, use this.

Add dependency

Do as the official guide states to add the dependency.

Write an integration test

public class EmptyControllerTestIT {
  @Test
  @DisplayName("/empty/ returns 200")
  public void empty_returns_200() {
    when().
        get("/empty/").
        then().
        statusCode(200)
    );
  }
}

Run the test

Start the server, then run the test.

danger

The test will fail if the server is not running! We write an integration test.

Combining with bites/docker-compose

Run your application with docker-compose up and run your tests again!

Hint: Now you do not need to run the backend yourself in IntelliJ, docker-compose up starts it!
