1. Getting Started

-
-
-

If you are getting started with Spring Cloud Contract, or Spring in general, start by reading -this section. It answers the basic “what?”, “how?” and “why?” questions. It -includes an introduction to Spring Cloud Contract, along with installation instructions. We then -walk you through building your first Spring Cloud Contract application, discussing some core -principles as we go.

-
-
-

1.1. Introducing Spring Cloud Contract

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract moves TDD to the level of software architecture. -It lets you perform consumer-driven and producer-driven contract testing.

-
-
-

1.1.1. History

-
-

Before becoming Spring Cloud Contract, this project was called Accurest. -It was created by Marcin Grzejszczak and Jakub Kubrynski -from (Codearte).

-
-
-

The 0.1.0 release took place on 26 Jan 2015 and it became stable with 1.0.0 release on 29 Feb 2016.

-
-
-
Why Do You Need It?
-
-

Assume that we have a system that consists of multiple microservices, as the following -image shows:

-
-
-
-Microservices Architecture -
-
-
-
-
Testing Issues
-
-

If we want to test the application in the top left corner of the image in the preceding -section to determine whether it can communicate with other services, we could do one of -two things:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Deploy all microservices and perform end-to-end tests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Mock other microservices in unit and integration tests.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Both have their advantages but also a lot of disadvantages.

-
-
-

Deploy all microservices and perform end to end tests

-
-
-

Advantages:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Simulates production.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Tests real communication between services.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Disadvantages:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    To test one microservice, we have to deploy six microservices, a couple of databases, -and other items.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The environment where the tests run is locked for a single suite of tests (nobody else -would be able to run the tests in the meantime).

    -
    • -
  • -

    They take a long time to run.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The feedback comes very late in the process.

    -
    • -
  • -

    They are extremely hard to debug.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Mock other microservices in unit and integration tests

-
-
-

Advantages:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    They provide very fast feedback.

    -
    • -
  • -

    They have no infrastructure requirements.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Disadvantages:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    The implementor of the service creates stubs that might have nothing to do with -reality.

    -
    • -
  • -

    You can go to production with passing tests and failing production.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

To solve the aforementioned issues, Spring Cloud Contract was created. The main idea is to -give you very fast feedback, without the need to set up the -whole world of microservices. If you work on stubs, then the only applications you need -are those that your application directly uses. The following image shows the relationship -of stubs to an application:

-
-
-
-Stubbed Services -
-
-
-

Spring Cloud Contract gives you the certainty that the stubs that you use were -created by the service that you call. Also, if you can use them, it means that they -were tested against the producer’s side. In short, you can trust those stubs.

-
-
-
-
-

1.1.2. Purposes

-
-

The main purposes of Spring Cloud Contract are:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    To ensure that HTTP and Messaging stubs (used when developing the client) do exactly -what the actual server-side implementation does.

    -
    • -
  • -

    To promote the ATDD (acceptance test-driven developement) method and the microservices architectural style.

    -
    • -
  • -

    To provide a way to publish changes in contracts that are immediately visible on both sides.

    -
    • -
  • -

    To generate boilerplate test code to be used on the server side.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

By default, Spring Cloud Contract integrates with Wiremock as the HTTP server stub.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Spring Cloud Contract’s purpose is NOT to start writing business -features in the contracts. Assume that we have a business use case of fraud check. If a -user can be a fraud for 100 different reasons, we would assume that you would create two -contracts, one for the positive case and one for the negative case. Contract tests are -used to test contracts between applications and not to simulate full behavior. -
-
-
-
-

1.1.3. What Is a Contract?

-
-

As consumers of services, we need to define what exactly we want to achieve. We need to -formulate our expectations. That is why we write contracts. In other words, a contract is -an agreement on how the API or message communication should look. Consider the following example:

-
-
-

Assume that you want to send a request that contains the ID of a client company and the -amount it wants to borrow from us. You also want to send it to the /fraudcheck URL via -the PUT method. The following listing shows a contract to check whether a client should -be marked as a fraud in both Groovy and YAML:

1.2. A Three-second Tour

-
-

This very brief tour walks through using Spring Cloud Contract. It consists of the -following topics:

-
-
- -
-
-

You can find a somewhat longer tour -here.

-
-
-

The following UML diagram shows the relationship of the parts within Spring Cloud Contract:

-
-
-
-getting started three second -
-
-
-

1.2.1. On the Producer Side

-
-

To start working with Spring Cloud Contract, you can add files with REST or messaging contracts -expressed in either Groovy DSL or YAML to the contracts directory, which is set by the -contractsDslDir property. By default, it is $rootDir/src/test/resources/contracts.

-
-
-

Then you can add the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier dependency and plugin to your build file, as -the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier</artifactId>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following listing shows how to add the plugin, which should go in the build/plugins -portion of the file:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-

Running ./mvnw clean install automatically generates tests that verify the application -compliance with the added contracts. By default, the tests get generated under -org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.tests..

-
-
-

As the implementation of the functionalities described by the contracts is not yet -present, the tests fail.

-
-
-

To make them pass, you must add the correct implementation of either handling HTTP -requests or messages. Also, you must add a base test class for auto-generated -tests to the project. This class is extended by all the auto-generated tests, and it -should contain all the setup information necessary to run them (for example RestAssuredMockMvc -controller setup or messaging test setup).

-
-
-

The following example, from pom.xml, shows how to specify the base test class:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<build>
-        <plugins>
-            <plugin>
-                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-                <version>2.1.2.RELEASE</version>
-                <extensions>true</extensions>
-                <configuration>
-                    <baseClassForTests>com.example.contractTest.BaseTestClass</baseClassForTests> (1)
-                </configuration>
-            </plugin>
-            <plugin>
-                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
-                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-            </plugin>
-        </plugins>
-    </build>
-
-
-
- - - - - -
1The baseClassForTests element lets you specify your base test class. It must be a child -of a configuration element within spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin.
-
-
-
-
-

Once the implementation and the test base class are in place, the tests pass, and both the -application and the stub artifacts are built and installed in the local Maven repository. -You can now merge the changes, and you can publish both the application and the stub artifacts -in an online repository.

-
-
-
-

1.2.2. On the Consumer Side

-
-

You can use Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner in the integration tests to get a running -WireMock instance or messaging route that simulates the actual service.

-
-
-

To do so, add the dependency to Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner, as the -following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner</artifactId>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can get the Producer-side stubs installed in your Maven repository in either of two -ways:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    By checking out the Producer side repository and adding contracts and generating the stubs -by running the following commands:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    $ cd local-http-server-repo
-$ ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    - - - - - -
    - - -The tests are being skipped because the producer-side contract implementation is not -in place yet, so the automatically-generated contract tests fail. -
    -
    -
    • -
  • -

    By getting already-existing producer service stubs from a remote repository. To do so, -pass the stub artifact IDs and artifact repository URL as Spring Cloud Contract -Stub Runner properties, as the following example shows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    stubrunner:
-  ids: 'com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:8080'
-  repositoryRoot: https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    • -
-
-
-

Now you can annotate your test class with @AutoConfigureStubRunner. In the annotation, -provide the group-id and artifact-id values for Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner to -run the collaborators' stubs for you, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.NONE)
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:6565"},
-        stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.LOCAL)
-public class LoanApplicationServiceTests {
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Use the REMOTE stubsMode when downloading stubs from an online repository and -LOCAL for offline work. -
-
-
-

Now, in your integration test, you can receive stubbed versions of HTTP responses or -messages that are expected to be emitted by the collaborator service.

-
-
-
-
-

1.3. Developing Your First Spring Cloud Contract-based Application

-
-

This brief tour walks through using Spring Cloud Contract. It consists of the following topics:

-
-
- -
-
-

You can find an even more brief tour -here.

-
-
-

For the sake of this example, the Stub Storage is Nexus/Artifactory.

-
-
-

The following UML diagram shows the relationship of the parts of Spring Cloud Contract:

-
-
-
-Getting started first application -
-
-
-

1.3.1. On the Producer Side

-
-

To start working with Spring Cloud Contract, you can add Spring Cloud Contract Verifier -dependency and plugin to your build file, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier</artifactId>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following listing shows how to add the plugin, which should go in the build/plugins -portion of the file:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -
-

The easiest way to get started is to go to the Spring Initializr -and add “Web” and “Contract Verifier” as dependencies. Doing so pulls in the previously -mentioned dependencies and everything else you need in the pom.xml file (except for -setting the base test class, which we cover later in this section). The following image -shows the settings to use in the Spring Initializr:

-
-
-
-Spring Initializr with Web and Contract Verifier -
-
-
-
-
-

Now you can add files with REST/ messaging contracts -expressed in either Groovy DSL or YAML to the contracts directory, which is set by the -contractsDslDir property. By default, it is $rootDir/src/test/resources/contracts. -Note that the file name does not matter. You can organize your contracts within this -directory with whatever naming scheme you like.

-
-
-

For the HTTP stubs, a contract defines what kind of response should be returned for a -given request (taking into account the HTTP methods, URLs, headers, status codes, and so -on). The following example shows an HTTP stub contract in both Groovy and YAML:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
package contracts
-
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'PUT'
-        url '/fraudcheck'
-        body([
-               "client.id": $(regex('[0-9]{10}')),
-               loanAmount: 99999
-        ])
-        headers {
-            contentType('application/json')
-        }
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-        body([
-               fraudCheckStatus: "FRAUD",
-               "rejection.reason": "Amount too high"
-        ])
-        headers {
-            contentType('application/json')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yaml
-
-
request:
-  method: PUT
-  url: /fraudcheck
-  body:
-    "client.id": 1234567890
-    loanAmount: 99999
-  headers:
-    Content-Type: application/json
-  matchers:
-    body:
-      - path: $.['client.id']
-        type: by_regex
-        value: "[0-9]{10}"
-response:
-  status: 200
-  body:
-    fraudCheckStatus: "FRAUD"
-    "rejection.reason": "Amount too high"
-  headers:
-    Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
-
-
-
-
-
-

If you need to use messaging, you can define:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    The input and output messages (taking into account from and where it -was sent, the message body, and the header).

    -
    • -
  • -

    The methods that should be called after the message is received.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The methods that, when called, should trigger a message.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The following example shows a Camel messaging contract:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
def contractDsl = Contract.make {
-    name "foo"
-    label 'some_label'
-    input {
-        messageFrom('jms:delete')
-        messageBody([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        messageHeaders {
-            header('sample', 'header')
-        }
-        assertThat('bookWasDeleted()')
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yaml
-
-
label: some_label
-input:
-  messageFrom: jms:delete
-  messageBody:
-    bookName: 'foo'
-  messageHeaders:
-    sample: header
-  assertThat: bookWasDeleted()
-
-
-
-
-
-

Running ./mvnw clean install automatically generates tests that verify the application -compliance with the added contracts. By default, the generated tests are under -org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.tests..

-
-
-

The generated tests may differ, depending on which framework and test type you have setup -in your plugin.

-
-
-

In the next listing, you can find:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    The default test mode for HTTP contracts in MockMvc

    -
    • -
  • -

    A JAX-RS client with the JAXRS test mode

    -
    • -
  • -

    A WebTestClient-based test (this is particularly recommended while working with -Reactive, Web-Flux-based applications) set with the WEBTESTCLIENT test mode

    -
    • -
  • -

    A Spock-based test with the testFramework property set to SPOCK

    -
    • -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You need only one of these test frameworks. MockMvc is the default. To use one -of the other frameworks, add its library to your classpath. -
-
-
-

The following listing shows samples for all frameworks:

-
-
-
-
-
mockmvc
-
-
@Test
-public void validate_shouldMarkClientAsFraud() throws Exception {
-    // given:

-
-

As the implementation of the functionalities described by the contracts is not yet -present, the tests fail.

-
-
-

To make them pass, you must add the correct implementation of handling either HTTP -requests or messages. Also, you must add a base test class for auto-generated -tests to the project. This class is extended by all the auto-generated tests and should -contain all the setup necessary information needed to run them (for example, -RestAssuredMockMvc controller setup or messaging test setup).

-
-
-

The following example, from pom.xml, shows how to specify the base test class:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<build>
-        <plugins>
-            <plugin>
-                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-                <version>2.1.2.RELEASE</version>
-                <extensions>true</extensions>
-                <configuration>
-                    <baseClassForTests>com.example.contractTest.BaseTestClass</baseClassForTests> (1)
-                </configuration>
-            </plugin>
-            <plugin>
-                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
-                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-            </plugin>
-        </plugins>
-    </build>
-
-
-
- - - - - -
1The baseClassForTests element lets you specify your base test class. It must be a child -of a configuration element within spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin.
-
-
-
-
-

The following example shows a minimal (but functional) base test class:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example.contractTest;
-
-import org.junit.Before;
-
-import io.restassured.module.mockmvc.RestAssuredMockMvc;
-
-public class BaseTestClass {
-
-    @Before
-    public void setup() {
-        RestAssuredMockMvc.standaloneSetup(new FraudController());
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

This minimal class really is all you need to get your tests to work. It serves as a -starting place to which the automatically generated tests attach.

-
-
-

Now we can move on to the implementation. For that, we first need a data class, which we -then use in our controller. The following listing shows the data class:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example.Test;
-
-import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
-
-public class LoanRequest {
-
-    @JsonProperty("client.id")
-    private String clientId;
-
-    private Long loanAmount;
-
-    public String getClientId() {
-        return clientId;
-    }
-
-    public void setClientId(String clientId) {
-        this.clientId = clientId;
-    }
-
-    public Long getLoanAmount() {
-        return loanAmount;
-    }
-
-    public void setLoanRequestAmount(Long loanAmount) {
-        this.loanAmount = loanAmount;
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The preceding class provides an object in which we can store the parameters. Because the -client ID in the contract is called client.id, we need to use the -@JsonProperty("client.id") parameter to map it to the clientId field.

-
-
-

Now we can move along to the controller, which the following listing shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example.docTest;
-
-import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PutMapping;
-import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
-import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
-
-@RestController
-public class FraudController {
-
-    @PutMapping(value = "/fraudcheck", consumes="application/json", produces="application/json")
-    public String check(@RequestBody LoanRequest loanRequest) { (1)
-
-        if (loanRequest.getLoanAmount() > 10000) { (2)
-            return "{fraudCheckStatus: FRAUD, rejection.reason: Amount too high}"; (3)
-        } else {
-            return "{fraudCheckStatus: OK, acceptance.reason: Amount OK}"; (4)
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1We map the incoming parameters to a LoanRequest object.
2We check the requested loan amount to see if it is too much.
3If it is too much, we return the JSON (created with a simple string here) that the -test expects.
4If we had a test to catch when the amount is allowable, we could match it to this output.
-
-
-
-
-

The FraudController is about as simple as things get. You can do much more, including -logging, validating the client ID, and so on.

-
-
-

Once the implementation and the test base class are in place, the tests pass, and both the -application and the stub artifacts are built and installed in the local Maven repository -Information about installing the stubs jar to the local repository appears in the logs, as -the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
[INFO] --- spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin:1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT:generateStubs (default-generateStubs) @ http-server ---
-[INFO] Building jar: /some/path/http-server/target/http-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar

-
-
-
-
-
-

You can now merge the changes and publish both the application and the stub artifacts -in an online repository.

-
-
-
-

1.3.2. On the Consumer Side

-
-

You can use Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner in the integration tests to get a running -WireMock instance or messaging route that simulates the actual service.

-
-
-

To get started, add the dependency to Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner</artifactId>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can get the Producer-side stubs installed in your Maven repository in either of two -ways:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    By checking out the Producer side repository and adding contracts and generating the -stubs by running the following commands:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    $ cd local-http-server-repo
-$ ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    - - - - - -
    - - -The tests are skipped because the Producer-side contract implementation is not yet -in place, so the automatically-generated contract tests fail. -
    -
    -
    • -
  • -

    Getting already existing producer service stubs from a remote repository. To do so, -pass the stub artifact IDs and artifact repository URl as Spring Cloud Contract Stub -Runner properties, as the following example shows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    stubrunner:
-  ids: 'com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:8080'
-  repositoryRoot: https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    • -
-
-
-

Now you can annotate your test class with @AutoConfigureStubRunner. In the annotation, -provide the group-id and artifact-id for Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner to run -the collaborators' stubs for you, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.NONE)
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:6565"},
-        stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.LOCAL)
-public class LoanApplicationServiceTests {
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Use the REMOTE stubsMode when downloading stubs from an online repository and -LOCAL for offline work. -
-
-
-

In your integration test, you can receive stubbed versions of HTTP responses or messages -that are expected to be emitted by the collaborator service. You can see entries similar -to the following in the build logs:

-
-
-
-
-
-

1.4. Step-by-step Guide to Consumer Driven Contracts (CDC) with Contracts on the Producer Side

-
-

Consider an example of fraud detection and the loan issuance process. The business -scenario is such that we want to issue loans to people but do not want them to steal from -us. The current implementation of our system grants loans to everybody.

-
-
-

Assume that Loan Issuance is a client to the Fraud Detection server. In the current -sprint, we must develop a new feature: if a client wants to borrow too much money, -we mark the client as a fraud.

-
-
-

Technical remarks

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Fraud Detection has an artifact-id of http-server

    -
    • -
  • -

    Loan Issuance has an artifact-id of http-client

    -
    • -
  • -

    Both have a group-id of com.example

    -
    • -
  • -

    For the sake of this example the Stub Storage is Nexus/Artifactory

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Social remarks

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Both the client and the server development teams need to communicate directly and -discuss changes while going through the process

    -
    • -
  • -

    CDC is all about communication

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The server-side -code is available here and the client code is available here.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -In this case, the producer owns the contracts. Physically, all of the contracts are -in the producer’s repository. -
-
-
-

1.4.1. Technical Note

-
-

If you use the SNAPSHOT, Milestone, or Release Candidate versions you need to add the -following section to your build:

-
-
-
-
-

For simplicity, we use the following acronyms:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Loan Issuance (LI): The HTTP client

    -
    • -
  • -

    Fraud Detection (FD): The HTTP server

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Cloud Contract (SCC)

-
-
-
-

1.4.2. The Consumer Side (Loan Issuance)

-
-

As a developer of the Loan Issuance service (a consumer of the Fraud Detection server), you might do the following steps:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Start doing TDD by writing a test for your feature.

    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Write the missing implementation.

    -
    3. -
  3. -

    Clone the Fraud Detection service repository locally.

    -
    4. -
  4. -

    Define the contract locally in the repo of the fraud detection service.

    -
    5. -
  5. -

    Add the Spring Cloud Contract (SCC) plugin.

    -
    6. -
  6. -

    Run the integration tests.

    -
    7. -
  7. -

    File a pull request.

    -
    8. -
  8. -

    Create an initial implementation.

    -
    9. -
  9. -

    Take over the pull request.

    -
    10. -
  10. -

    Write the missing implementation.

    -
    11. -
  11. -

    Deploy your app.

    -
    12. -
  12. -

    Work online.

    -
    13. -
-
-
-

We start with the loan issuance flow, which the following UML diagram shows:

-
-
-
-getting started cdc client -
-
-
-
Start Doing TDD by Writing a Test for Your Feature
-
-

The following listing shows a test that we might use to check whether a loan amount is too -large:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@Test
-public void shouldBeRejectedDueToAbnormalLoanAmount() {
-    // given:
-    LoanApplication application = new LoanApplication(new Client("1234567890"),
-            99999);
-    // when:
-    LoanApplicationResult loanApplication = service.loanApplication(application);
-    // then:
-    assertThat(loanApplication.getLoanApplicationStatus())
-            .isEqualTo(LoanApplicationStatus.LOAN_APPLICATION_REJECTED);
-    assertThat(loanApplication.getRejectionReason()).isEqualTo("Amount too high");
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Assume that you have written a test of your new feature. If a loan application for a big -amount is received, the system should reject that loan application with some description.

-
-
-
-
Write the Missing Implementation
-
-

At some point in time, you need to send a request to the Fraud Detection service. Assume -that you need to send the request containing the ID of the client and the amount the -client wants to borrow. You want to send it to the /fraudcheck URL by using the PUT method. -To do so, you might use code similar to the following:

-
-
-
-
-
-
ResponseEntity<FraudServiceResponse> response = restTemplate.exchange(
-        "http://localhost:" + port + "/fraudcheck", HttpMethod.PUT,
-        new HttpEntity<>(request, httpHeaders), FraudServiceResponse.class);
-
-
-
-
-
-

For simplicity, the port of the Fraud Detection service is set to 8080, and the -application runs on 8090.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you start the test at this point, it breaks, because no service currently runs on port -8080. -
-
-
-
-
Clone the Fraud Detection service repository locally
-
-

You can start by playing around with the server side contract. To do so, you must first -clone it, by running the following command:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ git clone https://your-git-server.com/server-side.git local-http-server-repo
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Define the Contract Locally in the Repository of the Fraud Detection Service
-
-

As a consumer, you need to define what exactly you want to achieve. You need to formulate -your expectations. To do so, write the following contract:

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Place the contract in the src/test/resources/contracts/fraud folder. The fraud folder -is important because the producer’s test base class name references that folder. -
-
-
-

The following example shows our contract, in both Groovy and YAML:

The YML contract is quite straightforward. However, when you take a look at the Contract -written with a statically typed Groovy DSL, you might wonder what the -value(client(…​), server(…​)) parts are. By using this notation, Spring Cloud -Contract lets you define parts of a JSON block, a URL, or other structure that is dynamic. In case -of an identifier or a timestamp, you need not hardcode a value. You want to allow some -different ranges of values. To enable ranges of values, you can set regular expressions -that match those values for the consumer side. You can provide the body by means of either -a map notation or String with interpolations. We highly recommend using the map notation.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You must understand the map notation in order to set up contracts. See the -Groovy docs regarding JSON. -
-
-
-

The previously shown contract is an agreement between two sides that:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    If an HTTP request is sent with all of

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      A PUT method on the /fraudcheck endpoint

      -
      • -
    • -

      A JSON body with a client.id that matches the regular expression [0-9]{10} and -loanAmount equal to 99999,

      -
      • -
    • -

      A Content-Type header with a value of application/vnd.fraud.v1+json

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
  • -

    Then an HTTP response is sent to the consumer that

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      Has status 200

      -
      • -
    • -

      Contains a JSON body with the fraudCheckStatus field containing a value of FRAUD and -the rejectionReason field having a value of Amount too high

      -
      • -
    • -

      Has a Content-Type header with a value of application/vnd.fraud.v1+json

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
-
-
-

Once you are ready to check the API in practice in the integration tests, you need to -install the stubs locally.

-
-
-
-
Add the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier Plugin
-
-

We can add either a Maven or a Gradle plugin. In this example, we show how to add Maven. -First, we add the Spring Cloud Contract BOM, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<dependencyManagement>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
-            <version>${spring-cloud-release.version}</version>
-            <type>pom</type>
-            <scope>import</scope>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</dependencyManagement>
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, add the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier Maven plugin, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
            <plugin>
-                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-                <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-                <extensions>true</extensions>
-                <configuration>
-                    <packageWithBaseClasses>com.example.fraud</packageWithBaseClasses>
-<!--                    <convertToYaml>true</convertToYaml>-->
-                </configuration>
-                <!-- if additional dependencies are needed e.g. for Pact -->
-                <dependencies>
-                    <dependency>
-                        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                        <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-pact</artifactId>
-                        <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-                    </dependency>
-                </dependencies>
-            </plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-

Since the plugin was added, you get the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier features, which, -from the provided contracts:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Generate and run tests

    -
    • -
  • -

    Produce and install stubs

    -
    • -
-
-
-

You do not want to generate tests, since you, as the consumer, want only to play with the -stubs. You need to skip the test generation and execution. To do so, run the following commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ cd local-http-server-repo
-$ ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
-
-
-
-
-
-

Once you run those commands, you should you see something like the following content in the logs:

-
-
-
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
-
-

The following line is extremely important:

-
-
-
-
-
-
[INFO] Installing /some/path/http-server/target/http-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar to /path/to/your/.m2/repository/com/example/http-server/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/http-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
-
-
-
-
-
-

It confirms that the stubs of the http-server have been installed in the local -repository.

-
-
-
-
Running the Integration Tests
-
-

In order to profit from the Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner functionality of automatic -stub downloading, you must do the following in your consumer side project (Loan -Application service):

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Add the Spring Cloud Contract BOM, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    <dependencyManagement>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
-            <version>${spring-cloud-release-train.version}</version>
-            <type>pom</type>
-            <scope>import</scope>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</dependencyManagement>
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Add the dependency to Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    <dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner</artifactId>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    3. -
  3. -

    Annotate your test class with @AutoConfigureStubRunner. In the annotation, provide the -group-id and artifact-id for the Stub Runner to download the stubs of your -collaborators. (Optional step) Because you are playing with the collaborators offline, you -can also provide the offline work switch (StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.LOCAL).

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.NONE)
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {
-        "com.example:http-server-dsl:0.0.1:stubs" }, stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.LOCAL)
-public class LoanApplicationServiceTests {
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    4. -
-
-
-

Now, when you run your tests, you see something like the following output in the logs:

-
-
-
-
-
-
2016-07-19 14:22:25.403  INFO 41050 --- [           main] o.s.c.c.stubrunner.AetherStubDownloader  : Desired version is + - will try to resolve the latest version

-
-
-
-
-
-

This output means that Stub Runner has found your stubs and started a server for your application -with a group ID of com.example and an artifact ID of http-server with version 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT of -the stubs and with the stubs classifier on port 8080.

-
-
-
-
Filing a Pull Request
-
-

What you have done until now is an iterative process. You can play around with the -contract, install it locally, and work on the consumer side until the contract works as -you wish.

-
-
-

Once you are satisfied with the results and the test passes, you can publish a pull request to -the server side. Currently, the consumer side work is done.

-
-
-
-
-

1.4.3. The Producer Side (Fraud Detection server)

-
-

As a developer of the Fraud Detection server (a server to the Loan Issuance service), you -might want to do the following

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Take over the pull request

    -
    • -
  • -

    Write the missing implementation

    -
    • -
  • -

    Deploy the application

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The following UML diagram shows the fraud detection flow:

-
-
-
-getting started cdc server -
-
-
-
Taking over the Pull Request
-
-

As a reminder, the following listing shows the initial implementation:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RequestMapping(value = "/fraudcheck", method = PUT)
-public FraudCheckResult fraudCheck(@RequestBody FraudCheck fraudCheck) {
-return new FraudCheckResult(FraudCheckStatus.OK, NO_REASON);
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then you can run the following commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ git checkout -b contract-change-pr master
-$ git pull https://your-git-server.com/server-side-fork.git contract-change-pr
-
-
-
-
-
-

You must add the dependencies needed by the autogenerated tests, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier</artifactId>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
-
-

In the configuration of the Maven plugin, you must pass the packageWithBaseClasses property, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
            <plugin>
-                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-                <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-                <extensions>true</extensions>
-                <configuration>
-                    <packageWithBaseClasses>com.example.fraud</packageWithBaseClasses>
-<!--                    <convertToYaml>true</convertToYaml>-->
-                </configuration>
-                <!-- if additional dependencies are needed e.g. for Pact -->
-                <dependencies>
-                    <dependency>
-                        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                        <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-pact</artifactId>
-                        <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-                    </dependency>
-                </dependencies>
-            </plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -This example uses “convention-based” naming by setting the -packageWithBaseClasses property. Doing so means that the two last packages combine to -make the name of the base test class. In our case, the contracts were placed under -src/test/resources/contracts/fraud. Since you do not have two packages starting from -the contracts folder, pick only one, which should be fraud. Add the Base suffix and -capitalize fraud. That gives you the FraudBase test class name. -
-
-
-

All the generated tests extend that class. Over there, you can set up your Spring Context -or whatever is necessary. In this case, you should use Rest Assured MVC to -start the server side FraudDetectionController. The following listing shows the -FraudBase class:

-
Results :

-Tests in error:

-
-
-
-
-
-

This error occurs because you have a new contract from which a test was generated and it -failed since you have not implemented the feature. The auto-generated test would look -like the following test method:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@Test

-        assertThat(response.header("Content-Type")).matches("application/vnd.fraud.v1.json.*");
-    // and:
-        DocumentContext parsedJson = JsonPath.parse(response.getBody().asString());
-        assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['fraudCheckStatus']").matches("[A-Z]{5}");
-        assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['rejection.reason']").isEqualTo("Amount too high");
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

If you used the Groovy DSL, you can see that all of the producer() parts of the Contract that were present in the -value(consumer(…​), producer(…​)) blocks got injected into the test. -In case of using YAML, the same applied for the matchers sections of the response.

-
-
-

Note that, on the producer side, you are also doing TDD. The expectations are expressed -in the form of a test. This test sends a request to our own application with the URL, -headers, and body defined in the contract. It is also expecting precisely defined values -in the response. In other words, you have the red part of red, green, and -refactor. It is time to convert the red into the green.

-
-
-
-
Write the Missing Implementation
-
-

Because you know the expected input and expected output, you can write the missing -implementation as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RequestMapping(value = "/fraudcheck", method = PUT)
-public FraudCheckResult fraudCheck(@RequestBody FraudCheck fraudCheck) {
-if (amountGreaterThanThreshold(fraudCheck)) {
-    return new FraudCheckResult(FraudCheckStatus.FRAUD, AMOUNT_TOO_HIGH);
-}
-return new FraudCheckResult(FraudCheckStatus.OK, NO_REASON);
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

When you run ./mvnw clean install again, the tests pass. Since the Spring Cloud -Contract Verifier plugin adds the tests to the generated-test-sources, you can -actually run those tests from your IDE.

-
-
-
-
Deploying Your Application
-
-

Once you finish your work, you can deploy your changes. To do so, you must first merge the -branch by running the following commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ git checkout master
-$ git merge --no-ff contract-change-pr
-$ git push origin master
-
-
-
-
-
-

Your CI might run something a command such as ./mvnw clean deploy, which would publish both the -application and the stub artifacts.

-
-
-
-
-

1.4.4. Consumer Side (Loan Issuance), Final Step

-
-

As a developer of the loan issuance service (a consumer of the Fraud Detection server), I want to:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Merge our feature branch to master

    -
    • -
  • -

    Switch to online mode of working

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The following UML diagram shows the final state of the process:

-
-
-
-getting started cdc client final -
-
-
-
Merging a Branch to Master
-
-

The following commands show one way to merge a branch into master with Git:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ git checkout master
-$ git merge --no-ff contract-change-pr
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Working Online
-
-

Now you can disable the offline work for Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner and indicate -where the repository with your stubs is located. At this moment, the stubs of the server -side are automatically downloaded from Nexus/Artifactory. You can set the value of -stubsMode to REMOTE. The following code shows an example of -achieving the same thing by changing the properties:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  ids: 'com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:8080'
-  repositoryRoot: https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot
-
-
-
-
-
-

That’s it. You have finished the tutorial.

-
-
-
-
-
-

1.5. Next Steps

-
-

Hopefully, this section provided some of the Spring Cloud Contract basics and got you on your way -to writing your own applications. If you are a task-oriented type of developer, you might -want to jump over to spring.io and check out some of the -getting started guides that solve specific “How do I do that -with Spring?” problems. We also have Spring Cloud Contract-specific -“how-to” reference documentation.

-
-
-

Otherwise, the next logical step is to read Using Spring Cloud Contract. If -you are really impatient, you could also jump ahead and read about -Spring Cloud Contract features.

-
-
-

In addition to that you can check out the following videos:

2. Using Spring Cloud Contract

-
-
-

This section goes into more detail about how you should use Spring Cloud Contract. It covers topics -such as flows of how to work with Spring Cloud Contract. We also -cover some Spring Cloud Contract best practices.

-
-
-

If you are starting out with Spring Cloud Contract, you should probably read the -Getting Started guide before diving into this -section.

-
-
-

2.1. Provider Contract Testing with Stubs in Nexus or Artifactory

-
-

You can check the Developing Your First Spring Cloud Contract based application link to see the provider contract testing with stubs in the Nexus or Artifactory flow.

-
-
-

You can also check the workshop page for a step-by-step instruction on how to do this flow.

-
-
-
-

2.2. Provider Contract Testing with Stubs in Git

-
-

In this flow, we perform the provider contract testing (the producer has no knowledge of how consumers use their API). The stubs are uploaded to a separate repository (they are not uploaded to Artifactory or Nexus).

-
-
-

2.2.1. Prerequisites

-
-

Before testing provider contracts with stubs in git, you must provide a git repository -that contains all the stubs for each producer. For an example of such a project, see -this samples or this sample. -As a result of pushing stubs there, the repository has the following structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ tree .
-└── META-INF
-   └── folder.with.group.id.as.its.name
-       └── folder-with-artifact-id
-           └── folder-with-version
-               ├── contractA.groovy
-               ├── contractB.yml
-               └── contractC.groovy
-
-
-
-
-
-

You must also provide consumer code that has Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner set up. For -an example of such a project, see this sample and search for a -BeerControllerGitTest test. You must also provide producer code that has Spring Cloud -Contract set up, together with a plugin. For an example of such a project, see -this sample.

-
-
-
-

2.2.2. The Flow

-
-

The flow looks exactly as the one presented in -Developing Your First Spring Cloud Contract based application, -but the Stub Storage implementation is a git repository.

-
-
-

You can read more about setting up a git repository and setting consumer and producer side -in the How To page of the documentation.

-
-
-
-

2.2.3. Consumer setup

-
-

In order to fetch the stubs from a git repository instead of Nexus or Artifactory, you -need to use the git protocol in the URL of the repositoryRoot property in Stub Runner. -The following example shows how to set it up:

-
-
-
-
-
Annotation
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(
-stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE,
-        repositoryRoot = "git://git@github.com:spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git",
-        ids = "com.example:artifact-id:0.0.1")
-
-
-
-
JUnit 4 Rule
-
-
@Rule
-    public StubRunnerRule rule = new StubRunnerRule()
-            .downloadStub("com.example","artifact-id", "0.0.1")
-            .repoRoot("git://git@github.com:spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git")
-            .stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE);
-
-
-
-
JUnit 5 Extension
-
-
@RegisterExtension
-    public StubRunnerExtension stubRunnerExtension = new StubRunnerExtension()
-            .downloadStub("com.example","artifact-id", "0.0.1")
-            .repoRoot("git://git@github.com:spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git")
-            .stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE);
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

2.2.4. Setting up the Producer

-
-

In order to push the stubs to a git repository instead of Nexus or Artifactory, you need -to use the git protocol in the URL of the plugin setup. Also you need to explicitly tell -the plugin to push the stubs at the end of the build process. The following example shows -how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <!-- Base class mappings etc. -->
-
-        <!-- We want to pick contracts from a Git repository -->
-        <contractsRepositoryUrl>git://git://git@github.com:spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git</contractsRepositoryUrl>
-
-        <!-- We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-        to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-        path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts -->
-        <contractDependency>
-            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
-            <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
-            <version>${project.version}</version>
-        </contractDependency>
-
-        <!-- The contracts mode can't be classpath -->
-        <contractsMode>REMOTE</contractsMode>
-    </configuration>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <phase>package</phase>
-            <goals>
-                <!-- By default we will not push the stubs back to SCM,
-                you have to explicitly add it as a goal -->
-                <goal>pushStubsToScm</goal>
-            </goals>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
contracts {
-    // We want to pick contracts from a Git repository
-    contractDependency {
-        stringNotation = "${project.group}:${project.name}:${project.version}"
-    }
-    /*
-    We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-    to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-    path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts
-     */
-    contractRepository {
-        repositoryUrl = "git://git://git@github.com:spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git"
-    }
-    // The mode can't be classpath
-    contractsMode = "REMOTE"
-    // Base class mappings etc.
-}
-
-/*
-In this scenario we want to publish stubs to SCM whenever
-the `publish` task is executed
-*/
-publish.dependsOn("publishStubsToScm")
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can read more about setting up a git repository in the -How To page of the documentation.

2.3. Consumer Driven Contracts with Contracts on the Producer Side

-
-

See Step-by-step Guide to Consumer Driven -Contracts (CDC) with Contracts on the Producer Side to see the Consumer Driven Contracts -with contracts on the producer side flow.

-
-
-
-

2.4. Consumer Driven Contracts with Contracts in an External Repository

-
-

In this flow, we perform Consumer Driven Contract testing. The contract definitions are -stored in a separate repository.

-
-
-

See the workshop page -for step-by-step instructions on how to do this flow.

-
-
-

2.4.1. Prerequisites

-
-

To use consumer-driven contracts with the contracts held in an external repository, you need to set up a git repository that:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Contains all the contract definitions for each producer.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Can package the contract definitions in a JAR.

    -
    • -
  • -

    For each contract producer, contains a way (for example, pom.xml) to install stubs -locally through the Spring Cloud Contract Plugin (SCC Plugin)

    -
    • -
-
-
-

For more information, see the How To section, -where we describe how to set up such a repository -For an example of such a project, see this sample.

-
-
-

You also need consumer code that has Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner set up. -For an example of such a project, see this sample. -You also need producer code that has Spring Cloud Contract set up, together with a plugin. -For an example of such a project, see this sample. -The stub storage is Nexus or Artifactory

-
-
-

At a high level, the flow looks as follows:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    The consumer works with the contract definitions from the separate repository

    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Once the consumer’s work is done, a branch with working code is done on the consumer -side and a pull request is made to the separate repository that holds the contract definitions.

    -
    3. -
  3. -

    The producer takes over the pull request to the separate repository with contract -definitions and installs the JAR with all contracts locally.

    -
    4. -
  4. -

    The producer generates tests from the locally stored JAR and writes the missing -implementation to make the tests pass.

    -
    5. -
  5. -

    Once the producer’s work is done, the pull request to the repository that holds the -contract definitions is merged.

    -
    6. -
  6. -

    After the CI tool builds the repository with the contract definitions and the JAR with -contract definitions gets uploaded to Nexus or Artifactory, the producer can merge its branch.

    -
    7. -
  7. -

    Finally, the consumer can switch to working online to fetch stubs of the producer from a -remote location, and the branch can be merged to master.

    -
    8. -
-
-
-
-

2.4.2. Consumer Flow

-
-

The consumer:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Writes a test that would send a request to the producer.

    -
    -

    The test fails due to no server being present.

    -
    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Clones the repository that holds the contract definitions.

    -
    3. -
  3. -

    Set up the requirements as contracts under the folder with the consumer name as a subfolder of the producer.

    -
    -

    For example, for a producer named producer and a consumer named consumer, the contracts would be stored under src/main/resources/contracts/producer/consumer/)

    -
    -
    4. -
  4. -

    Once the contracts are defined, installs the producer stubs to local storage, as the following example shows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    $ cd src/main/resource/contracts/producer
-$ ./mvnw clean install
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    5. -
  5. -

    Sets up Spring Cloud Contract (SCC) Stub Runner in the consumer tests, to:

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      Fetch the producer stubs from local storage.

      -
      • -
    • -

      Work in the stubs-per-consumer mode (this enables consumer driven contracts mode).

      -
      -

      The SCC Stub Runner:

      -
      -
      • -
    • -

      Fetches the producer stubs.

      -
      • -
    • -

      Runs an in-memory HTTP server stub with the producer stubs.

      -
      • -
    • -

      Now your test communicates with the HTTP server stub and your tests pass

      -
      • -
    • -

      Create a pull request to the repository with contract definitions, with the new contracts for the producer

      -
      • -
    • -

      Branch your consumer code, until the producer team has merged their code

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    6. -
-
-
-

The following UML diagram shows the consumer flow:

-
-
-
-

2.4.3. Producer Flow

-
-

The producer:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Takes over the pull request to the repository with contract definitions. You can do it -from the command line, as follows

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    $ git checkout -b the_branch_with_pull_request master
-git pull https://github.com/user_id/project_name.git the_branch_with_pull_request
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Installs the contract definitions, as follows

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    $ ./mvnw clean install
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    3. -
  3. -

    Sets up the plugin to fetch the contract definitions from a JAR instead of from -src/test/resources/contracts, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    Maven
    -
    -
    <plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <!-- We want to use the JAR with contracts with the following coordinates -->
-        <contractDependency>
-            <groupId>com.example</groupId>
-            <artifactId>beer-contracts</artifactId>
-        </contractDependency>
-        <!-- The JAR with contracts should be taken from Maven local -->
-        <contractsMode>LOCAL</contractsMode>
-        <!-- ... additional configuration -->
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
    -
    -
    -
    -
    Gradle
    -
    -
    contracts {
-    // We want to use the JAR with contracts with the following coordinates
-    // group id `com.example`, artifact id `beer-contracts`, LATEST version and NO classifier
-    contractDependency {
-        stringNotation = 'com.example:beer-contracts:+:'
-    }
-    // The JAR with contracts should be taken from Maven local
-    contractsMode = "LOCAL"
-    // Additional configuration
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    4. -
  4. -

    Runs the build to generate tests and stubs, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    Maven
    -
    -
    ./mvnw clean install
    -
    -
    -
    -
    Gradle
    -
    -
    ./gradlew clean build
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    5. -
  5. -

    Writes the missing implementation, to make the tests pass.

    -
    6. -
  6. -

    Merges the pull request to the repository with contract definitions, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    $ git commit -am "Finished the implementation to make the contract tests pass"
-$ git checkout master
-$ git merge --no-ff the_branch_with_pull_request
-$ git push origin master
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    7. -
  7. -

    The CI system builds the project with the contract definitions and uploads the JAR with -the contract definitions to Nexus or Artifactory.

    -
    8. -
  8. -

    Switches to working remotely.

    -
    9. -
  9. -

    Sets up the plugin so that the contract definitions are no longer taken from the local -storage but from a remote location, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    Maven
    -
    -
    <plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <!-- We want to use the JAR with contracts with the following coordinates -->
-        <contractDependency>
-            <groupId>com.example</groupId>
-            <artifactId>beer-contracts</artifactId>
-        </contractDependency>
-        <!-- The JAR with contracts should be taken from a remote location -->
-        <contractsMode>REMOTE</contractsMode>
-        <!-- ... additional configuration -->
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
    -
    -
    -
    -
    Gradle
    -
    -
    contracts {
-    // We want to use the JAR with contracts with the following coordinates
-    // group id `com.example`, artifact id `beer-contracts`, LATEST version and NO classifier
-    contractDependency {
-        stringNotation = 'com.example:beer-contracts:+:'
-    }
-    // The JAR with contracts should be taken from a remote location
-    contractsMode = "REMOTE"
-    // Additional configuration
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    10. -
  10. -

    Merges the producer code with the new implementation.

    -
    11. -
  11. -

    The CI system:

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      Builds the project

      -
      • -
    • -

      Generates tests, stubs, and the stub JAR

      -
      • -
    • -

      Uploads the artifact with the application and the stubs to Nexus or Artifactory.

      -
      • -

-
-

You can check Step-by-step Guide to Consumer Driven Contracts (CDC) with contracts laying on the producer side to see the consumer driven contracts with contracts on the producer side flow.

-
-
-

The stub storage implementation is a git repository. We describe its setup in the -Provider Contract Testing with Stubs in Git section.

2.6. Provider Contract Testing with Stubs in Artifactory for a non-Spring Application

-
-

2.6.1. The Flow

-
-

You can check Developing Your First Spring Cloud Contract based application to see the flow for provider contract testing with stubs in Nexus or Artifactory.

-
-
-
-

2.6.2. Setting up the Consumer

-
-

For the consumer side, you can use a JUnit rule. That way, you need not start a Spring context. The follwoing listing shows such a rule (in JUnit4 and JUnit 5);

-
-
-
-
-
JUnit 4 Rule
-
-
@Rule

2.6.3. Setting up the Producer

-
-

By default, the Spring Cloud Contract Plugin uses Rest Assured’s MockMvc setup for the -generated tests. Since non-Spring applications do not use MockMvc, you can change the -testMode to EXPLICIT to send a real request to an application bound at a specific port.

-
-
-

In this example, we use a framework called Javalin to start a -non-Spring HTTP server.

-
-
-

Assume that we have the following application:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example.demo;
-
-import io.javalin.Javalin;
-
-public class DemoApplication {
-
-    public static void main(String[] args) {
-        new DemoApplication().run(7000);
-    }
-
-    public Javalin start(int port) {
-        return Javalin.create().start(port);
-    }
-
-    public Javalin registerGet(Javalin app) {
-        return app.get("/", ctx -> ctx.result("Hello World"));
-    }
-
-    public Javalin run(int port) {
-        return registerGet(start(port));
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Given that application, we can set up the plugin to use the EXPLICIT mode (that is, to -send out requests to a real port), as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <baseClassForTests>com.example.demo.BaseClass</baseClassForTests>
-        <!-- This will setup the EXPLICIT mode for the tests -->
-        <testMode>EXPLICIT</testMode>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
contracts {
-    // This will setup the EXPLICIT mode for the tests
-    testMode = "EXPLICIT"
-    baseClassForTests = "com.example.demo.BaseClass"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The base class might resemble the following:

-
-
-
-
-
-
import io.javalin.Javalin;
-import io.restassured.RestAssured;
-import org.junit.After;
-import org.junit.Before;
-import org.springframework.util.SocketUtils;
-
-public class BaseClass {
-
-    Javalin app;
-
-    @Before
-    public void setup() {
-        // pick a random port
-        int port = SocketUtils.findAvailableTcpPort();
-        // start the application at a random port
-        this.app = start(port);
-        // tell Rest Assured where the started application is
-        RestAssured.baseURI = "http://localhost:" + port;
-    }
-
-    @After
-    public void close() {
-        // stop the server after each test
-        this.app.stop();
-    }
-
-    private Javalin start(int port) {
-        // reuse the production logic to start a server
-        return new DemoApplication().run(port);
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

With such a setup:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    We have setup the Spring Cloud Contract plugin to use the EXPLICIT mode to send real -requests instead of mocked ones.

    -
    • -
  • -

    We have defined a base class that:

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      Starts the HTTP server on a random port for each test.

      -
      • -
    • -

      Sets Rest Assured to send requests to that port.

      -
      • -
    • -

      Closes the HTTP server after each test.

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
-
-
-
-
-

2.7. Provider Contract Testing with Stubs in Artifactory in a non-JVM World

-
-

In this flow, we assume that:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    The API Producer and API Consumer are non-JVM applications.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The contract definitions are written in YAML.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The Stub Storage is Artifactory or Nexus.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Cloud Contract Docker (SCC Docker) and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner Docker -(SCC Stub Runner Docker) images are used.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

You can read more about how to use Spring Cloud Contract with Docker in this page.

-
-
-

Here, you can -read a blog post about how to use Spring Cloud Contract in a polyglot world.

-
-
-

Here, you can find -a sample of a NodeJS application that uses Spring Cloud Contract both as a producer and a -consumer.

-
-
-

2.7.1. Producer Flow

-
-

At a high level, the producer:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Writes contract definitions (for example, in YAML).

    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Sets up the build tool to:

    -
    -
      -
    1. -

      Start the application with mocked services on a given port.

      -
      -

      If mocking is not possible, you can setup the infrastructure and define tests in a stateful way.

      -
      -
      2. -
    2. -

      Run the Spring Cloud Contract Docker image and pass the port of a running application as an environment variable.

      -
      3. -
    -
    -
    3. -
-
-
-

The SCC Docker image: -* Generates the tests from the attached volume. -* Runs the tests against the running application.

-
-
-

Upon test completion, stubs get uploaded to a stub storage site (such as Artifactory or Git).

-
-
-

The following UML diagram shows the producer flow:

-
-
-
-flows provider non jvm producer -
-
-
-
-

2.7.2. Consumer Flow

-
-

At a high level, the consumer:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Sets up the build tool to:

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      Start the Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner Docker image and start the stubs.

      -
      -

      The environment variables configure:

      -
      -
      • -
    • -

      The stubs to fetch.

      -
      • -
    • -

      The location of the repositories.

      -
      -

      Note that:

      -
      -
      • -
    • -

      To use the local storage, you can also attach it as a volume.

      -
      • -
    • -

      The ports at which the stubs are running need to be exposed.

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Run the application tests against the running stubs.

    -

2.8. Provider Contract Testing with REST Docs and Stubs in Nexus or Artifactory

-
-

In this flow, we do not use a Spring Cloud Contract plugin to generate tests and stubs. We write Spring RESTDocs and, from them, we automatically generate stubs. Finally, we set up our builds to package the stubs and upload them to the stub storage site — in our case, Nexus or Artifactory.

-
-
-

See the workshop page for a step-by-step instruction on how to use this flow.

-
-
-

2.8.1. Producer Flow

-
-

As a producer, we:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    We write RESTDocs tests of our API.

    -
    2. -
  2. -

    We add Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner starter to our build (spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner), as follows

    -
    -
    -
    -
    maven
    -
    -
    <dependencies>
-    <dependency>
-        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner</artifactId>
-        <scope>test</scope>
-    </dependency>

-            <type>pom</type>
-            <scope>import</scope>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</dependencyManagement>
    -
    -
    -
    -
    gradle
    -
    -
    dependencies {
-    testImplementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner'
-}
-
-dependencyManagement {
-    imports {
-        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
-    }
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    3. -
  3. -

    We set up the build tool to package our stubs, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    maven
    -
    -
    <!-- pom.xml -->

    -
    -
    -
    -
    gradle
    -
    -
    task stubsJar(type: Jar) {
-    classifier = "stubs"
-    into("META-INF/${project.group}/${project.name}/${project.version}/mappings") {
-        include('**/*.*')
-        from("${project.buildDir}/generated-snippets/stubs")
-    }
-}
-// we need the tests to pass to build the stub jar
-stubsJar.dependsOn(test)
-bootJar.dependsOn(stubsJar)
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    4. -
-
-
-

Now, when we run the tests, stubs are automatically published and packaged.

2.9. What to Read Next

-
-

You should now understand how you can use Spring Cloud Contract and some best practices that you -should follow. You can now go on to learn about specific -Spring Cloud Contract features, or you could -skip ahead and read about the advanced features of Spring Cloud Contract.

-
-
-
-
-
-

3. Spring Cloud Contract Features

-
-
-

This section dives into the details of Spring Cloud Contract. Here you can learn about the key -features that you may want to use and customize. If you have not already done so, you -might want to read the "Getting Started" and -"Using Spring Cloud Contract" sections, so that you have a good grounding of the -basics.

-
-
-

3.1. Contract DSL

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract supports the DSLs written in the following languages:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Groovy

    -
    • -
  • -

    YAML

    -
    • -
  • -

    Java

    -
    • -
  • -

    Kotlin

    -
    • -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Spring Cloud Contract supports defining multiple contracts in a single file. -
-
-
-

The following example shows a contract definition:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'PUT'
-        url '/api/12'
-        headers {
-            header 'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.twitter-places-analyzer.v1+json'
-        }
-        body '''\
-    [{
-        "created_at": "Sat Jul 26 09:38:57 +0000 2014",

-        headers {
-            header("foo", value(client(regex("bar")), server("bar")))
-            header("fooReq", "baz")
-        }
-        body = body(mapOf("foo" to "bar"))
-        bodyMatchers {
-            jsonPath("$.foo", byRegex("bar"))
-        }
-    }
-    response {
-        delay = fixedMilliseconds(1000)
-        status = OK
-        headers {
-            header("foo2", value(server(regex("bar")), client("bar")))
-            header("foo3", value(server(execute("andMeToo(\$it)")), client("foo33")))
-            header("fooRes", "baz")
-        }
-        body = body(mapOf(
-                "foo" to "bar",
-                "foo3" to "baz",
-                "nullValue" to null
-        ))
-        bodyMatchers {
-            jsonPath("$.foo2", byRegex("bar"))
-            jsonPath("$.foo3", byCommand("executeMe(\$it)"))
-            jsonPath("$.nullValue", byNull)
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -
-

You can compile contracts to stubs mapping by using the following standalone Maven command:

-
-
-
-
mvn org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin:convert
-
-

3.1.1. Contract DSL in Groovy

-
-

If you are not familiar with Groovy, do not worry - you can use Java syntax in the -Groovy DSL files as well.

-
-
-

If you decide to write the contract in Groovy, do not be alarmed if you have not used Groovy -before. Knowledge of the language is not really needed, as the Contract DSL uses only a -tiny subset of it (only literals, method calls, and closures). Also, the DSL is statically -typed, to make it programmer-readable without any knowledge of the DSL itself.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Remember that, inside the Groovy contract file, you have to provide the fully -qualified name to the Contract class and make static imports, such as -org.springframework.cloud.spec.Contract.make { …​ }. You can also provide an import to -the Contract class (import org.springframework.cloud.spec.Contract) and then call -Contract.make { …​ }. -
-
-
-
-

3.1.2. Contract DSL in Java

-
-

To write a contract definition in Java, you need to create a class, that implements either the Supplier<Contract> interface for a single contract or Supplier<Collection<Contract>> for multiple contracts.

-
-
-

You can also write the contract definitions under src/test/java (e.g. src/test/java/contracts) so that you don’t have to modify the classpath of your project. In this case you’ll have to provide a new location of contract definitions to your Spring Cloud Contract plugin.

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <contractsDirectory>src/test/java/contracts</contractsDirectory>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
contracts {
-    contractsDslDir = new File(project.rootDir, "src/test/java/contracts")
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.1.3. Contract DSL in Kotlin

-
-

To get started with writing contracts in Kotlin you would need to start with a (newly created) Kotlin Script file (.kts). -Just like the with the Java DSL you can put your contracts in any directory of your choice. -The Maven and Gradle plugins will look at the src/test/resources/contracts directory by default.

-
-
-

You need to explicitly pass the the spring-cloud-contract-spec-kotlin dependency to your project plugin setup.

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <!-- some config -->
-    </configuration>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-spec-kotlin</artifactId>
-            <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</plugin>
-
-<dependencies>
-        <!-- Remember to add this for the DSL support in the IDE and on the consumer side -->
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-spec-kotlin</artifactId>
-            <scope>test</scope>
-        </dependency>
-</dependencies>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
buildscript {
-    repositories {
-        // ...
-    }
-    dependencies {
-        classpath "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-gradle-plugin:${scContractVersion}"
-        // remember to add this:
-        classpath "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-spec-kotlin:${scContractVersion}"
-    }
-}
-
-dependencies {
-    // ...
-
-    // Remember to add this for the DSL support in the IDE and on the consumer side
-    testImplementation "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-spec-kotlin"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Remember that, inside the Kotlin Script file, you have to provide the fully qualified name to the ContractDSL class. -Generally you would use its contract function like this: org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.contract { …​ }. -You can also provide an import to the contract function (import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.Companion.contract) and then call contract { …​ }. -
-
-
-
-

3.1.4. Contract DSL in YML

-
-

In order to see a schema of a YAML contract, you can check out the YML Schema page.

-
-
-
-

3.1.5. Limitations

-
- - - - - -
- - -The support for verifying the size of JSON arrays is experimental. If you want -to turn it on, set the value of the following system property to true: -spring.cloud.contract.verifier.assert.size. By default, this feature is set to false. -You can also set the assertJsonSize property in the plugin configuration. -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Because JSON structure can have any form, it can be impossible to parse it -properly when using the Groovy DSL and the value(consumer(…​), producer(…​)) notation in GString. That -is why you should use the Groovy Map notation. -
-
-
-
-

3.1.6. Common Top-Level Elements

-
-

The following sections describe the most common top-level elements:

-
-
- -
-
-
Description
-
-

You can add a description to your contract. The description is arbitrary text. The -following code shows an example:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
            org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-                description('''
-given:
-    An input
-when:
-    Sth happens
-then:
-    Output
-''')
-            }
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
description: Some description
-name: some name
-priority: 8
-ignored: true
-request:
-  url: /foo
-  queryParameters:
-    a: b
-    b: c
-  method: PUT
-  headers:
-    foo: bar
-    fooReq: baz
-  body:
-    foo: bar
-  matchers:
-    body:
-      - path: $.foo
-        type: by_regex
-        value: bar
-    headers:
-      - key: foo
-        regex: bar
-response:
-  status: 200
-  headers:
-    foo2: bar
-    foo3: foo33
-    fooRes: baz
-  body:
-    foo2: bar
-    foo3: baz
-    nullValue: null
-  matchers:
-    body:
-      - path: $.foo2
-        type: by_regex
-        value: bar
-      - path: $.foo3
-        type: by_command
-        value: executeMe($it)
-      - path: $.nullValue
-        type: by_null
-        value: null
-    headers:
-      - key: foo2
-        regex: bar
-      - key: foo3
-        command: andMeToo($it)
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.description("Some description");
-}));
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    description = """
-given:
-    An input
-when:
-    Sth happens
-then:
-    Output
-"""
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Name
-
-

You can provide a name for your contract. Assume that you provided the following name: -should register a user. If you do so, the name of the autogenerated test is -validate_should_register_a_user. Also, the name of the stub in a WireMock stub is -should_register_a_user.json.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You must ensure that the name does not contain any characters that make the -generated test not compile. Also, remember that, if you provide the same name for -multiple contracts, your autogenerated tests fail to compile and your generated stubs -override each other. -
-
-
-

The following example shows how to add a name to a contract:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    name("some_special_name")
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
name: some name
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.name("some name");
-}));
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    name = "some_special_name"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Ignoring Contracts
-
-

If you want to ignore a contract, you can either set a value for ignored contracts in the -plugin configuration or set the ignored property on the contract itself. The following -example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    ignored()
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
ignored: true
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.ignored();
-}));
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    ignored = true
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Contracts in Progress
-
-

A contract in progress will not generate tests on the producer side, but will allow generation of stubs.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Use this feature with caution as it may lead to false positives. You generate stubs for your consumers to use without actually having the implementation in place! -
-
-
-

If you want to set a contract in progress the following -example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    inProgress()
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
inProgress: true
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.inProgress();
-}));
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    inProgress = true
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can set the value of the failOnInProgress Spring Cloud Contract plugin property to ensure that your build will break when at least one contract in progress remains in your sources.

-
-
-
-
Passing Values from Files
-
-

Starting with version 1.2.0, you can pass values from files. Assume that you have the -following resources in your project:

-
-
-
-
└── src
-    └── test
-        └── resources
-            └── contracts
-                ├── readFromFile.groovy
-                ├── request.json
-                └── response.json
-
-
-
-

Further assume that your contract is as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-

-                r.url("/foo");
-                r.method(r.GET());

-            });
-            c.response(r -> {
-                r.status(r.OK());
-                r.body(r.file("response.json"));
-            });
-        }));
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.Companion.contract
-
-contract {
-    request {
-        url = url("/1")
-        method = PUT
-        headers {
-            contentType = APPLICATION_JSON
-        }
-        body = bodyFromFile("request.json")
-    }
-    response {
-        status = OK
-        body = bodyFromFile("response.json")
-        headers {
-            contentType = APPLICATION_JSON
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Further assume that the JSON files is as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
request.json
-
-
{
-  "status": "REQUEST"
-}
-
-
-
-
response.json
-
-
{
-  "status": "RESPONSE"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

When test or stub generation takes place, the contents of the request.json and response.json files are passed to the body -of a request or a response. The name of the file needs to be a file with location -relative to the folder in which the contract lays.

-
-
-

If you need to pass the contents of a file in binary form, -you can use the fileAsBytes method in the coded DSL or a bodyFromFileAsBytes field in YAML.

-
-
-

The following example shows how to pass the contents of binary files:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract
-
-Contract.make {
-    request {
-        url("/1")
-        method(PUT())
-        headers {
-            contentType(applicationOctetStream())
-        }
-        body(fileAsBytes("request.pdf"))
-    }
-    response {
-        status 200
-        body(fileAsBytes("response.pdf"))
-        headers {
-            contentType(applicationOctetStream())
-        }
-    }
-}

-    @Override
-    public Collection<Contract> get() {
-        return Collections.singletonList(Contract.make(c -> {
-            c.request(r -> {

-                r.method(r.PUT());
-                r.body(r.fileAsBytes("request.pdf"));
-                r.headers(h -> {

3.2. Contracts for HTTP

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract lets you verify applications that use REST or HTTP as a -means of communication. Spring Cloud Contract verifies that, for a request that matches the -criteria from the request part of the contract, the server provides a response that is in -keeping with the response part of the contract. Subsequently, the contracts are used to -generate WireMock stubs that, for any request matching the provided criteria, provide a -suitable response.

-
-
-

3.2.1. HTTP Top-Level Elements

-
-

You can call the following methods in the top-level closure of a contract definition:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    request: Mandatory

    -
    • -
  • -

    response : Mandatory

    -
    • -
  • -

    priority: Optional

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The following example shows how to define an HTTP request contract:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    // Definition of HTTP request part of the contract
-    // (this can be a valid request or invalid depending
-    // on type of contract being specified).
-    request {
-        method GET()
-        url "/foo"
-        //...
-    }
-
-    // Definition of HTTP response part of the contract
-    // (a service implementing this contract should respond
-    // with following response after receiving request
-    // specified in "request" part above).
-    response {
-        status 200
-        //...
-    }
-
-    // Contract priority, which can be used for overriding
-    // contracts (1 is highest). Priority is optional.
-    priority 1
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
priority: 8
-request:
-...
-response:
-...
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make(c -> {
-    // Definition of HTTP request part of the contract
-    // (this can be a valid request or invalid depending
-    // on type of contract being specified).
-    c.request(r -> {
-        r.method(r.GET());
-        r.url("/foo");
-        // ...
-    });
-
-    // Definition of HTTP response part of the contract
-    // (a service implementing this contract should respond
-    // with following response after receiving request
-    // specified in "request" part above).
-    c.response(r -> {
-        r.status(200);
-        // ...
-    });
-
-    // Contract priority, which can be used for overriding
-    // contracts (1 is highest). Priority is optional.
-    c.priority(1);
-});
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    // Definition of HTTP request part of the contract
-    // (this can be a valid request or invalid depending
-    // on type of contract being specified).
-    request {
-        method = GET
-        url = url("/foo")
-        // ...
-    }
-
-    // Definition of HTTP response part of the contract
-    // (a service implementing this contract should respond
-    // with following response after receiving request
-    // specified in "request" part above).
-    response {
-        status = OK
-        // ...
-    }
-
-    // Contract priority, which can be used for overriding
-    // contracts (1 is highest). Priority is optional.
-    priority = 1
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you want to make your contract have a higher priority, -you need to pass a lower number to the priority tag or method. For example, a priority with -a value of 5 has higher priority than a priority with a value of 10. -

3.2.2. HTTP Request

-
-

The HTTP protocol requires only the method and the URL to be specified in a request. The -same information is mandatory in request definition of the contract.

-
-
-

The following example shows a contract for a request:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        // HTTP request method (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE).
-        method 'GET'
-
-        // Path component of request URL is specified as follows.
-        urlPath('/users')
-    }
-
-    response {
-        //...
-        status 200
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
method: PUT
-url: /foo
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.request(r -> {
-        // HTTP request method (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE).
-        r.method("GET");
-
-        // Path component of request URL is specified as follows.
-        r.urlPath("/users");
-    });
-
-    c.response(r -> {
-        // ...
-        r.status(200);
-    });
-});
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    request {
-        // HTTP request method (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE).
-        method = method("GET")
-
-        // Path component of request URL is specified as follows.
-        urlPath = path("/users")
-    }
-    response {
-        // ...
-        status = code(200)
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can specify an absolute rather than a relative url, but using urlPath is -the recommended way, as doing so makes the tests be host-independent.

-
-
-

The following example uses url:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'GET'
-
-        // Specifying `url` and `urlPath` in one contract is illegal.
-        url('http://localhost:8888/users')
-    }
-
-    response {
-        //...
-        status 200
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
request:
-  method: PUT
-  urlPath: /foo
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.request(r -> {
-        r.method("GET");
-
-        // Specifying `url` and `urlPath` in one contract is illegal.
-        r.url("http://localhost:8888/users");
-    });
-
-    c.response(r -> {
-        // ...
-        r.status(200);
-    });
-});
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    request {
-        method = GET
-
-        // Specifying `url` and `urlPath` in one contract is illegal.
-        url("http://localhost:8888/users")
-    }
-    response {
-        // ...
-        status = OK
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

request may contain query parameters, as the following example (which uses urlPath) shows:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        //...
-        method GET()
-
-        urlPath('/users') {
-
-            // Each parameter is specified in form
-            // `'paramName' : paramValue` where parameter value
-            // may be a simple literal or one of matcher functions,
-            // all of which are used in this example.
-            queryParameters {
-
-                // If a simple literal is used as value
-                // default matcher function is used (equalTo)
-                parameter 'limit': 100
-
-                // `equalTo` function simply compares passed value
-                // using identity operator (==).
-                parameter 'filter': equalTo("email")
-
-                // `containing` function matches strings
-                // that contains passed substring.
-                parameter 'gender': value(consumer(containing("[mf]")), producer('mf'))
-
-                // `matching` function tests parameter
-                // against passed regular expression.
-                parameter 'offset': value(consumer(matching("[0-9]+")), producer(123))
-
-                // `notMatching` functions tests if parameter
-                // does not match passed regular expression.
-                parameter 'loginStartsWith': value(consumer(notMatching(".{0,2}")), producer(3))
-            }
-        }
-
-        //...
-    }
-
-    response {
-        //...
-        status 200
-    }

-    response {
-        status = OK
-    }

-
-
-
-
-
-

In the preceding example, we define parameters in either of two ways:

-
-
-
Coded DSL
-
    -
  • -

    Directly, by using the map notation, where the value can be a dynamic property (such as -formParameter: $(consumer(…​), producer(…​))).

    -
    • -
  • -

    By using the named(…​) method that lets you set a named parameter. A named parameter -can set a name and content. You can call it either by using a method with two arguments, -such as named("fileName", "fileContent"), or by using a map notation, such as -named(name: "fileName", content: "fileContent").

    -
    • -
-
-
-
YAML
-
    -
  • -

    The multipart parameters are set in the multipart.params section.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The named parameters (the fileName and fileContent for a given parameter name) -can be set in the multipart.named section. That section contains -the paramName (the name of the parameter), fileName (the name of the file), -fileContent (the content of the file) fields.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The dynamic bits can be set via the matchers.multipart section.

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      For parameters, use the params section, which can accept -regex or a predefined regular expression.

      -
      • -
    • -

      for named params, use the named section where first you -define the parameter name with paramName. Then you can pass the -parametrization of either fileName or fileContent in a -regex or in a predefined regular expression.

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -

From the contract in the preceding example, the generated test and stubs look as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
Test
-
-
// given:
-  MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
-    .header("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=AaB03x")
-    .param("formParameter", "\"formParameterValue\"")
-    .param("someBooleanParameter", "true")
-    .multiPart("file", "filename.csv", "file content".getBytes());
-
- // when:
-  ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-    .put("/multipart");
-
- // then:
-  assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);

3.2.3. HTTP Response

-
-

The response must contain an HTTP status code and may contain other information. The -following code shows an example:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        //...
-        method GET()
-        url "/foo"
-    }
-    response {
-        // Status code sent by the server
-        // in response to request specified above.
-        status OK()
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
response:
-...
-status: 200
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.request(r -> {
-        // ...
-        r.method(r.GET());
-        r.url("/foo");
-    });
-    c.response(r -> {
-        // Status code sent by the server
-        // in response to request specified above.
-        r.status(r.OK());
-    });
-});
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    request {
-        // ...
-        method = GET
-        url =url("/foo")
-    }
-    response {
-        // Status code sent by the server
-        // in response to request specified above.
-        status = OK
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Besides status, the response may contain headers, cookies, and a body, which are -specified the same way as in the request (see HTTP Request).

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -In the Groovy DSL, you can reference the org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.internal.HttpStatus -methods to provide a meaningful status instead of a digit. For example, you can call -OK() for a status 200 or BAD_REQUEST() for 400. -
-
-
-
-

3.2.4. Dynamic properties

-
-

The contract can contain some dynamic properties: timestamps, IDs, and so on. You do not -want to force the consumers to stub their clocks to always return the same value of time -so that it gets matched by the stub.

-
-
-

For the Groovy DSL, you can provide the dynamic parts in your contracts -in two ways: pass them directly in the body or set them in a separate section called -bodyMatchers.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Before 2.0.0, these were set by using testMatchers and stubMatchers. -See the migration guide for more information. -
-
-
-

For YAML, you can use only the matchers section.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Entries inside the matchers must reference existing elements of the payload. For more information check this issue. -
-
-
-
Dynamic Properties inside the Body
-
- - - - - -
- - -This section is valid only for the Coded DSL (Groovy, Java etc.). Check out the -Dynamic Properties in the Matchers Sections section for YAML examples of a similar feature. -
-
-
-

You can set the properties inside the body either with the value method or, if you use -the Groovy map notation, with $(). The following example shows how to set dynamic -properties with the value method:

-
-
-
-
-
value
-
-
value(consumer(...), producer(...))
-value(c(...), p(...))
-value(stub(...), test(...))
-value(client(...), server(...))
-
-
-
-
$
-
-
$(consumer(...), producer(...))
-$(c(...), p(...))
-$(stub(...), test(...))
-$(client(...), server(...))
-
-
-
-
-
-

Both approaches work equally well. The stub and client methods are aliases over the consumer -method. Subsequent sections take a closer look at what you can do with those values.

-
-
-
-
Regular Expressions
-
- - - - - -
- - -This section is valid only for Groovy DSL. Check out the -Dynamic Properties in the Matchers Sections section for YAML examples of a similar feature. -
-
-
-

You can use regular expressions to write your requests in the contract DSL. Doing so is -particularly useful when you want to indicate that a given response should be provided -for requests that follow a given pattern. Also, you can use regular expressions when you -need to use patterns and not exact values both for your tests and your server-side tests.

-
-
-

Make sure that regex matches a whole region of a sequence, as, internally, a call to -Pattern.matches() -is called. For instance, abc does not match aabc, but .abc does. -There are several additional known limitations as well.

-
-
-

The following example shows how to use regular expressions to write a request:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method('GET')
-        url $(consumer(~/\/[0-9]{2}/), producer('/12'))
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-        body(
-                id: $(anyNumber()),
-                surname: $(
-                        consumer('Kowalsky'),
-                        producer(regex('[a-zA-Z]+'))
-                ),
-                name: 'Jan',
-                created: $(consumer('2014-02-02 12:23:43'), producer(execute('currentDate(it)'))),
-                correlationId: value(consumer('5d1f9fef-e0dc-4f3d-a7e4-72d2220dd827'),
-                        producer(regex('[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}'))
-                )
-        )
-        headers {
-            header 'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.request(r -> {
-        r.method("GET");
-        r.url(r.$(r.consumer(r.regex("\\/[0-9]{2}")), r.producer("/12")));
-    });
-    c.response(r -> {
-        r.status(r.OK());
-        r.body(ContractVerifierUtil.map().entry("id", r.$(r.anyNumber()))
-                .entry("surname", r.$(r.consumer("Kowalsky"),
-                        r.producer(r.regex("[a-zA-Z]+")))));
-        r.headers(h -> {
-            h.header("Content-Type", "text/plain");
-        });
-    });
-});
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract {
-    request {
-        method = method("GET")
-        url = url(v(consumer(regex("\\/[0-9]{2}")), producer("/12")))
-    }
-    response {
-        status = OK
-        body(mapOf(
-                "id" to v(anyNumber),
-                "surname" to v(consumer("Kowalsky"), producer(regex("[a-zA-Z]+")))
-        ))
-        headers {
-            header("Content-Type", "text/plain")
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can also provide only one side of the communication with a regular expression. If you -do so, then the contract engine automatically provides the generated string that matches -the provided regular expression. The following code shows an example for Groovy:

-
-
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'PUT'
-        url value(consumer(regex('/foo/[0-9]{5}')))
-        body([
-                requestElement: $(consumer(regex('[0-9]{5}')))
-        ])
-        headers {
-            header('header', $(consumer(regex('application\\/vnd\\.fraud\\.v1\\+json;.*'))))
-        }
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-        body([
-                responseElement: $(producer(regex('[0-9]{7}')))
-        ])
-        headers {
-            contentType("application/vnd.fraud.v1+json")
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

In the preceding example, the opposite side of the communication has the respective data -generated for request and response.

-
-
-

Spring Cloud Contract comes with a series of predefined regular expressions that you can -use in your contracts, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
public static RegexProperty onlyAlphaUnicode() {
-    return new RegexProperty(ONLY_ALPHA_UNICODE).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty alphaNumeric() {
-    return new RegexProperty(ALPHA_NUMERIC).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty number() {
-    return new RegexProperty(NUMBER).asDouble();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty positiveInt() {
-    return new RegexProperty(POSITIVE_INT).asInteger();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty anyBoolean() {
-    return new RegexProperty(TRUE_OR_FALSE).asBooleanType();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty anInteger() {
-    return new RegexProperty(INTEGER).asInteger();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty aDouble() {
-    return new RegexProperty(DOUBLE).asDouble();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty ipAddress() {
-    return new RegexProperty(IP_ADDRESS).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty hostname() {
-    return new RegexProperty(HOSTNAME_PATTERN).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty email() {
-    return new RegexProperty(EMAIL).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty url() {
-    return new RegexProperty(URL).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty httpsUrl() {
-    return new RegexProperty(HTTPS_URL).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty uuid() {
-    return new RegexProperty(UUID).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty isoDate() {
-    return new RegexProperty(ANY_DATE).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty isoDateTime() {
-    return new RegexProperty(ANY_DATE_TIME).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty isoTime() {
-    return new RegexProperty(ANY_TIME).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty iso8601WithOffset() {
-    return new RegexProperty(ISO8601_WITH_OFFSET).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty nonEmpty() {
-    return new RegexProperty(NON_EMPTY).asString();
-}
-
-public static RegexProperty nonBlank() {
-    return new RegexProperty(NON_BLANK).asString();
-}
-
-
-
-

In your contract, you can use it as follows (example for the Groovy DSL):

-
-
-
-
Contract dslWithOptionalsInString = Contract.make {
-    priority 1
-    request {
-        method POST()
-        url '/users/password'
-        headers {
-            contentType(applicationJson())
-        }
-        body(
-                email: $(consumer(optional(regex(email()))), producer('abc@abc.com')),
-                callback_url: $(consumer(regex(hostname())), producer('http://partners.com'))
-        )
-    }
-    response {
-        status 404
-        headers {
-            contentType(applicationJson())
-        }
-        body(
-                code: value(consumer("123123"), producer(optional("123123"))),
-                message: "User not found by email = [${value(producer(regex(email())), consumer('not.existing@user.com'))}]"
-        )
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

To make matters even simpler, you can use a set of predefined objects that automatically -assume that you want a regular expression to be passed. -All of those methods start with the any prefix, as follows:

-
-
-
-
T anyAlphaUnicode();
-
-T anyAlphaNumeric();
-
-T anyNumber();
-
-T anyInteger();
-
-T anyPositiveInt();
-
-T anyDouble();
-
-T anyHex();
-
-T aBoolean();
-
-T anyIpAddress();
-
-T anyHostname();
-
-T anyEmail();
-
-T anyUrl();
-
-T anyHttpsUrl();
-
-T anyUuid();
-
-T anyDate();
-
-T anyDateTime();
-
-T anyTime();
-
-T anyIso8601WithOffset();
-
-T anyNonBlankString();
-
-T anyNonEmptyString();
-
-T anyOf(String... values);
-
-
-
-

The following example shows how you can reference those methods:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
Contract contractDsl = Contract.make {
-    name "foo"
-    label 'trigger_event'
-    input {
-        triggeredBy('toString()')
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo 'topic.rateablequote'
-        body([
-                alpha            : $(anyAlphaUnicode()),
-                number           : $(anyNumber()),
-                anInteger        : $(anyInteger()),
-                positiveInt      : $(anyPositiveInt()),
-                aDouble          : $(anyDouble()),
-                aBoolean         : $(aBoolean()),
-                ip               : $(anyIpAddress()),
-                hostname         : $(anyHostname()),
-                email            : $(anyEmail()),
-                url              : $(anyUrl()),
-                httpsUrl         : $(anyHttpsUrl()),
-                uuid             : $(anyUuid()),
-                date             : $(anyDate()),
-                dateTime         : $(anyDateTime()),
-                time             : $(anyTime()),
-                iso8601WithOffset: $(anyIso8601WithOffset()),
-                nonBlankString   : $(anyNonBlankString()),
-                nonEmptyString   : $(anyNonEmptyString()),
-                anyOf            : $(anyOf('foo', 'bar'))

Limitations
-
- - - - - -
- - -Due to certain limitations of the Xeger library that generates a string out of -a regex, do not use the $ and ^ signs in your regex if you rely on automatic -generation. See Issue 899. -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Do not use a LocalDate instance as a value for $ (for example, $(consumer(LocalDate.now()))). -It causes a java.lang.StackOverflowError. Use $(consumer(LocalDate.now().toString())) instead. -See Issue 900. -

Passing Optional Parameters
-
- - - - - -
- - -This section is valid only for Groovy DSL. Check out the -Dynamic Properties in the Matchers Sections section for YAML examples of a similar feature. -
-
-
-

You can provide optional parameters in your contract. However, you can provide -optional parameters only for the following:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    The STUB side of the Request

    -
    • -
  • -

    The TEST side of the Response

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The following example shows how to provide optional parameters:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    priority 1
-    name "optionals"
-    request {
-        method 'POST'
-        url '/users/password'
-        headers {
-            contentType(applicationJson())
-        }
-        body(
-                email: $(consumer(optional(regex(email()))), producer('abc@abc.com')),
-                callback_url: $(consumer(regex(hostname())), producer('https://partners.com'))
-        )
-    }
-    response {
-        status 404
-        headers {
-            header 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
-        }
-        body(
-                code: value(consumer("123123"), producer(optional("123123")))
-        )
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make(c -> {
-    c.priority(1);
-    c.name("optionals");
-    c.request(r -> {
-        r.method("POST");
-        r.url("/users/password");
-        r.headers(h -> {
-            h.contentType(h.applicationJson());
-        });
-        r.body(ContractVerifierUtil.map()
-                .entry("email",
-                        r.$(r.consumer(r.optional(r.regex(r.email()))),
-                                r.producer("abc@abc.com")))
-                .entry("callback_url", r.$(r.consumer(r.regex(r.hostname())),
-                        r.producer("https://partners.com"))));
-    });
-    c.response(r -> {
-        r.status(404);
-        r.headers(h -> {
-            h.header("Content-Type", "application/json");
-        });
-        r.body(ContractVerifierUtil.map().entry("code", r.value(
-                r.consumer("123123"), r.producer(r.optional("123123")))));
-    });
-});
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
contract { c ->
-    priority = 1
-    name = "optionals"
-    request {
-        method = POST
-        url = url("/users/password")
-        headers {
-            contentType = APPLICATION_JSON
-        }
-        body = body(mapOf(
-                "email" to v(consumer(optional(regex(email))), producer("abc@abc.com")),
-                "callback_url" to v(consumer(regex(hostname)), producer("https://partners.com"))
-        ))
-    }
-    response {
-        status = NOT_FOUND
-        headers {
-            header("Content-Type", "application/json")
-        }
-        body(mapOf(
-                "code" to value(consumer("123123"), producer(optional("123123")))
-        ))
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

By wrapping a part of the body with the optional() method, you create a regular -expression that must be present 0 or more times.

-
-
-

If you use Spock, the following test would be generated from the previous example:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
                    """\
-package com.example
-
-import com.jayway.jsonpath.DocumentContext

-class FooSpec extends Specification {
-
-\tdef validate_optionals() throws Exception {
-\t\tgiven:
-\t\t\tMockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
-\t\t\t\t\t.header("Content-Type", "application/json")
-\t\t\t\t\t.body('''{"email":"abc@abc.com","callback_url":"https://partners.com"}''')
-
-\t\twhen:
-\t\t\tResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-\t\t\t\t\t.post("/users/password")
-
-\t\tthen:
-\t\t\tresponse.statusCode() == 404
-\t\t\tresponse.header("Content-Type") == 'application/json'
-
-\t\tand:
-\t\t\tDocumentContext parsedJson = JsonPath.parse(response.body.asString())
-\t\t\tassertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['code']").matches("(123123)?")
-\t}
-
-}
-"""
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following stub would also be generated:

-
-
-
-
                    '''
-{
-  "request" : {
-    "url" : "/users/password",
-    "method" : "POST",
-    "bodyPatterns" : [ {
-      "matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(@.['email'] =~ /([a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6})?/)]"

-    }
-  },
-  "priority" : 1
-}
-'''

-
Executing Custom Methods on the Server Side
-
- - - - - -
- - -This section is valid only for Groovy DSL. Check out the -Dynamic Properties in the Matchers Sections section for YAML examples of a similar feature. -
-
-
-

You can define a method call that runs on the server side during the test. Such a -method can be added to the class defined as baseClassForTests in the configuration. The -following code shows an example of the contract portion of the test case:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
method GET()
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
r.method(r.GET());
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
method = GET
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following code shows the base class portion of the test case:

-
-
-
-
abstract class BaseMockMvcSpec extends Specification {
-
-    def setup() {
-        RestAssuredMockMvc.standaloneSetup(new PairIdController())
-    }
-
-    void isProperCorrelationId(Integer correlationId) {
-        assert correlationId == 123456
-    }
-
-    void isEmpty(String value) {
-        assert value == null
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You cannot use both a String and execute to perform concatenation. For -example, calling header('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + execute('authToken()')) leads to -improper results. Instead, call header('Authorization', execute('authToken()')) and -ensure that the authToken() method returns everything you need. -
-
-
-

The type of the object read from the JSON can be one of the following, depending on the -JSON path:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    String: If you point to a String value in the JSON.

    -
    • -
  • -

    JSONArray: If you point to a List in the JSON.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Map: If you point to a Map in the JSON.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Number: If you point to Integer, Double, and other numeric type in the JSON.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Boolean: If you point to a Boolean in the JSON.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

In the request part of the contract, you can specify that the body should be taken from -a method.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You must provide both the consumer and the producer side. The execute part -is applied for the whole body, not for parts of it. -
-
-
-

The following example shows how to read an object from JSON:

-
-
-
-
Contract contractDsl = Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'GET'
-        url '/something'
-        body(
-                $(c('foo'), p(execute('hashCode()')))
-        )
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

The preceding example results in calling the hashCode() method in the request body. -It should resemble the following code:

-
-
-
-
// given:
- MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
-   .body(hashCode());
-
-// when:
- ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-   .get("/something");
-
-// then:
- assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);
-
-
-
-
-
Referencing the Request from the Response
-
-

The best situation is to provide fixed values, but sometimes you need to reference a -request in your response.

-
-
-

If you write contracts in the Groovy DSL, you can use the fromRequest() method, which lets -you reference a bunch of elements from the HTTP request. You can use the following -options:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    fromRequest().url(): Returns the request URL and query parameters.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().query(String key): Returns the first query parameter with a given name.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().query(String key, int index): Returns the nth query parameter with a -given name.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().path(): Returns the full path.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().path(int index): Returns the nth path element.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().header(String key): Returns the first header with a given name.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().header(String key, int index): Returns the nth header with a given name.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().body(): Returns the full request body.

    -
    • -
  • -

    fromRequest().body(String jsonPath): Returns the element from the request that -matches the JSON Path.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

If you use the YAML contract definition or the Java one, you have to use the -Handlebars {{{ }}} notation with custom Spring Cloud Contract -functions to achieve this. In that case, you can use the following options:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    {{{ request.url }}}: Returns the request URL and query parameters.

    -
    • -
  • -

    {{{ request.query.key.[index] }}}: Returns the nth query parameter with a given name. -For example, for a key of thing, the first entry is {{{ request.query.thing.[0] }}}

    -
    • -
  • -

    {{{ request.path }}}: Returns the full path.

    -
    • -
  • -

    {{{ request.path.[index] }}}: Returns the nth path element. For example, -the first entry is `{{{ request.path.[0] }}}

    -
    • -
  • -

    {{{ request.headers.key }}}: Returns the first header with a given name.

    -
    • -
  • -

    {{{ request.headers.key.[index] }}}: Returns the nth header with a given name.

    -
    • -
  • -

    {{{ request.body }}}: Returns the full request body.

    -
    • -
  • -

    {{{ jsonpath this 'your.json.path' }}}: Returns the element from the request that -matches the JSON Path. For example, for a JSON path of $.here, use {{{ jsonpath this '$.here' }}}

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Consider the following contract:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
Contract contractDsl = Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'GET'
-        url('/api/v1/xxxx') {
-            queryParameters {
-                parameter('foo', 'bar')
-                parameter('foo', 'bar2')
-            }
-        }
-        headers {
-            header(authorization(), 'secret')
-            header(authorization(), 'secret2')
-        }
-        body(foo: 'bar', baz: 5)
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-        headers {
-            header(authorization(), "foo ${fromRequest().header(authorization())} bar")
-        }
-        body(
-                url: fromRequest().url(),
-                path: fromRequest().path(),
-                pathIndex: fromRequest().path(1),
-                param: fromRequest().query('foo'),
-                paramIndex: fromRequest().query('foo', 1),
-                authorization: fromRequest().header('Authorization'),

-                rawParamIndex: fromRequest().rawQuery('foo', 1),
-                rawAuthorization: fromRequest().rawHeader('Authorization'),
-                rawAuthorization2: fromRequest().rawHeader('Authorization', 1),
-                rawResponseFoo: fromRequest().rawBody('$.foo'),
-                rawResponseBaz: fromRequest().rawBody('$.baz'),
-                rawResponseBaz2: "Bla bla ${fromRequest().rawBody('$.foo')} bla bla"
-        )

-        status = OK
-        body(mapOf(
-            "text" to "Don't worry ${fromRequest().body("$.name")} thanks for your interested in drinking beer",
-            "quantity" to v(c(5), p(anyNumber))
-        ))
-        headers {
-            contentType = fromRequest().header(CONTENT_TYPE)
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Running a JUnit test generation leads to a test that resembles the following example:

-
-
-
-
// given:
- MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
-   .header("Authorization", "secret")
-   .header("Authorization", "secret2")
-   .body("{\"foo\":\"bar\",\"baz\":5}");
-
-// when:
- ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-   .queryParam("foo","bar")
-   .queryParam("foo","bar2")
-   .get("/api/v1/xxxx");
-
-// then:
- assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);
- assertThat(response.header("Authorization")).isEqualTo("foo secret bar");
-// and:
- DocumentContext parsedJson = JsonPath.parse(response.getBody().asString());
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['fullBody']").isEqualTo("{\"foo\":\"bar\",\"baz\":5}");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['authorization']").isEqualTo("secret");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['authorization2']").isEqualTo("secret2");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['path']").isEqualTo("/api/v1/xxxx");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['param']").isEqualTo("bar");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['paramIndex']").isEqualTo("bar2");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['pathIndex']").isEqualTo("v1");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['responseBaz']").isEqualTo(5);
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['responseFoo']").isEqualTo("bar");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['url']").isEqualTo("/api/v1/xxxx?foo=bar&foo=bar2");
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['responseBaz2']").isEqualTo("Bla bla bar bla bla");
-
-
-
-

As you can see, elements from the request have been properly referenced in the response.

-
-
-

The generated WireMock stub should resemble the following example:

-
-
-
-
{
-  "request" : {
-    "urlPath" : "/api/v1/xxxx",
-    "method" : "POST",
-    "headers" : {
-      "Authorization" : {
-        "equalTo" : "secret2"
-      }
-    },
-    "queryParameters" : {
-      "foo" : {
-        "equalTo" : "bar2"
-      }
-    },
-    "bodyPatterns" : [ {
-      "matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(@.['baz'] == 5)]"
-    }, {
-      "matchesJsonPath" : "$[?(@.['foo'] == 'bar')]"
-    } ]
-  },
-  "response" : {
-    "status" : 200,
-    "body" : "{\"authorization\":\"{{{request.headers.Authorization.[0]}}}\",\"path\":\"{{{request.path}}}\",\"responseBaz\":{{{jsonpath this '$.baz'}}} ,\"param\":\"{{{request.query.foo.[0]}}}\",\"pathIndex\":\"{{{request.path.[1]}}}\",\"responseBaz2\":\"Bla bla {{{jsonpath this '$.foo'}}} bla bla\",\"responseFoo\":\"{{{jsonpath this '$.foo'}}}\",\"authorization2\":\"{{{request.headers.Authorization.[1]}}}\",\"fullBody\":\"{{{escapejsonbody}}}\",\"url\":\"{{{request.url}}}\",\"paramIndex\":\"{{{request.query.foo.[1]}}}\"}",
-    "headers" : {
-      "Authorization" : "{{{request.headers.Authorization.[0]}}};foo"
-    },
-    "transformers" : [ "response-template" ]
-  }
-}
-
-
-
-

Sending a request such as the one presented in the request part of the contract results -in sending the following response body:

-
-
-
-
{
-  "url" : "/api/v1/xxxx?foo=bar&foo=bar2",
-  "path" : "/api/v1/xxxx",
-  "pathIndex" : "v1",
-  "param" : "bar",
-  "paramIndex" : "bar2",
-  "authorization" : "secret",
-  "authorization2" : "secret2",
-  "fullBody" : "{\"foo\":\"bar\",\"baz\":5}",
-  "responseFoo" : "bar",
-  "responseBaz" : 5,
-  "responseBaz2" : "Bla bla bar bla bla"
-}

- - -This feature works only with WireMock versions greater than or equal -to 2.5.1. The Spring Cloud Contract Verifier uses WireMock’s -response-template response transformer. It uses Handlebars to convert the Mustache {{{ }}} templates into -proper values. Additionally, it registers two helper functions: -
-
-
-
    -
  • -

    escapejsonbody: Escapes the request body in a format that can be embedded in a JSON.

    -
    • -
  • -

    jsonpath: For a given parameter, find an object in the request body.

Dynamic Properties in the Matchers Sections
-
-

If you work with Pact, the following discussion may seem familiar. -Quite a few users are used to having a separation between the body and setting the -dynamic parts of a contract.

-
-
-

You can use the bodyMatchers section for two reasons:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Define the dynamic values that should end up in a stub. -You can set it in the request or inputMessage part of your contract.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Verify the result of your test. -This section is present in the response or outputMessage side of the -contract.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Currently, Spring Cloud Contract Verifier supports only JSON path-based matchers with the -following matching possibilities:

-
-
-
Coded DSL
-
-
    -
  • -

    For the stubs (in tests on the consumer’s side):

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      byEquality(): The value taken from the consumer’s request in the provided JSON path must be -equal to the value provided in the contract.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byRegex(…​): The value taken from the consumer’s request in the provided JSON path must -match the regex. You can also pass the type of the expected matched value (for example, asString(), asLong(), and so on).

      -
      • -
    • -

      byDate(): The value taken from the consumer’s request in the provided JSON path must -match the regex for an ISO Date value.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byTimestamp(): The value taken from the consumer’s request in the provided JSON path must -match the regex for an ISO DateTime value.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byTime(): The value taken from the consumer’s request in the provided JSON path must -match the regex for an ISO Time value.

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
  • -

    For the verification (in generated tests on the Producer’s side):

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      byEquality(): The value taken from the producer’s response in the provided JSON path must be -equal to the provided value in the contract.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byRegex(…​): The value taken from the producer’s response in the provided JSON path must -match the regex.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byDate(): The value taken from the producer’s response in the provided JSON path must match -the regex for an ISO Date value.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byTimestamp(): The value taken from the producer’s response in the provided JSON path must -match the regex for an ISO DateTime value.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byTime(): The value taken from the producer’s response in the provided JSON path must match -the regex for an ISO Time value.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byType(): The value taken from the producer’s response in the provided JSON path needs to be -of the same type as the type defined in the body of the response in the contract. -byType can take a closure, in which you can set minOccurrence and maxOccurrence. For the -request side, you should use the closure to assert size of the collection. -That way, you can assert the size of the flattened collection. To check the size of an -unflattened collection, use a custom method with the byCommand(…​) testMatcher.

      -
      • -
    • -

      byCommand(…​): The value taken from the producer’s response in the provided JSON path is -passed as an input to the custom method that you provide. For example, -byCommand('thing($it)') results in calling a thing method to which the value matching the -JSON Path gets passed. The type of the object read from the JSON can be one of the -following, depending on the JSON path:

      -
      -
        -
      • -

        String: If you point to a String value.

        -
        • -
      • -

        JSONArray: If you point to a List.

        -
        • -
      • -

        Map: If you point to a Map.

        -
        • -
      • -

        Number: If you point to Integer, Double, or another kind of number.

        -
        • -
      • -

        Boolean: If you point to a Boolean.

        -
        • -
      -
      -
      • -
    • -

      byNull(): The value taken from the response in the provided JSON path must be null.

YAML
-
- - - - - -
- - -See the Groovy section for detailed explanation of -what the types mean. -
-
-
-

For YAML, the structure of a matcher resembles the following example:

-
-
-
-
- path: $.thing1
-  type: by_regex
-  value: thing2
-  regexType: as_string
-
-
-
-

Alternatively, if you want to use one of the predefined regular expressions -[only_alpha_unicode, number, any_boolean, ip_address, hostname, -email, url, uuid, iso_date, iso_date_time, iso_time, iso_8601_with_offset, non_empty, -non_blank], you can use something similar to the following example:

-
-
-
-
- path: $.thing1
-  type: by_regex
-  predefined: only_alpha_unicode
-
-
-
-

The following list shows the allowed list of type values:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    For stubMatchers:

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      by_equality

      -
      • -
    • -

      by_regex

      by_time

      -
      • -
    • -

      by_type

      -
      -
        -
      • -

        Two additional fields (minOccurrence and maxOccurrence) are accepted.

        -
        • -
      -
      -
      • -
    -
    -

    For testMatchers:

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      by_equality

      -
      • -
    • -

      by_regex

      • -
    • -

      by_type

      -
      -
        -
      • -

        Two additional fields (minOccurrence and maxOccurrence) are accepted.

        -

    • -

      by_null

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
-
-

You can also define which type the regular expression corresponds to in the regexType -field. The following list shows the allowed regular expression types:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    as_integer

    -
    • -
  • -

In the preceding example, you can see the dynamic portions of the contract in the -matchers sections. For the request part, you can see that, for all fields but -valueWithoutAMatcher, the values of the regular expressions that the stub should -contain are explicitly set. For the valueWithoutAMatcher, the verification takes place -in the same way as without the use of matchers. In that case, the test performs an -equality check.

-
-
-

For the response side in the bodyMatchers section, we define the dynamic parts in a -similar manner. The only difference is that the byType matchers are also present. The -verifier engine checks four fields to verify whether the response from the test -has a value for which the JSON path matches the given field, is of the same type as the one -defined in the response body, and passes the following check (based on the method being called):

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    For $.valueWithTypeMatch, the engine checks whether the type is the same.

    -
    • -
  • -

    For $.valueWithMin, the engine checks the type and asserts whether the size is greater -than or equal to the minimum occurrence.

    -
    • -
  • -

    For $.valueWithMax, the engine checks the type and asserts whether the size is -smaller than or equal to the maximum occurrence.

    -
    • -
  • -

    For $.valueWithMinMax, the engine checks the type and asserts whether the size is -between the minimum and maximum occurrence.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The resulting test resembles the following example (note that an and section -separates the autogenerated assertions and the assertion from matchers):

-
-
-
-
// given:
- MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
-   .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
-   .body("{\"duck\":123,\"alpha\":\"abc\",\"number\":123,\"aBoolean\":true,\"date\":\"2017-01-01\",\"dateTime\":\"2017-01-01T01:23:45\",\"time\":\"01:02:34\",\"valueWithoutAMatcher\":\"foo\",\"valueWithTypeMatch\":\"string\",\"key\":{\"complex.key\":\"foo\"}}");
-
-// when:
- ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-   .get("/get");
-
-// then:
- assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);
- assertThat(response.header("Content-Type")).matches("application/json.*");
-// and:
- DocumentContext parsedJson = JsonPath.parse(response.getBody().asString());
- assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['valueWithoutAMatcher']").isEqualTo("foo");
-// and:
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.duck", String.class)).matches("[0-9]{3}");
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.duck", Integer.class)).isEqualTo(123);
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.alpha", String.class)).matches("[\\p{L}]*");
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.alpha", String.class)).isEqualTo("abc");
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.number", String.class)).matches("-?(\\d*\\.\\d+|\\d+)");
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.aBoolean", String.class)).matches("(true|false)");
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.date", String.class)).matches("(\\d\\d\\d\\d)-(0[1-9]|1[012])-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])");
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.dateTime", String.class)).matches("([0-9]{4})-(1[0-2]|0[1-9])-(3[01]|0[1-9]|[12][0-9])T(2[0-3]|[01][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])");
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.time", String.class)).matches("(2[0-3]|[01][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])");
- assertThat((Object) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithTypeMatch")).isInstanceOf(java.lang.String.class);
- assertThat((Object) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMin")).isInstanceOf(java.util.List.class);
- assertThat((java.lang.Iterable) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMin", java.util.Collection.class)).as("$.valueWithMin").hasSizeGreaterThanOrEqualTo(1);
- assertThat((Object) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMax")).isInstanceOf(java.util.List.class);
- assertThat((java.lang.Iterable) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMax", java.util.Collection.class)).as("$.valueWithMax").hasSizeLessThanOrEqualTo(3);
- assertThat((Object) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMinMax")).isInstanceOf(java.util.List.class);
- assertThat((java.lang.Iterable) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMinMax", java.util.Collection.class)).as("$.valueWithMinMax").hasSizeBetween(1, 3);
- assertThat((Object) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMinEmpty")).isInstanceOf(java.util.List.class);
- assertThat((java.lang.Iterable) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMinEmpty", java.util.Collection.class)).as("$.valueWithMinEmpty").hasSizeGreaterThanOrEqualTo(0);
- assertThat((Object) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMaxEmpty")).isInstanceOf(java.util.List.class);
- assertThat((java.lang.Iterable) parsedJson.read("$.valueWithMaxEmpty", java.util.Collection.class)).as("$.valueWithMaxEmpty").hasSizeLessThanOrEqualTo(0);
- assertThatValueIsANumber(parsedJson.read("$.duck"));
- assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.['key'].['complex.key']", String.class)).isEqualTo("foo");
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Notice that, for the byCommand method, the example calls the -assertThatValueIsANumber. This method must be defined in the test base class or be -statically imported to your tests. Notice that the byCommand call was converted to -assertThatValueIsANumber(parsedJson.read("$.duck"));. That means that the engine took -the method name and passed the proper JSON path as a parameter to it. -
-
-
-

The resulting WireMock stub is in the following example:

-'''
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you use a matcher, the part of the request and response that the -matcher addresses with the JSON Path gets removed from the assertion. In the case of -verifying a collection, you must create matchers for all the elements of the -collection. -
-
-
-

Consider the following example:

-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'GET'
-        url("/foo")
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-        body(events: [[
-                                 operation          : 'EXPORT',
-                                 eventId            : '16f1ed75-0bcc-4f0d-a04d-3121798faf99',
-                                 status             : 'OK'
-                         ], [
-                                 operation          : 'INPUT_PROCESSING',
-                                 eventId            : '3bb4ac82-6652-462f-b6d1-75e424a0024a',
-                                 status             : 'OK'
-                         ]
-                ]
-        )
-        bodyMatchers {
-            jsonPath('$.events[0].operation', byRegex('.+'))
-            jsonPath('$.events[0].eventId', byRegex('^([a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12})$'))
-            jsonPath('$.events[0].status', byRegex('.+'))
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

The preceding code leads to creating the following test (the code block shows only the assertion section):

-
-
-
-
and:
-    DocumentContext parsedJson = JsonPath.parse(response.body.asString())
-    assertThatJson(parsedJson).array("['events']").contains("['eventId']").isEqualTo("16f1ed75-0bcc-4f0d-a04d-3121798faf99")
-    assertThatJson(parsedJson).array("['events']").contains("['operation']").isEqualTo("EXPORT")
-    assertThatJson(parsedJson).array("['events']").contains("['operation']").isEqualTo("INPUT_PROCESSING")
-    assertThatJson(parsedJson).array("['events']").contains("['eventId']").isEqualTo("3bb4ac82-6652-462f-b6d1-75e424a0024a")
-    assertThatJson(parsedJson).array("['events']").contains("['status']").isEqualTo("OK")
-and:
-    assertThat(parsedJson.read("\$.events[0].operation", String.class)).matches(".+")
-    assertThat(parsedJson.read("\$.events[0].eventId", String.class)).matches("^([a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12})\$")
-    assertThat(parsedJson.read("\$.events[0].status", String.class)).matches(".+")
-
-
-
-

As you can see, the assertion is malformed. Only the first element of the array got -asserted. In order to fix this, you should apply the assertion to the whole $.events -collection and assert it with the byCommand(…​) method.

-
-
-
-
-
-

3.2.5. Asynchronous Support

-
-

If you use asynchronous communication on the server side (your controllers are -returning Callable, DeferredResult, and so on), then, inside your contract, you must -provide an async() method in the response section. The following code shows an example:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method GET()
-        url '/get'
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-        body 'Passed'
-        async()
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
response:
-    async: true
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
class contract implements Supplier<Collection<Contract>> {
-
-    @Override
-    public Collection<Contract> get() {
-        return Collections.singletonList(Contract.make(c -> {
-            c.request(r -> {
-                // ...
-            });
-            c.response(r -> {
-                r.async();
-                // ...
-            });
-        }));
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.Companion.contract
-
-contract {
-    request {
-        // ...
-    }
-    response {
-        async = true
-        // ...
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can also use the fixedDelayMilliseconds method or property to add delay to your stubs. -The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method GET()
-        url '/get'
-    }
-    response {
-        status 200
-        body 'Passed'
-        fixedDelayMilliseconds 1000
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
response:
-    fixedDelayMilliseconds: 1000
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
class contract implements Supplier<Collection<Contract>> {
-
-    @Override
-    public Collection<Contract> get() {
-        return Collections.singletonList(Contract.make(c -> {
-            c.request(r -> {
-                // ...
-            });
-            c.response(r -> {
-                r.fixedDelayMilliseconds(1000);
-                // ...
-            });
-        }));
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.Companion.contract
-
-contract {
-    request {
-        // ...
-    }
-    response {
-        delay = fixedMilliseconds(1000)
-        // ...
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.2.6. XML Support for HTTP

-
-

For HTTP contracts, we also support using XML in the request and response body. -The XML body has to be passed within the body element -as a String or GString. Also, body matchers can be provided for -both the request and the response. In place of the jsonPath(…​) method, the org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.internal.BodyMatchers.xPath -method should be used, with the desired xPath provided as the first argument -and the appropriate MatchingType as second. All the body matchers apart from byType() are supported.

-
-
-

The following example shows a Groovy DSL contract with XML in the response body:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
                    Contract.make {
-                        request {
-                            method GET()
-                            urlPath '/get'
-                            headers {
-                                contentType(applicationXml())

3.2.7. Multiple Contracts in One File

-
-

You can define multiple contracts in one file. Such a contract might resemble the -following example:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract
-
-[
-    Contract.make {
-        name("should post a user")
-        request {
-            method 'POST'
-            url('/users/1')
-        }
-        response {
-            status OK()
-        }
-    },
-    Contract.make {
-        request {
-            method 'POST'
-            url('/users/2')
-        }
-        response {
-            status OK()
-        }
-    }
-]
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
---
-name: should post a user
-request:
-  method: POST
-  url: /users/1
-response:
-  status: 200
----
-request:
-  method: POST
-  url: /users/2
-response:
-  status: 200
----
-request:
-  method: POST
-  url: /users/3
-response:
-  status: 200
-
-
-
-
java
-
-
class contract implements Supplier<Collection<Contract>> {
-
-    @Override
-    public Collection<Contract> get() {
-        return Arrays.asList(
-            Contract.make(c -> {
-                c.name("should post a user");
-                // ...
-            }), Contract.make(c -> {
-                // ...
-            }), Contract.make(c -> {
-                // ...
-            })
-        );
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
kotlin
-
-
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.Companion.contract
-
-arrayOf(
-    contract {
-        name("should post a user")
-        // ...
-    },
-    contract {
-        // ...
-    },
-    contract {
-        // ...
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

In the preceding example, one contract has the name field and the other does not. This -leads to generation of two tests that look more or less like the following:

-
-
-
-
package org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.tests.com.hello;
-
-import com.example.TestBase;
-import com.jayway.jsonpath.DocumentContext;
-import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath;
-import com.jayway.restassured.module.mockmvc.specification.MockMvcRequestSpecification;
-import com.jayway.restassured.response.ResponseOptions;
-import org.junit.Test;
-
-import static com.jayway.restassured.module.mockmvc.RestAssuredMockMvc.*;
-import static com.toomuchcoding.jsonassert.JsonAssertion.assertThatJson;
-import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;
-
-public class V1Test extends TestBase {
-
-    @Test
-    public void validate_should_post_a_user() throws Exception {
-        // given:
-            MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given();
-
-        // when:
-            ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-                    .post("/users/1");
-
-        // then:
-            assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);
-    }
-
-    @Test
-    public void validate_withList_1() throws Exception {
-        // given:
-            MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given();
-
-        // when:
-            ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-                    .post("/users/2");
-
-        // then:
-            assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-

Notice that, for the contract that has the name field, the generated test method is named -validate_should_post_a_user. The one that does not have the name field is called -validate_withList_1. It corresponds to the name of the file WithList.groovy and the -index of the contract in the list.

-
-
-

The generated stubs are shown in the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
should post a user.json
-1_WithList.json
-
-
-
-
-
-

The first file got the name parameter from the contract. The second -got the name of the contract file (WithList.groovy) prefixed with the index (in this -case, the contract had an index of 1 in the list of contracts in the file).

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -It is much better to name your contracts, because doing so makes -your tests far more meaningful. -
-
-
-
-

3.2.8. Stateful Contracts

-
-

Stateful contracts (known also as scenarios) are contract definitions that should be read -in order. This might be useful in the following situations:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    You want to execute the contract in a precisely defined order, since you use Spring -Cloud Contract to test your stateful application

    -
    • -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -We really discourage you from doing that, since contract tests should be stateless. -
-
-
-
    -
  • -

    You want the same endpoint to return different results for the same request.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

To create stateful contracts (or scenarios), you need to -use the proper naming convention while creating your contracts. The convention -requires including an order number followed by an underscore. This works regardless -of whether you work with YAML or Groovy. The following listing shows an example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
my_contracts_dir\
-  scenario1\
-    1_login.groovy
-    2_showCart.groovy
-    3_logout.groovy
-
-
-
-
-
-

Such a tree causes Spring Cloud Contract Verifier to generate WireMock’s scenario with a -name of scenario1 and the three following steps:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    login, marked as Started pointing to…​

    -
    2. -
  2. -

    showCart, marked as Step1 pointing to…​

    -
    3. -
  3. -

    logout, marked as Step2 (which closes the scenario).

    -
    4. -
-
-
-

You can find more details about WireMock scenarios at -https://wiremock.org/docs/stateful-behaviour/.

-
-
-
-
-

3.3. Integrations

-
-

3.3.1. JAX-RS

-
-

The Spring Cloud Contract supports the JAX-RS 2 Client API. The base class needs -to define protected WebTarget webTarget and server initialization. The only option for -testing JAX-RS API is to start a web server. Also, a request with a body needs to have a -content type be set. Otherwise, the default of application/octet-stream gets used.

-
-
-

In order to use JAX-RS mode, use the following settings:

-
-
-
-
testMode = 'JAXRSCLIENT'
-
-
-
-

The following example shows a generated test API:

-
-
-
-
                    """\
-package com.example;
-
-import com.jayway.jsonpath.DocumentContext;
-import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath;
-import org.junit.Test;
-import org.junit.Rule;
-import javax.ws.rs.client.Entity;
-import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
-
-import static org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.assertion.SpringCloudContractAssertions.assertThat;
-import static org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.util.ContractVerifierUtil.*;
-import static com.toomuchcoding.jsonassert.JsonAssertion.assertThatJson;
-import static javax.ws.rs.client.Entity.*;
-
-@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
-public class FooTest {
-\tWebTarget webTarget;
-
-\t@Test
-\tpublic void validate_() throws Exception {
-
-\t\t// when:
-\t\t\tResponse response = webTarget
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.path("/users")
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.queryParam("limit", "10")
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.queryParam("offset", "20")

-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.queryParam("search", "55")
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.queryParam("age", "99")
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.queryParam("name", "Denis.Stepanov")
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.queryParam("email", "bob@email.com")
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.request()
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.build("GET")
-\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.invoke();
-\t\t\tString responseAsString = response.readEntity(String.class);
-
-\t\t// then:
-\t\t\tassertThat(response.getStatus()).isEqualTo(200);
-
-\t\t// and:
-\t\t\tDocumentContext parsedJson = JsonPath.parse(responseAsString);
-\t\t\tassertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['property1']").isEqualTo("a");
-\t}

3.3.2. WebFlux with WebTestClient

-
-

You can work with WebFlux by using WebTestClient. The following listing shows how to -configure WebTestClient as the test mode:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <testMode>WEBTESTCLIENT</testMode>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
contracts {
-        testMode = 'WEBTESTCLIENT'
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following example shows how to set up a WebTestClient base class and RestAssured -for WebFlux:

-
-
-
-
import io.restassured.module.webtestclient.RestAssuredWebTestClient;
-import org.junit.Before;
-
-public abstract class BeerRestBase {
-
-    @Before
-    public void setup() {
-        RestAssuredWebTestClient.standaloneSetup(
-        new ProducerController(personToCheck -> personToCheck.age >= 20));
-    }
-}
-}
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -The WebTestClient mode is faster than the EXPLICIT mode. -
-
-
-
-

3.3.3. WebFlux with Explicit Mode

-
-

You can also use WebFlux with the explicit mode in your generated tests -to work with WebFlux. The following example shows how to configure using explicit mode:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <testMode>EXPLICIT</testMode>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
contracts {
-        testMode = 'EXPLICIT'
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following example shows how to set up a base class and RestAssured for Web Flux:

-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest(classes = BeerRestBase.Config.class,
-        webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT,
-        properties = "server.port=0")
-public abstract class BeerRestBase {
-
-    // your tests go here
-
-    // in this config class you define all controllers and mocked services
-@Configuration
-@EnableAutoConfiguration
-static class Config {
-
-    @Bean
-    PersonCheckingService personCheckingService()  {
-        return personToCheck -> personToCheck.age >= 20;
-    }
-
-    @Bean
-    ProducerController producerController() {
-        return new ProducerController(personCheckingService());
-    }
-}
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-

3.3.4. Working with Context Paths

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract supports context paths.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -
-

The only change needed to fully support context paths is the switch on the -producer side. Also, the autogenerated tests must use explicit mode. The consumer -side remains untouched. In order for the generated test to pass, you must use explicit -mode. The following example shows how to set the test mode to EXPLICIT:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <testMode>EXPLICIT</testMode>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
contracts {
-        testMode = 'EXPLICIT'
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

That way, you generate a test that does not use MockMvc. It means that you generate -real requests and you need to set up your generated test’s base class to work on a real -socket.

-
-
-

Consider the following contract:

-
-
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'GET'
-        url '/my-context-path/url'
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

The following example shows how to set up a base class and RestAssured:

-
-
-
-
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
-import org.junit.Before;
-import org.springframework.boot.web.server.LocalServerPort;
-import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
-
-@SpringBootTest(classes = ContextPathTestingBaseClass.class, webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
-class ContextPathTestingBaseClass {
-
-    @LocalServerPort int port;
-
-    @Before
-    public void setup() {
-        RestAssured.baseURI = "http://localhost";
-        RestAssured.port = this.port;
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

If you do it this way:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    All of your requests in the autogenerated tests are sent to the real endpoint with your -context path included (for example, /my-context-path/url).

    -
    • -
  • -

    Your contracts reflect that you have a context path. Your generated stubs also have -that information (for example, in the stubs, you have to call /my-context-path/url).

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

3.3.5. Working with REST Docs

-
-

You can use Spring REST Docs to generate -documentation (for example, in Asciidoc format) for an HTTP API with Spring MockMvc, -WebTestClient, or RestAssured. At the same time that you generate documentation for your API, you can also -generate WireMock stubs by using Spring Cloud Contract WireMock. To do so, write your -normal REST Docs test cases and use @AutoConfigureRestDocs to have stubs be -automatically generated in the REST Docs output directory.

-
-
-
-rest docs -
-
-
-

The following example uses MockMvc:

-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest
-@AutoConfigureRestDocs(outputDir = "target/snippets")
-@AutoConfigureMockMvc
-public class ApplicationTests {
-
-    @Autowired
-    private MockMvc mockMvc;
-
-    @Test
-    public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-        mockMvc.perform(get("/resource"))
-                .andExpect(content().string("Hello World"))
-                .andDo(document("resource"));
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

This test generates a WireMock stub at target/snippets/stubs/resource.json. It matches -all GET requests to the /resource path. The same example with WebTestClient (used -for testing Spring WebFlux applications) would be as follows:

-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest
-@AutoConfigureRestDocs(outputDir = "target/snippets")
-@AutoConfigureWebTestClient
-public class ApplicationTests {
-
-    @Autowired
-    private WebTestClient client;
-
-    @Test
-    public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-        client.get().uri("/resource").exchange()
-                .expectBody(String.class).isEqualTo("Hello World")
-                .consumeWith(document("resource"));
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-

Without any additional configuration, these tests create a stub with a request matcher -for the HTTP method and all headers except host and content-length. To match the -request more precisely (for example, to match the body of a POST or PUT), we need to -explicitly create a request matcher. Doing so has two effects:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Creating a stub that matches only in the way you specify.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Asserting that the request in the test case also matches the same conditions.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The main entry point for this feature is WireMockRestDocs.verify(), which can be used -as a substitute for the document() convenience method, as the following -example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
import static org.springframework.cloud.contract.wiremock.restdocs.WireMockRestDocs.verify;
-
-@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest
-@AutoConfigureRestDocs(outputDir = "target/snippets")
-@AutoConfigureMockMvc
-public class ApplicationTests {
-
-    @Autowired
-    private MockMvc mockMvc;
-
-    @Test
-    public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-        mockMvc.perform(post("/resource")
-                .content("{\"id\":\"123456\",\"message\":\"Hello World\"}"))
-                .andExpect(status().isOk())
-                .andDo(verify().jsonPath("$.id")
-                .andDo(document("resource"));
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The preceding contract specifies that any valid POST with an id field receives the response -defined in this test. You can chain together calls to .jsonPath() to add additional -matchers. If JSON Path is unfamiliar, the JayWay -documentation can help you get up to speed. The WebTestClient version of this test -has a similar verify() static helper that you insert in the same place.

-
-
-

Instead of the jsonPath and contentType convenience methods, you can also use the -WireMock APIs to verify that the request matches the created stub, as the -following example shows:

-
-
-
-
@Test
-public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-    mockMvc.perform(post("/resource")
-            .content("{\"id\":\"123456\",\"message\":\"Hello World\"}"))
-            .andExpect(status().isOk())
-            .andDo(verify()
-                    .wiremock(WireMock.post(
-                        urlPathEquals("/resource"))
-                        .withRequestBody(matchingJsonPath("$.id"))
-                        .andDo(document("post-resource"));
-}
-
-
-
-

The WireMock API is rich. You can match headers, query parameters, and the request body by -regex as well as by JSON path. You can use these features to create stubs with a wider -range of parameters. The preceding example generates a stub resembling the following example:

-
-
-
post-resource.json
-
-
{
-  "request" : {
-    "url" : "/resource",
-    "method" : "POST",
-    "bodyPatterns" : [ {
-      "matchesJsonPath" : "$.id"
-    }]
-  },
-  "response" : {
-    "status" : 200,
-    "body" : "Hello World",
-    "headers" : {
-      "X-Application-Context" : "application:-1",
-      "Content-Type" : "text/plain"
-    }
-  }
-}
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You can use either the wiremock() method or the jsonPath() and contentType() -methods to create request matchers, but you cannot use both approaches. -
-
-
-

On the consumer side, you can make the resource.json generated earlier in this section -available on the classpath (by -Publishing Stubs as JARs, for example). After that, you can create a stub that uses WireMock in a -number of different ways, including by using -@AutoConfigureWireMock(stubs="classpath:resource.json"), as described earlier in this -document.

-
-
-
Generating Contracts with REST Docs
-
-

You can also generate Spring Cloud Contract DSL files and documentation with Spring REST -Docs. If you do so in combination with Spring Cloud WireMock, you get both the contracts -and the stubs.

-
-
-

Why would you want to use this feature? Some people in the community asked questions -about a situation in which they would like to move to DSL-based contract definition, -but they already have a lot of Spring MVC tests. Using this feature lets you generate -the contract files that you can later modify and move to folders (defined in your -configuration) so that the plugin finds them.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You might wonder why this functionality is in the WireMock module. The functionality -is there because it makes sense to generate both the contracts and the stubs. -
-
-
-

Consider the following test:

-
-
-
-
-
-
        this.mockMvc
-                .perform(post("/foo").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_PDF)
-                        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
-                        .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
-                        .content("{\"foo\": 23, \"bar\" : \"baz\" }"))
-                .andExpect(status().isOk()).andExpect(content().string("bar"))
-                // first WireMock
-                .andDo(WireMockRestDocs.verify().jsonPath("$[?(@.foo >= 20)]")
-                        .jsonPath("$[?(@.bar in ['baz','bazz','bazzz'])]")
-                        .contentType(MediaType.valueOf("application/json")))
-                // then Contract DSL documentation
-                .andDo(document("index", SpringCloudContractRestDocs.dslContract()));
-
-
-
-
-
-

The preceding test creates the stub presented in the previous section, generating both -the contract and a documentation file.

-
-
-

The contract is called index.groovy and might resemble the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract
-
-Contract.make {
-    request {
-        method 'POST'
-        url '/foo'
-        body('''
-            {"foo": 23 }
-        ''')
-        headers {
-            header('''Accept''', '''application/json''')
-            header('''Content-Type''', '''application/json''')
-        }
-    }
-    response {
-        status OK()
-        body('''
-        bar
-        ''')
-        headers {
-            header('''Content-Type''', '''application/json;charset=UTF-8''')
-            header('''Content-Length''', '''3''')
-        }
-        bodyMatchers {
-            jsonPath('$[?(@.foo >= 20)]', byType())
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The generated document (formatted in Asciidoc in this case) contains a formatted -contract. The location of this file would be index/dsl-contract.adoc.

-
-
-
-
-
-

3.4. Messaging

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract lets you verify applications that use messaging as a -means of communication. All of the integrations shown in this document work with Spring, -but you can also create one of your own and use that.

-
-
-

3.4.1. Messaging DSL Top-Level Elements

-
-

The DSL for messaging looks a little bit different than the one that focuses on HTTP. The -following sections explain the differences:

-
-
- -
-
-
Output Triggered by a Method
-
-

The output message can be triggered by calling a method (such as a Scheduler when a contract was -started and a message was sent), as shown in the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
def dsl = Contract.make {
-    // Human readable description
-    description 'Some description'
-    // Label by means of which the output message can be triggered
-    label 'some_label'
-    // input to the contract
-    input {
-        // the contract will be triggered by a method
-        triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()')
-    }
-    // output message of the contract
-    outputMessage {
-        // destination to which the output message will be sent
-        sentTo('output')
-        // the body of the output message
-        body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
-        // the headers of the output message
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
# Human readable description
-description: Some description
-# Label by means of which the output message can be triggered
-label: some_label
-input:
-  # the contract will be triggered by a method
-  triggeredBy: bookReturnedTriggered()
-# output message of the contract
-outputMessage:
-  # destination to which the output message will be sent
-  sentTo: output
-  # the body of the output message
-  body:
-    bookName: foo
-  # the headers of the output message
-  headers:
-    BOOK-NAME: foo
-
-
-
-
-
-

In the previous example case, the output message is sent to output if a method called -bookReturnedTriggered is executed. On the message publisher’s side, we generate a -test that calls that method to trigger the message. On the consumer side, you can use -the some_label to trigger the message.

-
-
-
-
Output Triggered by a Message
-
-

The output message can be triggered by receiving a message, as shown in the following -example:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
def dsl = Contract.make {
-    description 'Some Description'
-    label 'some_label'
-    // input is a message
-    input {
-        // the message was received from this destination
-        messageFrom('input')
-        // has the following body
-        messageBody([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        // and the following headers
-        messageHeaders {
-            header('sample', 'header')
-        }
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('output')
-        body([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
# Human readable description
-description: Some description
-# Label by means of which the output message can be triggered
-label: some_label
-# input is a message
-input:
-  messageFrom: input
-  # has the following body
-  messageBody:
-    bookName: 'foo'
-  # and the following headers
-  messageHeaders:
-    sample: 'header'
-# output message of the contract
-outputMessage:
-  # destination to which the output message will be sent
-  sentTo: output
-  # the body of the output message
-  body:
-    bookName: foo
-  # the headers of the output message
-  headers:
-    BOOK-NAME: foo
-
-
-
-
-
-

In the preceding example, the output message is sent to output if a proper message is -received on the input destination. On the message publisher’s side, the engine -generates a test that sends the input message to the defined destination. On the -consumer side, you can either send a message to the input destination or use a label -(some_label in the example) to trigger the message.

-
-
-
-
Consumer/Producer
-
- - - - - -
- - -This section is valid only for Groovy DSL. -
-
-
-

In HTTP, you have a notion of client/stub and `server/test notation. You can also -use those paradigms in messaging. In addition, Spring Cloud Contract Verifier also -provides the consumer and producer methods, as presented in the following example -(note that you can use either $ or value methods to provide consumer and producer -parts):

-
-
-
-
                    Contract.make {
-                name "foo"
-                        label 'some_label'
-                        input {
-                            messageFrom value(consumer('jms:output'), producer('jms:input'))
-                            messageBody([
-                                    bookName: 'foo'
-                            ])
-                            messageHeaders {
-                                header('sample', 'header')
-                            }
-                        }
-                        outputMessage {
-                            sentTo $(consumer('jms:input'), producer('jms:output'))
-                            body([
-                                    bookName: 'foo'
-                            ])
-                        }
-                    }
-
-
-
-
-
Common
-
-

In the input or outputMessage section, you can call assertThat with the name -of a method (for example, assertThatMessageIsOnTheQueue()) that you have defined in the -base class or in a static import. Spring Cloud Contract runs that method -in the generated test.

-
-
-
-
-

3.4.2. Integrations

-
-

You can use one of the following four integration configurations:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Apache Camel

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Integration

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Cloud Stream

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring AMQP

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring JMS (requires embedded broker)

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Kafka (requires embedded broker)

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Since we use Spring Boot, if you have added one of these libraries to the classpath, all -the messaging configuration is automatically set up.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Remember to put @AutoConfigureMessageVerifier on the base class of your -generated tests. Otherwise, the messaging part of Spring Cloud Contract does not -work. -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -
-

If you want to use Spring Cloud Stream, remember to add a test dependency on -org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-stream</artifactId>
-    <type>test-jar</type>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-    <classifier>test-binder</classifier>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
testImplementation(group: 'org.springframework.cloud', name: 'spring-cloud-stream', classifier: 'test-binder')
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Manual Integration Testing
-
-

The main interface used by the tests is -org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.messaging.MessageVerifier. -It defines how to send and receive messages. You can create your own implementation to -achieve the same goal.

-
-
-

In a test, you can inject a ContractVerifierMessageExchange to send and receive -messages that follow the contract. Then add @AutoConfigureMessageVerifier to your test. -The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringTestRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest
-@AutoConfigureMessageVerifier
-public static class MessagingContractTests {
-
-  @Autowired
-  private MessageVerifier verifier;
-  ...
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If your tests require stubs as well, then @AutoConfigureStubRunner includes the -messaging configuration, so you only need the one annotation. -
-
-
-
-
-

3.4.3. Producer Side Messaging Test Generation

-
-

Having the input or outputMessage sections in your DSL results in creation of tests -on the publisher’s side. By default, JUnit 4 tests are created. However, there is also a -possibility to create JUnit 5, TestNG, or Spock tests.

-
-
-

There are three main scenarios that we should take into consideration:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Scenario 1: There is no input message that produces an output message. The output -message is triggered by a component inside the application (for example, a scheduler).

    -
    • -
  • -

    Scenario 2: The input message triggers an output message.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Scenario 3: The input message is consumed, and there is no output message.

    -
    • -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -The destination passed to messageFrom or sentTo can have different -meanings for different messaging implementations. For Stream and Integration, it is -first resolved as a destination of a channel. Then, if there is no such destination -it is resolved as a channel name. For Camel, that’s a certain component (for example, -jms). -
-
-
-
Scenario 1: No Input Message
-
-

Consider the following contract:

-
-
-
-
-
groovy
-
-
def contractDsl = Contract.make {
-    name "foo"
-    label 'some_label'
-    input {
-        triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()')
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('activemq:output')
-        body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-            messagingContentType(applicationJson())
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
yml
-
-
label: some_label
-input:
-  triggeredBy: bookReturnedTriggered
-outputMessage:
-  sentTo: activemq:output
-  body:
-    bookName: foo
-  headers:
-    BOOK-NAME: foo
-    contentType: application/json
-
-
-
-
-
-

For the preceding example, the following test would be created:

-
-
-
-
-
JUnit
-
-
                    '''\
-package com.example;
-
-import com.jayway.jsonpath.DocumentContext;
-import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath;
-import org.junit.Test;
-import org.junit.Rule;

3.4.4. Consumer Stub Generation

-
-

Unlike in the HTTP part, in messaging, we need to publish the contract definition inside the JAR with -a stub. Then it is parsed on the consumer side, and proper stubbed routes are created.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you have multiple frameworks on the classpath, Stub Runner needs to -define which one should be used. Assume that you have AMQP, Spring Cloud Stream, and Spring Integration -on the classpath and that you want to use Spring AMQP. Then you need to set -stubrunner.stream.enabled=false and stubrunner.integration.enabled=false. -That way, the only remaining framework is Spring AMQP. -
-
-
-
Stub triggering
-
-

To trigger a message, use the StubTrigger interface, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
package org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner;
-
-import java.util.Collection;
-import java.util.Map;
-
-/**
- * Contract for triggering stub messages.
- *
- * @author Marcin Grzejszczak
- */
-public interface StubTrigger {
-
-    /**
-     * Triggers an event by a given label for a given {@code groupid:artifactid} notation.
-     * You can use only {@code artifactId} too.
-     *
-     * Feature related to messaging.
-     * @param ivyNotation ivy notation of a stub
-     * @param labelName name of the label to trigger
-     * @return true - if managed to run a trigger
-     */
-    boolean trigger(String ivyNotation, String labelName);
-
-    /**
-     * Triggers an event by a given label.
-     *
-     * Feature related to messaging.
-     * @param labelName name of the label to trigger
-     * @return true - if managed to run a trigger
-     */
-    boolean trigger(String labelName);
-
-    /**
-     * Triggers all possible events.
-     *
-     * Feature related to messaging.
-     * @return true - if managed to run a trigger
-     */
-    boolean trigger();
-
-    /**
-     * Feature related to messaging.
-     * @return a mapping of ivy notation of a dependency to all the labels it has.
-     */
-    Map<String, Collection<String>> labels();
-
-}
-
-
-
-

For convenience, the StubFinder interface extends StubTrigger, so you only need one -or the other in your tests.

-
-
-

StubTrigger gives you the following options to trigger a message:

-
-
- -
-
-
-
Trigger by Label
-
-

The following example shows how to trigger a message with a label:

-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
Trigger by Group and Artifact Ids
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:streamService', 'return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
Trigger by Artifact IDs
-
-

The following example shows how to trigger a message from artifact IDs:

-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('streamService', 'return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
Trigger All Messages
-
-

The following example shows how to trigger all messages:

-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger()
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.4.5. Consumer Side Messaging With Apache Camel

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner’s messaging module gives you an easy way to integrate with Apache Camel. -For the provided artifacts, it automatically downloads the stubs and registers the required -routes.

-
-
-
Adding Apache Camel to the Project
-
-

You can have both Apache Camel and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the classpath. -Remember to annotate your test class with @AutoConfigureStubRunner.

-
-
-
-
Disabling the Functionality
-
-

If you need to disable this functionality, set the stubrunner.camel.enabled=false property.

-
-
-
-
Examples
-
-

Assume that we have the following Maven repository with deployed stubs for the -camelService application.

-
-
-
-
-
-
└── .m2
-    └── repository
-        └── io
-            └── codearte
-                └── accurest
-                    └── stubs
-                        └── camelService
-                            ├── 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
-                            │   ├── camelService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.pom
-                            │   ├── camelService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
-                            │   └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-                            └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-
-
-
-
-
-

Further assume that the stubs contain the following structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
├── META-INF
-│   └── MANIFEST.MF
-└── repository
-    ├── accurest
-    │   ├── bookDeleted.groovy
-    │   ├── bookReturned1.groovy
-    │   └── bookReturned2.groovy
-    └── mappings
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now consider the following contracts (we number them 1 and 2):

-
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_1'
-    input {
-        triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()')
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('jms:output')
-        body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_2'
-    input {
-        messageFrom('jms:input')
-        messageBody([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        messageHeaders {
-            header('sample', 'header')
-        }
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('jms:output')
-        body([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 1 (No Input Message)
-
-

To trigger a message from the return_book_1 label, we use the StubTrigger interface, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, we want to listen to the output of the message sent to jms:output:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Exchange receivedMessage = consumerTemplate.receive('jms:output', 5000)
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message would then pass the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertThatBodyContainsBookNameFoo(receivedMessage.in.body)
-receivedMessage.in.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 2 (Output Triggered by Input)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the jms:output destination.

-
-
-
-
-
-
producerTemplate.
-        sendBodyAndHeaders('jms:input', new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'])
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, we want to listen to the output of the message sent to jms:output, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Exchange receivedMessage = consumerTemplate.receive('jms:output', 5000)
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message would pass the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertThatBodyContainsBookNameFoo(receivedMessage.in.body)
-receivedMessage.in.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 3 (Input with No Output)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the jms:output destination, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
producerTemplate.
-        sendBodyAndHeaders('jms:delete', new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'])
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.4.6. Consumer Side Messaging with Spring Integration

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner’s messaging module gives you an easy way to -integrate with Spring Integration. For the provided artifacts, it automatically downloads -the stubs and registers the required routes.

-
-
-
Adding the Runner to the Project
-
-

You can have both Spring Integration and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the -classpath. Remember to annotate your test class with @AutoConfigureStubRunner.

-
-
-
-
Disabling the Functionality
-
-

If you need to disable this functionality, set the -stubrunner.integration.enabled=false property.

-
-
-
-
Examples
-
-

Assume that you have the following Maven repository with deployed stubs for the -integrationService application:

-
-
-
-
-
-
└── .m2
-    └── repository
-        └── io
-            └── codearte
-                └── accurest
-                    └── stubs
-                        └── integrationService
-                            ├── 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
-                            │   ├── integrationService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.pom
-                            │   ├── integrationService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
-                            │   └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-                            └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-
-
-
-
-
-

Further assume the stubs contain the following structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
├── META-INF
-│   └── MANIFEST.MF
-└── repository
-    ├── accurest
-    │   ├── bookDeleted.groovy
-    │   ├── bookReturned1.groovy
-    │   └── bookReturned2.groovy
-    └── mappings
-
-
-
-
-
-

Consider the following contracts (numbered 1 and 2):

-
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_1'
-    input {
-        triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()')
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('output')
-        body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_2'
-    input {
-        messageFrom('input')
-        messageBody([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        messageHeaders {
-            header('sample', 'header')
-        }
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('output')
-        body([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now consider the following Spring Integration Route:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<beans:beans xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
-             xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
-             xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration"
-             xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
-            https://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
-            http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration
-            http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/spring-integration.xsd">
-
-
-    <!-- REQUIRED FOR TESTING -->
-    <bridge input-channel="output"
-            output-channel="outputTest"/>
-
-    <channel id="outputTest">
-        <queue/>
-    </channel>
-
-</beans:beans>
-
-
-
-
-
-

These examples lend themselves to three scenarios:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Scenario 1 (No Input Message)

    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Scenario 2 (Output Triggered by Input)

    -
    3. -
  3. -

    Scenario 3 (Input with No Output)

    -
    4. -
-
-
-
Scenario 1 (No Input Message)
-
-

To trigger a message from the return_book_1 label, use the StubTrigger interface, as -follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following listing shows how to listen to the output of the message sent to jms:output:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('outputTest')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message would pass the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
-receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 2 (Output Triggered by Input)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the jms:output -destination, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'input')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following listing shows how to listen to the output of the message sent to jms:output:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('outputTest')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message passes the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
-receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 3 (Input with No Output)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the jms:input destination, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'delete')
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.4.7. Consumer Side Messaging With Spring Cloud Stream

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner’s messaging module gives you an easy way to -integrate with Spring Stream. For the provided artifacts, it automatically downloads the -stubs and registers the required routes.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If Stub Runner’s integration with the Stream messageFrom or sentTo strings -are resolved first as the destination of a channel and no such destination exists, the -destination is resolved as a channel name. -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -
-

If you want to use Spring Cloud Stream, remember to add a dependency on -org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream test support, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-stream</artifactId>
-    <type>test-jar</type>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-    <classifier>test-binder</classifier>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
testImplementation(group: 'org.springframework.cloud', name: 'spring-cloud-stream', classifier: 'test-binder')
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Adding the Runner to the Project
-
-

You can have both Spring Cloud Stream and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the -classpath. Remember to annotate your test class with @AutoConfigureStubRunner.

-
-
-
-
Disabling the Functionality
-
-

If you need to disable this functionality, set the stubrunner.stream.enabled=false -property.

-
-
-
-
Examples
-
-

Assume that you have the following Maven repository with deployed stubs for the -streamService application:

-
-
-
-
-
-
└── .m2
-    └── repository
-        └── io
-            └── codearte
-                └── accurest
-                    └── stubs
-                        └── streamService
-                            ├── 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
-                            │   ├── streamService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.pom
-                            │   ├── streamService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
-                            │   └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-                            └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-
-
-
-
-
-

Further assume the stubs contain the following structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
├── META-INF
-│   └── MANIFEST.MF
-└── repository
-    ├── accurest
-    │   ├── bookDeleted.groovy
-    │   ├── bookReturned1.groovy
-    │   └── bookReturned2.groovy
-    └── mappings
-
-
-
-
-
-

Consider the following contracts (numbered 1 and 2):

-
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_1'
-    input { triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()') }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('returnBook')
-        body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
-        headers { header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo') }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_2'
-    input {
-        messageFrom('bookStorage')
-        messageBody([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        messageHeaders { header('sample', 'header') }
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('returnBook')
-        body([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        headers { header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo') }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now consider the following Spring configuration:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner.repositoryRoot: classpath:m2repo/repository/
-stubrunner.ids: org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:streamService:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:stubs
-stubrunner.stubs-mode: remote
-spring:
-  cloud:
-    stream:
-      bindings:
-        output:
-          destination: returnBook
-        input:
-          destination: bookStorage
-
-server:
-  port: 0
-
-debug: true
-
-
-
-
-
-

These examples lend themselves to three scenarios:

-
-
- -
-
-
Scenario 1 (No Input Message)
-
-

To trigger a message from the return_book_1 label, use the StubTrigger interface as -follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following example shows how to listen to the output of the message sent to a channel whose destination is -returnBook:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('returnBook')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message passes the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
-receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 2 (Output Triggered by Input)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the bookStorage -destination, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'bookStorage')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following example shows how to listen to the output of the message sent to returnBook:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message<?> receivedMessage = messaging.receive('returnBook')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message passes the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertJsons(receivedMessage.payload)
-receivedMessage.headers.get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 3 (Input with No Output)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the jms:output -destination, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
messaging.send(new BookReturned('foo'), [sample: 'header'], 'delete')
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.4.8. Consumer Side Messaging With Spring AMQP

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner’s messaging module provides an easy way to -integrate with Spring AMQP’s Rabbit Template. For the provided artifacts, it -automatically downloads the stubs and registers the required routes.

-
-
-

The integration tries to work standalone (that is, without interaction with a running -RabbitMQ message broker). It expects a RabbitTemplate on the application context and -uses it as a spring boot test named @SpyBean. As a result, it can use the Mockito spy -functionality to verify and inspect messages sent by the application.

-
-
-

On the message consumer side, the stub runner considers all @RabbitListener annotated -endpoints and all SimpleMessageListenerContainer objects on the application context.

-
-
-

As messages are usually sent to exchanges in AMQP, the message contract contains the -exchange name as the destination. Message listeners on the other side are bound to -queues. Bindings connect an exchange to a queue. If message contracts are triggered, the -Spring AMQP stub runner integration looks for bindings on the application context that -matches this exchange. Then it collects the queues from the Spring exchanges and tries to -find message listeners bound to these queues. The message is triggered for all matching -message listeners.

-
-
-

If you need to work with routing keys, you can pass them by using the amqp_receivedRoutingKey -messaging header.

-
-
-
Adding the Runner to the Project
-
-

You can have both Spring AMQP and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the classpath and -set the property stubrunner.amqp.enabled=true. Remember to annotate your test class -with @AutoConfigureStubRunner.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you already have Stream and Integration on the classpath, you need -to disable them explicitly by setting the stubrunner.stream.enabled=false and -stubrunner.integration.enabled=false properties. -
-
-
-
-
Examples
-
-

Assume that you have the following Maven repository with a deployed stubs for the -spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test application:

-
-
-
-
-
-
└── .m2
-    └── repository
-        └── com
-            └── example
-                └── spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test
-                    ├── 0.4.0-SNAPSHOT
-                    │   ├── spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test-0.4.0-SNAPSHOT.pom
-                    │   ├── spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test-0.4.0-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
-                    │   └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-                    └── maven-metadata-local.xml
-
-
-
-
-
-

Further assume that the stubs contain the following structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
├── META-INF
-│   └── MANIFEST.MF
-└── contracts
-    └── shouldProduceValidPersonData.groovy
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then consider the following contract:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    // Human readable description
-    description 'Should produce valid person data'
-    // Label by means of which the output message can be triggered
-    label 'contract-test.person.created.event'
-    // input to the contract
-    input {
-        // the contract will be triggered by a method
-        triggeredBy('createPerson()')
-    }
-    // output message of the contract
-    outputMessage {
-        // destination to which the output message will be sent
-        sentTo 'contract-test.exchange'
-        headers {
-            header('contentType': 'application/json')
-            header('__TypeId__': 'org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.messaging.amqp.Person')
-        }
-        // the body of the output message
-        body([
-                id  : $(consumer(9), producer(regex("[0-9]+"))),
-                name: "me"
-        ])
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now consider the following Spring configuration:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  repositoryRoot: classpath:m2repo/repository/
-  ids: org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs.amqp:spring-cloud-contract-amqp-test:0.4.0-SNAPSHOT:stubs
-  stubs-mode: remote
-  amqp:
-    enabled: true
-server:
-  port: 0
-
-
-
-
-
-
Triggering the Message
-
-

To trigger a message using the contract in the preceding section, use the StubTrigger interface as -follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubTrigger.trigger("contract-test.person.created.event")
-
-
-
-
-
-

The message has a destination of contract-test.exchange, so the Spring AMQP stub runner -integration looks for bindings related to this exchange, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@Bean
-public Binding binding() {
-    return BindingBuilder.bind(new Queue("test.queue"))
-            .to(new DirectExchange("contract-test.exchange")).with("#");
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The binding definition binds the queue called test.queue. As a result, the following listener -definition is matched and invoked with the contract message:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@Bean
-public SimpleMessageListenerContainer simpleMessageListenerContainer(
-        ConnectionFactory connectionFactory,
-        MessageListenerAdapter listenerAdapter) {
-    SimpleMessageListenerContainer container = new SimpleMessageListenerContainer();
-    container.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
-    container.setQueueNames("test.queue");
-    container.setMessageListener(listenerAdapter);
-
-    return container;
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Also, the following annotated listener matches and is invoked:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RabbitListener(bindings = @QueueBinding(value = @Queue("test.queue"),
-        exchange = @Exchange(value = "contract-test.exchange",
-                ignoreDeclarationExceptions = "true")))
-public void handlePerson(Person person) {
-    this.person = person;
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -The message is directly handed over to the onMessage method of the -MessageListener associated with the matching SimpleMessageListenerContainer. -
-
-
-
-
Spring AMQP Test Configuration
-
-

In order to avoid Spring AMQP trying to connect to a running broker during our tests, we -configure a mock ConnectionFactory.

-
-
-

To disable the mocked ConnectionFactory, set the following property: -stubrunner.amqp.mockConnection=false, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  amqp:
-    mockConnection: false
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.4.9. Consumer Side Messaging With Spring JMS

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner’s messaging module provides an easy way to -integrate with Spring JMS.

-
-
-

The integration assumes that you have a running instance of a JMS broker (e.g. activemq embedded broker).

-
-
-
Adding the Runner to the Project
-
-

You need to have both Spring JMS and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the classpath. Remember to annotate your test class -with @AutoConfigureStubRunner.

-
-
-
-
Examples
-
-

Assume that the stub structure looks as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
├── stubs
-    ├── bookDeleted.groovy
-    ├── bookReturned1.groovy
-    └── bookReturned2.groovy
-
-
-
-
-
-

Further assume the following test configuration:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  repository-root: stubs:classpath:/stubs/
-  ids: my:stubs
-  stubs-mode: remote
-spring:
-  activemq:
-    send-timeout: 1000
-  jms:
-    template:
-      receive-timeout: 1000
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now consider the following contracts (we number them 1 and 2):

-
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_1'
-    input {
-        triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()')
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('output')
-        body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_2'
-    input {
-        messageFrom('input')
-        messageBody([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        messageHeaders {
-            header('sample', 'header')
-        }
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('output')
-        body([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 1 (No Input Message)
-
-

To trigger a message from the return_book_1 label, we use the StubTrigger interface, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, we want to listen to the output of the message sent to output:

-
-
-
-
-
-
TextMessage receivedMessage = (TextMessage) jmsTemplate.receive('output')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message would then pass the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertThatBodyContainsBookNameFoo(receivedMessage.getText())
-receivedMessage.getStringProperty('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 2 (Output Triggered by Input)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the output destination.

-
-
-
-
-
-
jmsTemplate.
-        convertAndSend('input', new BookReturned('foo'), new MessagePostProcessor() {
-            @Override
-            Message postProcessMessage(Message message) throws JMSException {
-                message.setStringProperty("sample", "header")
-                return message
-            }
-        })
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, we want to listen to the output of the message sent to output, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
TextMessage receivedMessage = (TextMessage) jmsTemplate.receive('output')
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message would pass the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
receivedMessage != null
-assertThatBodyContainsBookNameFoo(receivedMessage.getText())
-receivedMessage.getStringProperty('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 3 (Input with No Output)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the output destination, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
jmsTemplate.
-        convertAndSend('delete', new BookReturned('foo'), new MessagePostProcessor() {
-            @Override
-            Message postProcessMessage(Message message) throws JMSException {
-                message.setStringProperty("sample", "header")
-                return message
-            }
-        })
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.4.10. Consumer Side Messaging With Spring Kafka

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner’s messaging module provides an easy way to -integrate with Spring Kafka.

-
-
-

The integration assumes that you have a running instance of a embedded Kafka broker (via the spring-kafka-test dependency).

-
-
-
Adding the Runner to the Project
-
-

You need to have both Spring Kafka, Spring Kafka Test (to run the @EmbeddedBroker) and Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner on the classpath. Remember to annotate your test class -with @AutoConfigureStubRunner.

-
-
-

With Kafka integration, in order to poll for a single message we need to register a consumer upon Spring context startup. That may lead to a situation that, when you’re on the consumer side, Stub Runner can register an additional consumer for the same group id and topic. That could lead to a situation that only one of the components would actually poll for the message. Since on the consumer side you have both the Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner and Spring Cloud Contract Verifier classpath, we need to be able to switch off such behaviour. That’s done automatically via the stubrunner.kafka.initializer.enabled flag, that will disable the Contact Verifier consumer registration. If your application is both the consumer and the producer of a kafka message, you might need to manually toggle that property to false in the base class of your generated tests.

-
-
-
-
Examples
-
-

Assume that the stub structure looks as follows:

-
-
-
-

Further assume the following test configuration (notice the spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers pointing to the embedded broker’s IP via ${spring.embedded.kafka.brokers}):

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  repository-root: stubs:classpath:/stubs/
-  ids: my:stubs
-  stubs-mode: remote
-spring:
-  kafka:
-    bootstrap-servers: ${spring.embedded.kafka.brokers}
-    producer:
-      properties:
-        "value.serializer": "org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.JsonSerializer"
-        "spring.json.trusted.packages": "*"
-    consumer:
-      properties:
-        "value.deserializer": "org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.JsonDeserializer"
-        "value.serializer": "org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.JsonSerializer"
-        "spring.json.trusted.packages": "*"
-      group-id: groupId
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now consider the following contracts (we number them 1 and 2):

-
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_1'
-    input {
-        triggeredBy('bookReturnedTriggered()')
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('output')
-        body('''{ "bookName" : "foo" }''')
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
Contract.make {
-    label 'return_book_2'
-    input {
-        messageFrom('input')
-        messageBody([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        messageHeaders {
-            header('sample', 'header')
-        }
-    }
-    outputMessage {
-        sentTo('output')
-        body([
-                bookName: 'foo'
-        ])
-        headers {
-            header('BOOK-NAME', 'foo')
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 1 (No Input Message)
-
-

To trigger a message from the return_book_1 label, we use the StubTrigger interface, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubFinder.trigger('return_book_1')
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, we want to listen to the output of the message sent to output:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message receivedMessage = receiveFromOutput()
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message would then pass the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
assert receivedMessage != null
-assert assertThatBodyContainsBookNameFoo(receivedMessage.getPayload())
-assert receivedMessage.getHeaders().get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 2 (Output Triggered by Input)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the output destination.

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message message = MessageBuilder.createMessage(new BookReturned('foo'), new MessageHeaders([sample: "header",]))
-kafkaTemplate.setDefaultTopic('input')
-kafkaTemplate.send(message)
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, we want to listen to the output of the message sent to output, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message receivedMessage = receiveFromOutput()
-
-
-
-
-
-

The received message would pass the following assertions:

-
-
-
-
-
-
assert receivedMessage != null
-assert assertThatBodyContainsBookNameFoo(receivedMessage.getPayload())
-assert receivedMessage.getHeaders().get('BOOK-NAME') == 'foo'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Scenario 3 (Input with No Output)
-
-

Since the route is set for you, you can send a message to the output destination, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
Message message = MessageBuilder.createMessage(new BookReturned('foo'), new MessageHeaders([sample: "header",]))
-kafkaTemplate.setDefaultTopic('delete')
-kafkaTemplate.send(message)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.5. Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner

-
-

One of the issues that you might encounter while using Spring Cloud Contract Verifier is -passing the generated WireMock JSON stubs from the server side to the client side (or to -various clients). The same takes place in terms of client-side generation for messaging.

-
-
-

Copying the JSON files and setting the client side for messaging manually is out of the -question. That is why we introduced Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner. It can -automatically download and run the stubs for you.

-
-
-

3.5.1. Snapshot Versions

-
-

You can add the additional snapshot repository to your build.gradle file to use snapshot -versions, which are automatically uploaded after every successful build, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<repositories>
-    <repository>
-        <id>spring-snapshots</id>
-        <name>Spring Snapshots</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/snapshot</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>true</enabled>

-            <enabled>false</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </repository>
-</repositories>
-<pluginRepositories>
-    <pluginRepository>

-    </pluginRepository>
-    <pluginRepository>
-        <id>spring-milestones</id>
-        <name>Spring Milestones</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>false</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </pluginRepository>
-    <pluginRepository>
-        <id>spring-releases</id>

-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>false</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </pluginRepository>
-</pluginRepositories>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
/*
- We need to use the [buildscript {}] section when we have to modify
- the classpath for the plugins. If that's not the case this section
- can be skipped.
-
- If you don't need to modify the classpath (e.g. add a Pact dependency),
- then you can just set the [pluginManagement {}] section in [settings.gradle] file.
-
- // settings.gradle
- pluginManagement {
-    repositories {
-        // for snapshots
-        maven {url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot"}
-        // for milestones
-        maven {url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone"}
-        // for GA versions
-        gradlePluginPortal()
-    }
- }
-
- */
-buildscript {
-    repositories {
-        mavenCentral()
-        mavenLocal()
-        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
-        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
-        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/release" }
-    }
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.5.2. Publishing Stubs as JARs

-
-

The easiest approach to publishing stubs as jars is to centralize the way stubs are kept. -For example, you can keep them as jars in a Maven repository.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -For both Maven and Gradle, the setup comes ready to work. However, you can customize -it if you want to. -
-
-
-

The following example shows how to publish stubs as jars:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<!-- First disable the default jar setup in the properties section -->
-<!-- we don't want the verifier to do a jar for us -->
-<spring.cloud.contract.verifier.skip>true</spring.cloud.contract.verifier.skip>
-
-<!-- Next add the assembly plugin to your build -->
-<!-- we want the assembly plugin to generate the JAR -->
-<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
-    <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <id>stub</id>
-            <phase>prepare-package</phase>
-            <goals>
-                <goal>single</goal>
-            </goals>
-            <inherited>false</inherited>
-            <configuration>
-                <attach>true</attach>
-                <descriptors>
-                    ${basedir}/src/assembly/stub.xml
-                </descriptors>
-            </configuration>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-</plugin>
-
-<!-- Finally setup your assembly. Below you can find the contents of src/main/assembly/stub.xml -->
-<assembly
-    xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.3"
-    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
-    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.3 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.3.xsd">
-    <id>stubs</id>
-    <formats>
-        <format>jar</format>
-    </formats>
-    <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
-    <fileSets>
-        <fileSet>
-            <directory>src/main/java</directory>
-            <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
-            <includes>
-                <include>**com/example/model/*.*</include>
-            </includes>
-        </fileSet>
-        <fileSet>
-            <directory>${project.build.directory}/classes</directory>
-            <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
-            <includes>
-                <include>**com/example/model/*.*</include>
-            </includes>
-        </fileSet>
-        <fileSet>
-            <directory>${project.build.directory}/snippets/stubs</directory>
-            <outputDirectory>META-INF/${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}/mappings</outputDirectory>
-            <includes>
-                <include>**/*</include>
-            </includes>
-        </fileSet>
-        <fileSet>
-            <directory>${basedir}/src/test/resources/contracts</directory>
-            <outputDirectory>META-INF/${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}/contracts</outputDirectory>
-            <includes>
-                <include>**/*.groovy</include>
-            </includes>
-        </fileSet>
-    </fileSets>
-</assembly>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
ext {
-    contractsDir = file("mappings")
-    stubsOutputDirRoot = file("${project.buildDir}/production/${project.name}-stubs/")
-}
-
-// Automatically added by plugin:
-// copyContracts - copies contracts to the output folder from which JAR will be created
-// verifierStubsJar - JAR with a provided stub suffix
-// the presented publication is also added by the plugin but you can modify it as you wish
-
-publishing {
-    publications {
-        stubs(MavenPublication) {
-            artifactId "${project.name}-stubs"
-            artifact verifierStubsJar
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.5.3. Stub Runner Core

-
-

The stub runner core runs stubs for service collaborators. Treating stubs as contracts of -services lets you use stub-runner as an implementation of -Consumer-driven Contracts.

-
-
-

Stub Runner lets you automatically download the stubs of the provided dependencies (or -pick those from the classpath), start WireMock servers for them, and feed them with proper -stub definitions. For messaging, special stub routes are defined.

-
-
-
Retrieving stubs
-
-

You can pick from the following options of acquiring stubs:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Aether-based solution that downloads JARs with stubs from Artifactory or Nexus

    -
    • -
  • -

    Classpath-scanning solution that searches the classpath with a pattern to retrieve stubs

    -
    • -
  • -

    Writing your own implementation of the org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.StubDownloaderBuilder for full customization

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The latter example is described in the Custom Stub Runner section.

-
-
-
Downloading Stubs
-
-

You can control the downloading of stubs with the stubsMode switch. It picks value from the -StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode enumeration. You can use the following options:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.CLASSPATH (default value): Picks stubs from the classpath

    -
    • -
  • -

    StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.LOCAL: Picks stubs from a local storage (for example, .m2)

    -
    • -
  • -

    StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE: Picks stubs from a remote location

    -
    • -
-
-
-

The following example picks stubs from a local location:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(repositoryRoot="https://foo.bar", ids = "com.example:beer-api-producer:+:stubs:8095", stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.LOCAL)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Classpath scanning
-
-

If you set the stubsMode property to StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.CLASSPATH -(or set nothing since CLASSPATH is the default value), the classpath is scanned. -Consider the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {
-    "com.example:beer-api-producer:+:stubs:8095",
-    "com.example.foo:bar:1.0.0:superstubs:8096"
-})
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can add the dependencies to your classpath, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
-    <artifactId>beer-api-producer-restdocs</artifactId>
-    <classifier>stubs</classifier>
-    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-    <exclusions>
-        <exclusion>
-            <groupId>*</groupId>
-            <artifactId>*</artifactId>
-        </exclusion>
-    </exclusions>
-</dependency>
-<dependency>
-    <groupId>com.example.thing1</groupId>
-    <artifactId>thing2</artifactId>
-    <classifier>superstubs</classifier>
-    <version>1.0.0</version>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-    <exclusions>
-        <exclusion>
-            <groupId>*</groupId>
-            <artifactId>*</artifactId>
-        </exclusion>
-    </exclusions>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
testCompile("com.example:beer-api-producer-restdocs:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:stubs") {
-    transitive = false
-}
-testCompile("com.example.thing1:thing2:1.0.0:superstubs") {
-    transitive = false
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then the specified locations on your classpath get scanned. For com.example:beer-api-producer-restdocs, -the following locations are scanned:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    /META-INF/com.example/beer-api-producer-restdocs/*/.*

    -
    • -
  • -

    /contracts/com.example/beer-api-producer-restdocs/*/.*

    -
    • -
  • -

    /mappings/com.example/beer-api-producer-restdocs/*/.*

    -
    • -
-
-
-

For com.example.thing1:thing2, the following locations are scanned:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    /META-INF/com.example.thing1/thing2/*/.*

    -
    • -
  • -

    /contracts/com.example.thing1/thing2/*/.*

    -
    • -
  • -

    /mappings/com.example.thing1/thing2/*/.*

    -
    • -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You have to explicitly provide the group and artifact IDs when you package the -producer stubs. -
-
-
-

To achieve proper stub packaging, the producer would set up the contracts as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
└── src
-    └── test
-        └── resources
-            └── contracts
-                └── com.example
-                    └── beer-api-producer-restdocs
-                        └── nested
-                            └── contract3.groovy
-
-
-
-
-
-

By using the Maven assembly plugin or -Gradle Jar task, you have to create the following -structure in your stubs jar:

-
-
-
-
-
-
└── META-INF
-    └── com.example
-        └── beer-api-producer-restdocs
-            └── 2.0.0
-                ├── contracts
-                │   └── nested
-                │       └── contract2.groovy
-                └── mappings
-                    └── mapping.json
-
-
-
-
-
-

By maintaining this structure, the classpath gets scanned and you can profit from the messaging or -HTTP stubs without the need to download artifacts.

-
-
-
-
Configuring HTTP Server Stubs
-
-

Stub Runner has a notion of a HttpServerStub that abstracts the underlying -concrete implementation of the HTTP server (for example, WireMock is one of the implementations). -Sometimes, you need to perform some additional tuning (which is concrete for the given implementation) of the stub servers. -To do that, Stub Runner gives you -the httpServerStubConfigurer property that is available in the annotation and the -JUnit rule and is accessible through system properties, where you can provide -your implementation of the org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.HttpServerStubConfigurer -interface. The implementations can alter -the configuration files for the given HTTP server stub.

-
-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner comes with an implementation that you -can extend for WireMock: -org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.provider.wiremock.WireMockHttpServerStubConfigurer. -In the configure method, -you can provide your own custom configuration for the given stub. The use -case might be starting WireMock for the given artifact ID, on an HTTPS port. The following -example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
Example 1. WireMockHttpServerStubConfigurer implementation
-
-
-
-
@CompileStatic
-static class HttpsForFraudDetection extends WireMockHttpServerStubConfigurer {
-
-    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(HttpsForFraudDetection)
-
-    @Override
-    WireMockConfiguration configure(WireMockConfiguration httpStubConfiguration, HttpServerStubConfiguration httpServerStubConfiguration) {
-        if (httpServerStubConfiguration.stubConfiguration.artifactId == "fraudDetectionServer") {
-            int httpsPort = SocketUtils.findAvailableTcpPort()
-            log.info("Will set HTTPs port [" + httpsPort + "] for fraud detection server")
-            return httpStubConfiguration
-                    .httpsPort(httpsPort)
-        }
-        return httpStubConfiguration
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can then reuse it with the @AutoConfigureStubRunner annotation, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(mappingsOutputFolder = "target/outputmappings/",
-        httpServerStubConfigurer = HttpsForFraudDetection)
-
-
-
-
-
-

Whenever an HTTPS port is found, it takes precedence over the HTTP port.

-
-
-
-
-
Running stubs
-
-

This section describes how to run stubs. It contains the following topics:

-
-
- -
-
-
HTTP Stubs
-
-

Stubs are defined in JSON documents, whose syntax is defined in WireMock documentation

-
-
-

The following example defines a stub in JSON:

-
-
-
-
-
-
{
-    "request": {
-        "method": "GET",
-        "url": "/ping"
-    },
-    "response": {
-        "status": 200,
-        "body": "pong",
-        "headers": {
-            "Content-Type": "text/plain"
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Viewing Registered Mappings
-
-

Every stubbed collaborator exposes a list of defined mappings under the __/admin/ endpoint.

-
-
-

You can also use the mappingsOutputFolder property to dump the mappings to files. -For the annotation-based approach, it would resembling the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids="a.b.c:loanIssuance,a.b.c:fraudDetectionServer",
-mappingsOutputFolder = "target/outputmappings/")
-
-
-
-
-
-

For the JUnit approach, it resembles the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@ClassRule @Shared StubRunnerRule rule = new StubRunnerRule()
-            .repoRoot("https://some_url")
-            .downloadStub("a.b.c", "loanIssuance")
-            .downloadStub("a.b.c:fraudDetectionServer")
-            .withMappingsOutputFolder("target/outputmappings")
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then, if you check out the target/outputmappings folder, you would see the following structure;

-
-
-
-
-
-
.
-├── fraudDetectionServer_13705
-└── loanIssuance_12255
-
-
-
-

That means that there were two stubs registered. fraudDetectionServer was registered at port 13705 -and loanIssuance at port 12255. If we take a look at one of the files, we would see (for WireMock) -the mappings available for the given server:

-
-
-
-
-
-
[{
-  "id" : "f9152eb9-bf77-4c38-8289-90be7d10d0d7",
-  "request" : {
-    "url" : "/name",
-    "method" : "GET"
-  },
-  "response" : {
-    "status" : 200,
-    "body" : "fraudDetectionServer"
-  },
-  "uuid" : "f9152eb9-bf77-4c38-8289-90be7d10d0d7"
-},
-...
-]
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Messaging Stubs
-
-

Depending on the provided Stub Runner dependency and the DSL, the messaging routes are automatically set up.

-
-
-

3.5.4. Stub Runner JUnit Rule and Stub Runner JUnit5 Extension

-
-

Stub Runner comes with a JUnit rule that lets you can download and run stubs for a given -group and artifact ID, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@ClassRule
-public static StubRunnerRule rule = new StubRunnerRule().repoRoot(repoRoot())
-        .stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE)
-        .downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs",
-                "loanIssuance")
-        .downloadStub(
-                "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer");
-
-@BeforeClass
-@AfterClass
-public static void setupProps() {
-    System.clearProperty("stubrunner.repository.root");
-    System.clearProperty("stubrunner.classifier");
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

A StubRunnerExtension is also available for JUnit 5. StubRunnerRule and -StubRunnerExtension work in a very similar fashion. After the rule or extension is -executed, Stub Runner connects to your Maven repository and, for the given list of -dependencies, tries to:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Download them

    -
    • -
  • -

    Cache them locally

    -
    • -
  • -

    Unzip them to a temporary folder

    -
    • -
  • -

    Start a WireMock server for each Maven dependency on a random port from the provided -range of ports or the provided port

    -
    • -
  • -

    Feed the WireMock server with all JSON files that are valid WireMock definitions

    -
    • -
  • -

    Send messages (remember to pass an implementation of MessageVerifier interface)

    -
    • -
-
-
-

Stub Runner uses the Eclipse Aether mechanism to download the Maven dependencies. -Check their docs for more information.

-
-
-

Since the StubRunnerRule and StubRunnerExtension implement the StubFinder they let -you find the started stubs, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner;

-    URL findStubUrl(String groupId, String artifactId) throws StubNotFoundException;
-
-    /**

-     * {@code artifactId}.

-     * @return URL of a running stub or throws exception if not found
-     * @throws StubNotFoundException in case of not finding a stub

-    URL findStubUrl(String ivyNotation) throws StubNotFoundException;
-
-    /**
-     * @return all running stubs
-     */
-    RunningStubs findAllRunningStubs();
-

See the Common Properties for JUnit and Spring for more information on -how to apply global configuration of Stub Runner.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -To use the JUnit rule or JUnit 5 extension together with messaging, you have to provide an implementation of the -MessageVerifier interface to the rule builder (for example, rule.messageVerifier(new MyMessageVerifier())). -If you do not do this, then, whenever you try to send a message, an exception is thrown. -
-
-
-
Maven Settings
-
-

The stub downloader honors Maven settings for a different local repository folder. -Authentication details for repositories and profiles are currently not taken into account, -so you need to specify it by using the properties mentioned above.

-
-
-
-
Providing Fixed Ports
-
-

You can also run your stubs on fixed ports. You can do it in two different ways. -One is to pass it in the properties, and the other is to use the fluent API of -JUnit rule.

-
-
-
-
Fluent API
-
-

When using the StubRunnerRule or StubRunnerExtension, you can add a stub to download -and then pass the port for the last downloaded stub. The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@ClassRule
-public static StubRunnerRule rule = new StubRunnerRule().repoRoot(repoRoot())
-        .stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE)
-        .downloadStub("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs",
-                "loanIssuance")
-        .withPort(12345).downloadStub(
-                "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer:12346");
-
-@BeforeClass
-@AfterClass
-public static void setupProps() {
-    System.clearProperty("stubrunner.repository.root");
-    System.clearProperty("stubrunner.classifier");
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

For the preceding example, the following test is valid:

-
-
-
-
-
-
then(rule.findStubUrl("loanIssuance"))
-        .isEqualTo(URI.create("http://localhost:12345").toURL());
-then(rule.findStubUrl("fraudDetectionServer"))
-        .isEqualTo(URI.create("http://localhost:12346").toURL());
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Stub Runner with Spring
-
-

Stub Runner with Spring sets up Spring configuration of the Stub Runner project.

-
-
-

By providing a list of stubs inside your configuration file, Stub Runner automatically downloads -and registers in WireMock the selected stubs.

-
-
-

If you want to find the URL of your stubbed dependency, you can autowire the StubFinder interface and use -its methods, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@ContextConfiguration(classes = Config, loader = SpringBootContextLoader)
-@SpringBootTest(properties = [" stubrunner.cloud.enabled=false",
-        'foo=${stubrunner.runningstubs.fraudDetectionServer.port}',
-        'fooWithGroup=${stubrunner.runningstubs.org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs.fraudDetectionServer.port}'])
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner(mappingsOutputFolder = "target/outputmappings/",
-        httpServerStubConfigurer = HttpsForFraudDetection)
-@ActiveProfiles("test")
-class StubRunnerConfigurationSpec extends Specification {
-
-    @Autowired
-    StubFinder stubFinder
-    @Autowired
-    Environment environment
-    @StubRunnerPort("fraudDetectionServer")
-    int fraudDetectionServerPort
-    @StubRunnerPort("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer")
-    int fraudDetectionServerPortWithGroupId
-    @Value('${foo}')
-    Integer foo
-
-    @BeforeClass
-    @AfterClass
-    void setupProps() {
-        System.clearProperty("stubrunner.repository.root")
-        System.clearProperty("stubrunner.classifier")
-        WireMockHttpServerStubAccessor.clear()
-    }
-
-    def 'should mark all ports as random'() {
-        expect:
-            WireMockHttpServerStubAccessor.everyPortRandom()
-    }
-

-    }
-
-    def 'should dump all mappings to a file'() {
-        when:
-            def url = stubFinder.findStubUrl("fraudDetectionServer")
-        then:
-            new File("target/outputmappings/", "fraudDetectionServer_${url.port}").exists()
-    }
-
-    @Configuration
-    @EnableAutoConfiguration
-    static class Config {}
-
-    @CompileStatic
-    static class HttpsForFraudDetection extends WireMockHttpServerStubConfigurer {
-
-        private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(HttpsForFraudDetection)
-
-        @Override
-        WireMockConfiguration configure(WireMockConfiguration httpStubConfiguration, HttpServerStubConfiguration httpServerStubConfiguration) {
-            if (httpServerStubConfiguration.stubConfiguration.artifactId == "fraudDetectionServer") {
-                int httpsPort = SocketUtils.findAvailableTcpPort()
-                log.info("Will set HTTPs port [" + httpsPort + "] for fraud detection server")
-                return httpStubConfiguration
-                        .httpsPort(httpsPort)
-            }
-            return httpStubConfiguration
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Doing so depends on the following configuration file:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  repositoryRoot: classpath:m2repo/repository/
-  ids:
-    - org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance
-    - org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer
-    - org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:bootService
-  stubs-mode: remote
-
-
-
-
-
-

Instead of using the properties, you can also use the properties inside the @AutoConfigureStubRunner. -The following example achieves the same result by setting values on the annotation:

-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(
-        ids = ["org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance",
-                "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer",
-                "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:bootService"],
-        stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE,
-        repositoryRoot = "classpath:m2repo/repository/")
-
-
-
-

Stub Runner Spring registers environment variables in the following manner -for every registered WireMock server. The following example shows Stub Runner IDs for -com.example:thing1 and com.example:thing2:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    stubrunner.runningstubs.thing1.port

    -
    • -
  • -

    stubrunner.runningstubs.com.example.thing1.port

    -
    • -
  • -

    stubrunner.runningstubs.thing2.port

    -
    • -
  • -

    stubrunner.runningstubs.com.example.thing2.port

    -
    • -
-
-
-

You can reference these values in your code.

-
-
-

You can also use the @StubRunnerPort annotation to inject the port of a running stub. -The value of the annotation can be the groupid:artifactid or just the artifactid. -The following example works shows Stub Runner IDs for -com.example:thing1 and com.example:thing2.

-
-
-
-
-
-
@StubRunnerPort("thing1")
-int thing1Port;
-@StubRunnerPort("com.example:thing2")
-int thing2Port;
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.5.5. Stub Runner Spring Cloud

-
-

Stub Runner can integrate with Spring Cloud.

-
-
-

For real life examples, see:

-
-
- -
-
-
Stubbing Service Discovery
-
-

The most important feature of Stub Runner Spring Cloud is the fact that it stubs:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    DiscoveryClient

    -
    • -
  • -

    Ribbon ServerList

    -
    • -
-
-
-

That means that, regardless of whether you use Zookeeper, Consul, Eureka, or anything -else, you do not need that in your tests. We are starting WireMock instances of your -dependencies and we are telling your application, whenever you use Feign, to load a -balanced RestTemplate or DiscoveryClient directly, to call those stubbed servers -instead of calling the real Service Discovery tool.

-
-
-

For example, the following test passes:

-
-
-
-
-
-
def 'should make service discovery work'() {
-    expect: 'WireMocks are running'
-        "${stubFinder.findStubUrl('loanIssuance').toString()}/name".toURL().text == 'loanIssuance'
-        "${stubFinder.findStubUrl('fraudDetectionServer').toString()}/name".toURL().text == 'fraudDetectionServer'
-    and: 'Stubs can be reached via load service discovery'
-        restTemplate.getForObject('http://loanIssuance/name', String) == 'loanIssuance'
-        restTemplate.getForObject('http://someNameThatShouldMapFraudDetectionServer/name', String) == 'fraudDetectionServer'
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Note that the preceding example requires the following configuration file:

-
-
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  idsToServiceIds:
-    ivyNotation: someValueInsideYourCode
-    fraudDetectionServer: someNameThatShouldMapFraudDetectionServer
-
-
-
-
-
-
Test Profiles and Service Discovery
-
-

In your integration tests, you typically do not want to call either a discovery service (such as Eureka) -or Config Server. That is why you create an additional test configuration in which you want to disable -these features.

-
-
-

Due to certain limitations of spring-cloud-commons, -to achieve this, you have to disable these properties -in a static block such as the following example (for Eureka):

-
-
-
-
-
-
    //Hack to work around https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/issues/156
-    static {
-        System.setProperty("eureka.client.enabled", "false");
-        System.setProperty("spring.cloud.config.failFast", "false");
-    }
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Additional Configuration
-
-

You can match the artifactId of the stub with the name of your application by using the stubrunner.idsToServiceIds: map. -You can disable Stub Runner Ribbon support by setting stubrunner.cloud.ribbon.enabled to false -You can disable Stub Runner support by setting stubrunner.cloud.enabled to false

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -By default, all service discovery is stubbed. This means that, regardless of whether you have -an existing DiscoveryClient, its results are ignored. However, if you want to reuse it, you can set - stubrunner.cloud.delegate.enabled to true, and then your existing DiscoveryClient results are - merged with the stubbed ones. -
-
-
-

The default Maven configuration used by Stub Runner can be tweaked either -by setting the following system properties or by setting the corresponding environment variables:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

3.5.6. Using the Stub Runner Boot Application

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner Boot is a Spring Boot application that exposes REST endpoints to -trigger the messaging labels and to access WireMock servers.

-
-
-

One of the use cases is to run some smoke (end-to-end) tests on a deployed application. -You can check out the Spring Cloud Pipelines -project for more information.

-
-
-
Stub Runner Server
-
-

To use the Stub Runner Server, add the following dependency:

-
-
-
-
-
-
compile "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-stub-runner"
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then annotate a class with @EnableStubRunnerServer, build a fat jar, and it is ready to work.

-
-
-

For the properties, see the Stub Runner Spring section.

-
-
-
-
Stub Runner Server Fat Jar
-
-

You can download a standalone JAR from Maven (for example, for version 2.0.1.RELEASE) -by running the following commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ wget -O stub-runner.jar 'https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/springframework/cloud/spring-cloud-contract-stub-runner-boot/2.0.1.RELEASE/spring-cloud-contract-stub-runner-boot-2.0.1.RELEASE.jar'
-$ java -jar stub-runner.jar --stubrunner.ids=... --stubrunner.repositoryRoot=...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Spring Cloud CLI
-
-

Starting from the 1.4.0.RELEASE version of the Spring Cloud CLI -project, you can start Stub Runner Boot by running spring cloud stubrunner.

-
-
-

In order to pass the configuration, you can create a stubrunner.yml file in the current working directory, -in a subdirectory called config, or in ~/.spring-cloud. The file could resemble the following -example for running stubs installed locally:

-
-
-
Example 2. stubrunner.yml
-
-
-
-
stubrunner:
-  stubsMode: LOCAL
-  ids:
-    - com.example:beer-api-producer:+:9876
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then you can call spring cloud stubrunner from your terminal window to start -the Stub Runner server. It is available at port 8750.

-
-
-
-
Endpoints
-
-

Stub Runner Boot offers two endpoints:

-
-
- -
-
-
HTTP
-
-

For HTTP, Stub Runner Boot makes the following endpoints available:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    GET /stubs: Returns a list of all running stubs in ivy:integer notation

    -
    • -
  • -

    GET /stubs/{ivy}: Returns a port for the given ivy notation (when calling the endpoint ivy can also be artifactId only)

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-
Messaging
-
-

For Messaging, Stub Runner Boot makes the following endpoints available:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    GET /triggers: Returns a list of all running labels in ivy : [ label1, label2 …​] notation

    -
    • -
  • -

    POST /triggers/{label}: Runs a trigger with label

    -
    • -
  • -

    POST /triggers/{ivy}/{label}: Runs a trigger with a label for the given ivy notation -(when calling the endpoint, ivy can also be artifactId only)

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-
-
Example
-
-

The following example shows typical usage of Stub Runner Boot:

-
-
-
-
@ContextConfiguration(classes = StubRunnerBoot, loader = SpringBootContextLoader)
-@SpringBootTest(properties = "spring.cloud.zookeeper.enabled=false")
-@ActiveProfiles("test")

Stub Runner Boot with Service Discovery
-
-

One way to use Stub Runner Boot is to use it as a feed of stubs for “smoke tests”. What does that mean? -Assume that you do not want to deploy 50 microservices to a test environment in order -to see whether your application works. You have already executed a suite of tests during the build process, -but you would also like to ensure that the packaging of your application works. You can -deploy your application to an environment, start it, and run a couple of tests on it to see whether -it works. We can call those tests “smoke tests”, because their purpose is to check only a handful -of testing scenarios.

-
-
-

The problem with this approach is thatm if you use microservices, you most likely also -use a service discovery tool. Stub Runner Boot lets you solve this issue by starting the -required stubs and registering them in a service discovery tool. Consider the following example of -such a setup with Eureka (assume that Eureka is already running):

-
-
-
-
-
-
@SpringBootApplication
-@EnableStubRunnerServer
-@EnableEurekaClient
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner
-public class StubRunnerBootEurekaExample {
-
-    public static void main(String[] args) {
-        SpringApplication.run(StubRunnerBootEurekaExample.class, args);
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

We want to start a Stub Runner Boot server (@EnableStubRunnerServer), enable the Eureka client (@EnableEurekaClient), -and have the stub runner feature turned on (@AutoConfigureStubRunner).

-
-
-

Now assume that we want to start this application so that the stubs get automatically registered. -We can do so by running the application with java -jar ${SYSTEM_PROPS} stub-runner-boot-eureka-example.jar, where -${SYSTEM_PROPS} contains the following list of properties:

-
-
-
-
-
-
* -Dstubrunner.repositoryRoot=https://repo.spring.io/snapshot (1)
-* -Dstubrunner.cloud.stubbed.discovery.enabled=false (2)
-* -Dstubrunner.ids=org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:loanIssuance,org.
-* springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:fraudDetectionServer,org.springframework.
-* cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:bootService (3)
-* -Dstubrunner.idsToServiceIds.fraudDetectionServer=
-* someNameThatShouldMapFraudDetectionServer (4)
-*
-* (1) - we tell Stub Runner where all the stubs reside (2) - we don't want the default
-* behaviour where the discovery service is stubbed. That's why the stub registration will
-* be picked (3) - we provide a list of stubs to download (4) - we provide a list of
-
-
-
-
-
-

That way, your deployed application can send requests to started WireMock servers through service -discovery. Most likely, points 1 through 3 could be set by default in application.yml, because they are not -likely to change. That way, you can provide only the list of stubs to download whenever you start -the Stub Runner Boot.

-
-
-
-
-

3.5.7. Consumer-Driven Contracts: Stubs Per Consumer

-
-

There are cases in which two consumers of the same endpoint want to have two different responses.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -This approach also lets you immediately know which consumer uses which part of your API. -You can remove part of a response that your API produces and see which of your autogenerated tests -fails. If none fails, you can safely delete that part of the response, because nobody uses it. -
-
-
-

Consider the following example of a contract defined for the producer called producer, -which has two consumers (foo-consumer and bar-consumer):

-
-
-
-
-
Consumer foo-service
-
-
request {
-   url '/foo'
-   method GET()
-}
-response {
-    status OK()
-    body(
-       foo: "foo"
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
Consumer bar-service
-
-
request {
-   url '/bar'
-   method GET()
-}
-response {
-    status OK()
-    body(
-       bar: "bar"
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You cannot produce two different responses for the same request. That is why you can properly package the -contracts and then profit from the stubsPerConsumer feature.

-
-
-

On the producer side, the consumers can have a folder that contains contracts related only to them. -By setting the stubrunner.stubs-per-consumer flag to true, we no longer register all stubs but only those that -correspond to the consumer application’s name. In other words, we scan the path of every stub and, -if it contains a subfolder with name of the consumer in the path, only then is it registered.

-
-
-

On the foo producer side the contracts would look like this

-
-
-
-
.
-└── contracts
-    ├── bar-consumer
-    │   ├── bookReturnedForBar.groovy
-    │   └── shouldCallBar.groovy
-    └── foo-consumer
-        ├── bookReturnedForFoo.groovy
-        └── shouldCallFoo.groovy
-
-
-
-

The bar-consumer consumer can either set the spring.application.name or the stubrunner.consumer-name to bar-consumer -Alternatively, you can set the test as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@ContextConfiguration(classes = Config, loader = SpringBootContextLoader)
-@SpringBootTest(properties = ["spring.application.name=bar-consumer"])
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:producerWithMultipleConsumers",
-        repositoryRoot = "classpath:m2repo/repository/",
-        stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE,
-        stubsPerConsumer = true)
-@ActiveProfiles("streamconsumer")
-class StubRunnerStubsPerConsumerSpec extends Specification {
-...
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then only the stubs registered under a path that contains bar-consumer in its name (that is, those from the -src/test/resources/contracts/bar-consumer/some/contracts/…​ folder) are allowed to be referenced.

-
-
-

You can also set the consumer name explicitly, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@ContextConfiguration(classes = Config, loader = SpringBootContextLoader)
-@SpringBootTest
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs:producerWithMultipleConsumers",
-        repositoryRoot = "classpath:m2repo/repository/",
-        consumerName = "foo-consumer",
-        stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE,
-        stubsPerConsumer = true)
-@ActiveProfiles("streamconsumer")
-class StubRunnerStubsPerConsumerWithConsumerNameSpec extends Specification {
-...
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then only the stubs registered under a path that contains the foo-consumer in its name (that is, those from the -src/test/resources/contracts/foo-consumer/some/contracts/…​ folder) are allowed to be referenced.

-
-
-

See issue 224 for more -information about the reasons behind this change.

-
-
-
-

3.5.8. Fetching Stubs or Contract Definitions From A Location

-
-

Instead of picking the stubs or contract definitions from -Artifactory / Nexus or Git, one can just want to point to -a location on drive or classpath. This can be especially useful in a multimodule project, where one module wants -to reuse stubs or contracts from another module without -the need to actually install those in a local maven -repository ot commit those changes to Git.

-
-
-

In order to achieve this it’s enough to use the stubs:// -protocol when the repository root parameter is set either -in Stub Runner or in a Spring Cloud Contract plugin.

-
-
-

In this example the producer project has been successfully -built and stubs were generated under the target/stubs folder. As a consumer one can setup the Stub Runner to pick the stubs from that location using the stubs:// protocol.

-
-
-
-
-
Annotation
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(
-stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE,
-        repositoryRoot = "stubs://file://location/to/the/producer/target/stubs/",
-        ids = "com.example:some-producer")
-
-
-
-
JUnit 4 Rule
-
-
@Rule
-    public StubRunnerRule rule = new StubRunnerRule()
-            .downloadStub("com.example:some-producer")
-            .repoRoot("stubs://file://location/to/the/producer/target/stubs/")
-            .stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE);
-
-
-
-
JUnit 5 Extension
-
-
@RegisterExtension
-    public StubRunnerExtension stubRunnerExtension = new StubRunnerExtension()
-            .downloadStub("com.example:some-producer")
-            .repoRoot("stubs://file://location/to/the/producer/target/stubs/")
-            .stubsMode(StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE);
-
-
-
-
-
-

Contracts and stubs may be stored in a location, where each producer has its own, dedicated folder for contracts and stub mappings. Under that folder each consumer can have its own setup. To make Stub Runner find the dedicated folder from the provided ids one can pass a property stubs.find-producer=true or a system property stubrunner.stubs.find-producer=true .

3.5.9. Generating Stubs at Runtime

-
-

As a consumer, you might not want to wait for the producer to finish its implementation and then publish their stubs. A solution to this problem can be generation of stubs at runtime.

-
-
-

As a producer, when a contract is defined, you are required to make the generated tests pass in order for the stubs to be published. There are cases where you would like to unblock the consumers so that they can fetch the stubs before your tests are actually passing. In this case you should set such contracts as in progress. You can read more about this under the Contracts in Progress section. That way your tests will not be generated, but the stubs will.

-
-
-

As a consumer, you can toggle a switch to generate stubs at runtime. Stub Runner will ignore all the existing stub mappings and will generate new ones for all the contract definitions. Another option is to pass the stubrunner.generate-stubs system property. Below you can find an example of such setup.

-
-
-
-
-

@AutoConfigureStubRunner(
-stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE,

3.5.10. Fail On No Stubs

-
-

By default Stub Runner will fail if no stubs were found. In order to change that behaviour, just set to false the failOnNoStubs property in the annotation or call the withFailOnNoStubs(false) method on a JUnit Rule or Extension.

stubrunner.stubsPerConsumer

false

Set to true if you want to use different stubs for -each consumer instead of registering all stubs for every consumer.

stubrunner.consumerName

If you want to use a stub for each consumer and want to -override the consumer name, change this value.

-
-
-
Stub Runner Stubs IDs
-
-

You can set the stubs to download in the stubrunner.ids system property. They -use the following pattern:

-
-
-
-
-
-
groupId:artifactId:version:classifier:port
-
-
-
-
-
-

Note that version, classifier, and port are optional.

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    If you do not provide the port, a random one is picked.

    -
    • -
  • -

    If you do not provide the classifier, the default is used. (Note that you can -pass an empty classifier this way: groupId:artifactId:version:).

    -
    • -
  • -

    If you do not provide the version, then + is passed, and the latest one is -downloaded.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

port means the port of the WireMock server.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Starting with version 1.0.4, you can provide a range of versions that you -would like the Stub Runner to take into consideration. You can read more about the -Aether versioning -ranges here. -

3.6. Spring Cloud Contract WireMock

-
-

The Spring Cloud Contract WireMock modules let you use WireMock in a -Spring Boot application. Check out the -samples -for more details.

-
-
-

If you have a Spring Boot application that uses Tomcat as an embedded server (which is -the default with spring-boot-starter-web), you can add -spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner to your classpath and add @AutoConfigureWireMock -to use Wiremock in your tests. Wiremock runs as a stub server, and you -can register stub behavior by using a Java API or by using static JSON declarations as part of -your test. The following code shows an example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
-@AutoConfigureWireMock(port = 0)
-public class WiremockForDocsTests {
-
-    // A service that calls out over HTTP
-    @Autowired
-    private Service service;
-
-    @BeforeEach
-    public void setup() {
-        this.service.setBase("http://localhost:"
-                + this.environment.getProperty("wiremock.server.port"));
-    }
-
-    // Using the WireMock APIs in the normal way:
-    @Test
-    public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-        // Stubbing WireMock
-        stubFor(get(urlEqualTo("/resource")).willReturn(aResponse()
-                .withHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain").withBody("Hello World!")));
-        // We're asserting if WireMock responded properly
-        assertThat(this.service.go()).isEqualTo("Hello World!");
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

To start the stub server on a different port, use (for example), -@AutoConfigureWireMock(port=9999). For a random port, use a value of 0. The stub -server port can be bound in the test application context with the "wiremock.server.port" -property. Using @AutoConfigureWireMock adds a bean of type WiremockConfiguration to -your test application context, where it is cached between methods and classes -having the same context. The same is true for Spring integration tests. Also, you can -inject a bean of type WireMockServer into your test. -The registered WireMock server is reset after each test class, however, if you need to reset it after each test method, just set the wiremock.reset-mappings-after-each-test property to true.

-
-
-

3.6.1. Registering Stubs Automatically

-
-

If you use @AutoConfigureWireMock, it registers WireMock JSON stubs from the file -system or classpath (by default, from file:src/test/resources/mappings). You can -customize the locations by using the stubs attribute in the annotation, which can be an -Ant-style resource pattern or a directory. In the case of a directory, */.json is -appended. The following code shows an example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest
-@AutoConfigureWireMock(stubs="classpath:/stubs")
-public class WiremockImportApplicationTests {
-
-    @Autowired
-    private Service service;
-
-    @Test
-    public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-        assertThat(this.service.go()).isEqualTo("Hello World!");
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Actually, WireMock always loads mappings from src/test/resources/mappings as -well as the custom locations in the stubs attribute. To change this behavior, you can -also specify a files root, as described in the next section of this document. -
-
-
-

If you use Spring Cloud Contract’s default stub jars, your -stubs are stored in the /META-INF/group-id/artifact-id/versions/mappings/ folder. -If you want to register all stubs from that location, from all embedded JARs, you can use -the following syntax:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureWireMock(port = 0, stubs = "classpath*:/META-INF/**/mappings/**/*.json")
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

3.6.2. Using Files to Specify the Stub Bodies

-
-

WireMock can read response bodies from files on the classpath or the file system. In the -case of the file system, you can see in the JSON DSL that the response has a bodyFileName instead of a -(literal) body. The files are resolved relative to a root directory (by default, -src/test/resources/__files). To customize this location, you can set the files -attribute in the @AutoConfigureWireMock annotation to the location of the parent -directory (in other words, __files is a subdirectory). You can use Spring resource -notation to refer to file:…​ or classpath:…​ locations. Generic URLs are not -supported. A list of values can be given — in which case, WireMock resolves the first file -that exists when it needs to find a response body.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -When you configure the files root, it also affects the -automatic loading of stubs, because they come from the root location -in a subdirectory called mappings. The value of files has no -effect on the stubs loaded explicitly from the stubs attribute. -
-
-
-
-

3.6.3. Alternative: Using JUnit Rules

-
-

For a more conventional WireMock experience, you can use JUnit @Rules to start and stop -the server. To do so, use the WireMockSpring convenience class to obtain an Options -instance, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
-public class WiremockForDocsClassRuleTests {
-
-    // Start WireMock on some dynamic port
-    // for some reason `dynamicPort()` is not working properly
-    public static WireMockServer wiremock = new WireMockServer(WireMockSpring.options().dynamicPort());
-
-    @BeforeAll
-    static void setupClass() {
-        wiremock.start();
-    }
-
-    @AfterEach
-    void after() {
-        wiremock.resetAll();
-    }
-
-    @AfterAll
-    static void clean() {
-        wiremock.shutdown();
-    }
-
-    // A service that calls out over HTTP to wiremock's port
-    @Autowired
-    private Service service;
-
-    @BeforeEach
-    public void setup() {
-        this.service.setBase("http://localhost:" + wiremock.port());
-    }
-
-    // Using the WireMock APIs in the normal way:
-    @Test
-    public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-        // Stubbing WireMock
-        wiremock.stubFor(get(urlEqualTo("/resource")).willReturn(aResponse()
-                .withHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain").withBody("Hello World!")));
-        // We're asserting if WireMock responded properly
-        assertThat(this.service.go()).isEqualTo("Hello World!");
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The @ClassRule means that the server shuts down after all the methods in this class -have been run.

-
-
-
-

3.6.4. Relaxed SSL Validation for Rest Template

-
-

WireMock lets you stub a “secure” server with an https URL protocol. If your -application wants to contact that stub server in an integration test, it will find that -the SSL certificates are not valid (the usual problem with self-installed certificates). -The best option is often to re-configure the client to use http. If that is not an -option, you can ask Spring to configure an HTTP client that ignores SSL validation errors -(do so only for tests, of course).

-
-
-

To make this work with minimum fuss, you need to use the Spring Boot -RestTemplateBuilder in your application, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@Bean
-public RestTemplate restTemplate(RestTemplateBuilder builder) {
-    return builder.build();
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You need RestTemplateBuilder because the builder is passed through callbacks to -initialize it, so the SSL validation can be set up in the client at that point. This -happens automatically in your test if you use the @AutoConfigureWireMock -annotation or the stub runner. If you use the JUnit @Rule approach, you need to add the -@AutoConfigureHttpClient annotation as well, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest("app.baseUrl=https://localhost:6443")
-@AutoConfigureHttpClient
-public class WiremockHttpsServerApplicationTests {
-
-    @ClassRule
-    public static WireMockClassRule wiremock = new WireMockClassRule(
-            WireMockSpring.options().httpsPort(6443));
-...
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

If you use spring-boot-starter-test, you have the Apache HTTP client on the -classpath, and it is selected by the RestTemplateBuilder and configured to ignore SSL -errors. If you use the default java.net client, you do not need the annotation (but it -does no harm). There is currently no support for other clients, but it may be added -in future releases.

-
-
-

To disable the custom RestTemplateBuilder, set the wiremock.rest-template-ssl-enabled -property to false.

-
-
-
-

3.6.5. WireMock and Spring MVC Mocks

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract provides a convenience class that can load JSON WireMock stubs into -a Spring MockRestServiceServer. The following code shows an example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.NONE)
-public class WiremockForDocsMockServerApplicationTests {
-
-    @Autowired
-    private RestTemplate restTemplate;
-
-    @Autowired
-    private Service service;
-
-    @Test
-    public void contextLoads() throws Exception {
-        // will read stubs classpath
-        MockRestServiceServer server = WireMockRestServiceServer.with(this.restTemplate)
-                .baseUrl("https://example.org").stubs("classpath:/stubs/resource.json")
-                .build();
-        // We're asserting if WireMock responded properly
-        assertThat(this.service.go()).isEqualTo("Hello World");
-        server.verify();
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

The baseUrl value is prepended to all mock calls, and the stubs() method takes a stub -path resource pattern as an argument. In the preceding example, the stub defined at -/stubs/resource.json is loaded into the mock server. If the RestTemplate is asked to -visit example.org/, it gets the responses as being declared at that URL. More -than one stub pattern can be specified, and each one can be a directory (for a recursive -list of all .json), a fixed filename (as in the preceding example), or an Ant-style -pattern. The JSON format is the normal WireMock format, which you can read about at the -WireMock website.

-
-
-

Currently, the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier supports Tomcat, Jetty, and Undertow as -Spring Boot embedded servers, and Wiremock itself has “native” support for a particular -version of Jetty (currently 9.2). To use the native Jetty, you need to add the native -Wiremock dependencies and exclude the Spring Boot container (if there is one).

-
-
-
-
-

3.7. Build Tools Integration

-
-

You can run test generation and stub execution in various ways. The most common ones are -as follows:

4. Maven Project

-
-
-

To learn how to set up the Maven project for Spring Cloud Contract Verifier, read the -following sections:

-
-
- -
-
-

You can also check the plugin’s documentation here.

-
-
-

4.1. Adding the Maven Plugin

-
-

Add the Spring Cloud Contract BOM in a fashion similar to the following:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<dependencyManagement>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
-            <version>${spring-cloud-release.version}</version>
-            <type>pom</type>
-            <scope>import</scope>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</dependencyManagement>
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, add the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier Maven plugin, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
            <plugin>
-                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-                <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-                <extensions>true</extensions>
-                <configuration>
-                    <packageWithBaseClasses>com.example.fraud</packageWithBaseClasses>
-<!--                    <convertToYaml>true</convertToYaml>-->
-                </configuration>
-                <!-- if additional dependencies are needed e.g. for Pact -->
-                <dependencies>
-                    <dependency>
-                        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-                        <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-pact</artifactId>
-                        <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-                    </dependency>
-                </dependencies>
-            </plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can read more in the -spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin/index.html[Spring -Cloud Contract Maven Plugin Documentation].

-
-
-

Sometimes, regardless of the picked IDE, you can see that the target/generated-test-source folder is not visible on the IDE’s classpath. To ensure that it’s always there, you can add the following entry to your pom.xml

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
-                <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-                <executions>
-                    <execution>
-                        <id>add-source</id>
-                        <phase>generate-test-sources</phase>
-                        <goals>
-                            <goal>add-test-source</goal>
-                        </goals>
-                        <configuration>
-                            <sources>
-                                <source>${project.build.directory}/generated-test-sources/contracts/</source>
-                            </sources>
-                        </configuration>
-                    </execution>
-                </executions>
-            </plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

4.2. Maven and Rest Assured 2.0

-
-

By default, Rest Assured 3.x is added to the classpath. However, you can use Rest -Assured 2.x by adding it to the plugins classpath, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <packageWithBaseClasses>com.example</packageWithBaseClasses>
-    </configuration>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-verifier</artifactId>
-            <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-        </dependency>
-        <dependency>
-           <groupId>com.jayway.restassured</groupId>
-           <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
-           <version>2.5.0</version>
-           <scope>compile</scope>
-        </dependency>
-        <dependency>
-           <groupId>com.jayway.restassured</groupId>
-           <artifactId>spring-mock-mvc</artifactId>
-           <version>2.5.0</version>
-           <scope>compile</scope>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</plugin>
-
-<dependencies>
-    <!-- all dependencies -->
-    <!-- you can exclude rest-assured from spring-cloud-contract-verifier -->
-    <dependency>
-       <groupId>com.jayway.restassured</groupId>
-       <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
-       <version>2.5.0</version>
-       <scope>test</scope>
-    </dependency>
-    <dependency>
-       <groupId>com.jayway.restassured</groupId>
-       <artifactId>spring-mock-mvc</artifactId>
-       <version>2.5.0</version>
-       <scope>test</scope>
-    </dependency>
-</dependencies>
-
-
-
-
-
-

That way, the plugin automatically sees that Rest Assured 2.x is present on the classpath -and modifies the imports accordingly.

-
-
-
-

4.3. Using Snapshot and Milestone Versions for Maven

-
-

To use Snapshot and Milestone versions, you have to add the following section to your -pom.xml:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<repositories>
-    <repository>
-        <id>spring-snapshots</id>
-        <name>Spring Snapshots</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/snapshot</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>true</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </repository>
-    <repository>
-        <id>spring-milestones</id>
-        <name>Spring Milestones</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>false</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </repository>
-    <repository>
-        <id>spring-releases</id>
-        <name>Spring Releases</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/release</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>false</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </repository>
-</repositories>
-<pluginRepositories>
-    <pluginRepository>
-        <id>spring-snapshots</id>
-        <name>Spring Snapshots</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/snapshot</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>true</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </pluginRepository>
-    <pluginRepository>
-        <id>spring-milestones</id>
-        <name>Spring Milestones</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>false</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </pluginRepository>
-    <pluginRepository>
-        <id>spring-releases</id>
-        <name>Spring Releases</name>
-        <url>https://repo.spring.io/release</url>
-        <snapshots>
-            <enabled>false</enabled>
-        </snapshots>
-    </pluginRepository>
-</pluginRepositories>
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

4.4. Adding stubs

-
-

By default, Spring Cloud Contract Verifier looks for stubs in the -src/test/resources/contracts directory. The directory containing stub definitions is -treated as a class name, and each stub definition is treated as a single test. We assume -that it contains at least one directory to be used as the test class name. If there is more -than one level of nested directories, all except the last one is used as the package name. -Consider the following structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
src/test/resources/contracts/myservice/shouldCreateUser.groovy
-src/test/resources/contracts/myservice/shouldReturnUser.groovy
-
-
-
-
-
-

Given that structure, Spring Cloud Contract Verifier creates a test class named -defaultBasePackage.MyService with two methods:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    shouldCreateUser()

    -
    • -
  • -

    shouldReturnUser()

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

4.5. Run plugin

-
-

The generateTests plugin goal is assigned to be invoked in the phase called -generate-test-sources. If you want it to be part of your build process, you need not do -anything. If you want only to generate tests, invoke the generateTests goal.

-
-
-

If you want to run stubs via Maven it’s enough to call the run goal with the stubs to run as the spring.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs system property as follows:

-
-
-
-
-

mvn org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin:run \ --Dspring.cloud.contract.verifier.stubs="com.acme:service-name"

-
-
-
-
-
-

4.6. Configure plugin

-
-

To change the default configuration, you can add a configuration section to the plugin -definition or the execution definition, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <goals>
-                <goal>convert</goal>
-                <goal>generateStubs</goal>
-                <goal>generateTests</goal>
-            </goals>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-    <configuration>
-        <basePackageForTests>org.springframework.cloud.verifier.twitter.place</basePackageForTests>
-        <baseClassForTests>org.springframework.cloud.verifier.twitter.place.BaseMockMvcSpec</baseClassForTests>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

4.7. Configuration Options

    testMode: Defines the mode for acceptance tests. By default, the mode is MockMvc, -which is based on Spring’s MockMvc. You can also change it to WebTestClient, JaxRsClient, or -Explicit (for real HTTP calls).

    -
    • -
  • -

    basePackageForTests: Specifies the base package for all generated tests. If not set, -the value is picked from the package of baseClassForTests and from packageWithBaseClasses. -If neither of these values are set, the value is set to -org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.tests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    ruleClassForTests: Specifies a rule that should be added to the generated test -classes.

    -
    • -
  • -

    baseClassForTests: Creates a base class for all generated tests. By default, if you -use Spock classes, the class is spock.lang.Specification.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsDirectory: Specifies a directory that contains contracts written with the -Groovyn DSL. The default directory is /src/test/resources/contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    generatedTestSourcesDir: Specifies the test source directory where tests generated -from the Groovy DSL should be placed. By default, its value is -$buildDir/generated-test-sources/contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    generatedTestResourcesDir: Specifies the test resource directory for resources used by the generated tests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    testFramework: Specifies the target test framework to be used. Currently, Spock, JUnit 4 (TestFramework.JUNIT), and -JUnit 5 are supported, with JUnit 4 being the default framework.

    -
    • -
  • -

    packageWithBaseClasses: Defines a package where all the base classes reside. This -setting takes precedence over baseClassForTests. The convention is such that, if you -have a contract under (for example) src/test/resources/contract/foo/bar/baz/ and set -the value of the packageWithBaseClasses property to com.example.base, Spring -Cloud Contract Verifier assumes that there is a BarBazBase class under the -com.example.base package. In other words, the system takes the last two parts of the -package, if they exist, and forms a class with Base as a suffix.

    -
    • -
  • -

    baseClassMappings: Specifies a list of base class mappings that provide -contractPackageRegex (which is checked against the package where the contract is -located) and baseClassFQN( which maps to the fully qualified name of the base class for -the matched contract). For example, if you have a contract under -src/test/resources/contract/foo/bar/baz/ and map the -.* → com.example.base.BaseClass property, the test class generated from these contracts -extends com.example.base.BaseClass. This setting takes precedence over -packageWithBaseClasses and baseClassForTests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsProperties: A map that contains properties to be passed to Spring Cloud Contract -components. Those properties might be used by (for example) built-in or custom Stub Downloaders.

    -
    • -
  • -

    failOnNoContracts: When enabled, will throw an exception when no contracts were found. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
  • -

    failOnInProgress: If set to true then if any contracts that are in progress are found, will break the build. On the producer side you need to be explicit about the fact that you have contracts in progress and take into consideration that you might be causing false positive test execution results on the consumer side.. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
  • -

    incrementalContractTests: When enabled, tests are created only when contracts have changed since last build. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
  • -

    incrementalContractStubs: When enabled, stubs are created only when contracts have changed since last build. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
  • -

    incrementalContractStubsJar: When enabled, stubs jar is created only when stubs have changed since last build. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

If you want to download your contract definitions from a Maven repository, you can use -the following options:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    contractDependency: The contract dependency that contains all the packaged contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsPath: The path to the concrete contracts in the JAR with packaged contracts. -Defaults to groupid/artifactid where gropuid is slash separated.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsMode: Picks the mode in which stubs are found and registered.

    -
    • -
  • -

    deleteStubsAfterTest: If set to false will not remove any downloaded -contracts from temporary directories.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsRepositoryUrl: URL to a repository with the artifacts that have contracts. If it is not provided, -use the current Maven ones.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsRepositoryUsername: The user name to be used to connect to the repo with contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsRepositoryPassword: The password to be used to connect to the repo with contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsRepositoryProxyHost: The proxy host to be used to connect to the repo with contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsRepositoryProxyPort: The proxy port to be used to connect to the repo with contracts.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

We cache only non-snapshot, explicitly provided versions (for example -+ or 1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT do not get cached). By default, this feature is turned on.

-
-
-

The following list describes experimental features that you can turn on in the plugin:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    convertToYaml: Converts all DSLs to the declarative YAML format. This can be extremely useful when you use external libraries in your Groovy DSLs. By turning this feature on (by setting it to true) you need not add the library dependency on the consumer side.

    -
    • -
  • -

    assertJsonSize: You can check the size of JSON arrays in the generated tests. This feature is disabled by default.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

4.8. Single Base Class for All Tests

-
-

When using Spring Cloud Contract Verifier in the default (MockMvc), you need to create a base -specification for all generated acceptance tests. In this class, you need to point to an -endpoint, which should be verified. The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package org.mycompany.tests
-
-import org.mycompany.ExampleSpringController
-import com.jayway.restassured.module.mockmvc.RestAssuredMockMvc
-import spock.lang.Specification
-
-class MvcSpec extends Specification {
-  def setup() {
-   RestAssuredMockMvc.standaloneSetup(new ExampleSpringController())
-  }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can also setup the whole context if necessary, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
import io.restassured.module.mockmvc.RestAssuredMockMvc;
-import org.junit.Before;
-import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
-import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
-import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
-import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;
-import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;
-
-@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT, classes = SomeConfig.class, properties="some=property")
-public abstract class BaseTestClass {
-
-    @Autowired
-    WebApplicationContext context;
-
-    @Before
-    public void setup() {
-        RestAssuredMockMvc.webAppContextSetup(this.context);
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

If you use EXPLICIT mode, you can use a base class to initialize the whole tested app, -similar to what you might do in regular integration tests. The following example shows -how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
-import org.junit.Before;
-import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
-import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
-import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
-import org.springframework.boot.web.server.LocalServerPort
-import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;
-import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;
-
-@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT, classes = SomeConfig.class, properties="some=property")
-public abstract class BaseTestClass {
-
-    @LocalServerPort
-    int port;
-
-    @Before
-    public void setup() {
-        RestAssured.baseURI = "http://localhost:" + this.port;
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

If you use the JAXRSCLIENT mode, this base class should also contain a protected WebTarget webTarget field. Right -now, the only way to test the JAX-RS API is to start a web server.

-
-
-
-

4.9. Using Different Base Classes for Contracts

-
-

If your base classes differ between contracts, you can tell the Spring Cloud Contract -plugin which class should get extended by the autogenerated tests. You have two options:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Follow a convention by providing a value for packageWithBaseClasses

    -
    • -
  • -

    Provide explicit mapping with baseClassMappings

    -
    • -
-
-
-

4.9.1. By Convention

-
-

The convention is such that if you have a contract under (for example) -src/test/resources/contract/foo/bar/baz/ and set the value of the -packageWithBaseClasses property to com.example.base, then Spring Cloud Contract -Verifier assumes that there is a BarBazBase class under the com.example.base package. -In other words, the system takes the last two parts of the package, if they exist, and -forms a class with a Base suffix. This rule takes precedence over baseClassForTests. -The following example shows how it works in the contracts closure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <configuration>
-        <packageWithBaseClasses>hello</packageWithBaseClasses>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

4.9.2. By Mapping

-
-

You can manually map a regular expression of the contract’s package to the fully qualified -name of the base class for the matched contract. You have to provide a list called -baseClassMappings that consists of baseClassMapping objects that each take a -contractPackageRegex to baseClassFQN mapping. Consider the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <configuration>
-        <baseClassForTests>com.example.FooBase</baseClassForTests>
-        <baseClassMappings>
-            <baseClassMapping>
-                <contractPackageRegex>.*com.*</contractPackageRegex>
-                <baseClassFQN>com.example.TestBase</baseClassFQN>
-            </baseClassMapping>
-        </baseClassMappings>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-

Assume that you have contracts under these two locations: -* src/test/resources/contract/com/ -* src/test/resources/contract/foo/

-
-
-

By providing the baseClassForTests, we have a fallback in case mapping did not succeed. -(You can also provide the packageWithBaseClasses as a fallback.) That way, the tests -generated from src/test/resources/contract/com/ contracts extend the -com.example.ComBase, whereas the rest of the tests extend com.example.FooBase.

-
-
-
-
-

4.10. Invoking Generated Tests

-
-

The Spring Cloud Contract Maven Plugin generates verification code in a directory called -/generated-test-sources/contractVerifier and attaches this directory to testCompile -goal.

-
-
-

For Groovy Spock code, you can use the following:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.codehaus.gmavenplus</groupId>
-    <artifactId>gmavenplus-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>1.5</version>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <goals>
-                <goal>testCompile</goal>
-            </goals>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-    <configuration>
-        <testSources>
-            <testSource>
-                <directory>${project.basedir}/src/test/groovy</directory>
-                <includes>
-                    <include>**/*.groovy</include>
-                </includes>
-            </testSource>
-            <testSource>
-                <directory>${project.build.directory}/generated-test-sources/contractVerifier</directory>
-                <includes>
-                    <include>**/*.groovy</include>
-                </includes>
-            </testSource>
-        </testSources>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-

To ensure that the provider side is compliant with defined contracts, you need to invoke -mvn generateTest test.

-
-
-
-

4.11. Pushing Stubs to SCM

-
-

If you use the SCM (Source Control Management) repository to keep the contracts and -stubs, you might want to automate the step of pushing stubs to -the repository. To do that, you can add the pushStubsToScm -goal. The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <!-- Base class mappings etc. -->
-
-        <!-- We want to pick contracts from a Git repository -->
-        <contractsRepositoryUrl>git://https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git</contractsRepositoryUrl>
-
-        <!-- We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-        to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-        path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts -->
-        <contractDependency>
-            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
-            <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
-            <version>${project.version}</version>
-        </contractDependency>
-
-        <!-- The contracts mode can't be classpath -->
-        <contractsMode>REMOTE</contractsMode>
-    </configuration>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <phase>package</phase>
-            <goals>
-                <!-- By default we will not push the stubs back to SCM,
-                you have to explicitly add it as a goal -->
-                <goal>pushStubsToScm</goal>
-            </goals>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-

Under Using the SCM Stub Downloader, you can find all possible -configuration options that you can pass through -the <configuration><contractProperties> map, a system property, -or an environment variable.

-
-
-
-

4.12. Maven Plugin and STS

-
-

The following image shows an exception that you may see when you use STS:

-
-
-
-STS Exception -
-
-
-

When you click on the error marker you should see something like the following:

-
-
-
-
-
-

In order to fix this issue, provide the following section in your pom.xml:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<build>
-    <pluginManagement>
-        <plugins>
-            <!--This plugin's configuration is used to store Eclipse m2e settings

-                </configuration>
-            </plugin>
-        </plugins>
-    </pluginManagement>
-</build>
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

4.13. Maven Plugin with Spock Tests

-
-

You can select the Spock Framework for creating and running the auto-generated contract -verification tests with both Maven and Gradle. However, whereas using Gradle is straightforward, -in Maven, you will require some additional setup in order to make the tests compile and execute properly.

-
-
-

First of all, you must use a plugin, such as the GMavenPlus plugin, -to add Groovy to your project. In GMavenPlus plugin, you need to explicitly set test sources, including both the -path where your base test classes are defined and the path were the generated contract tests are added. -The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.codehaus.gmavenplus</groupId>
-    <artifactId>gmavenplus-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>1.6.1</version>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <goals>
-                <goal>compileTests</goal>
-                <goal>addTestSources</goal>
-            </goals>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-    <configuration>
-        <testSources>
-            <testSource>
-                <directory>${project.basedir}/src/test/groovy</directory>
-                <includes>
-                    <include>**/*.groovy</include>
-                </includes>
-            </testSource>
-            <testSource>
-                <directory>
-                    ${project.basedir}/target/generated-test-sources/contracts/com/example/beer
-                </directory>
-                <includes>
-                    <include>**/*.groovy</include>
-                    <include>**/*.gvy</include>
-                </includes>
-            </testSource>
-        </testSources>
-    </configuration>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
-            <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
-            <version>${groovy.version}</version>
-            <scope>runtime</scope>
-            <type>pom</type>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-
-
-
-
-
-

If you uphold the Spock convention of ending the test class names with Spec, you also need to adjust your Maven -Surefire plugin setup, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
-    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
-    <configuration>
-        <includes>
-            <include>**/*Test.java</include>
-            <include>**/*Spec.java</include>
-        </includes>
-        <failIfNoTests>true</failIfNoTests>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

5. Gradle Project

-
-
-

To learn how to set up the Gradle project for Spring Cloud Contract Verifier, read the -following sections:

-
-
- -
-
-

5.1. Prerequisites

-
-

In order to use Spring Cloud Contract Verifier with WireMock, you must use either a -Gradle or a Maven plugin.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you want to use Spock in your projects, you must separately add the -spock-core and spock-spring modules. See Spock’s -documnetation for more information -
-
-
-
-

5.2. Add Gradle Plugin with Dependencies

-
-

To add a Gradle plugin with dependencies, you can use code similar to the following:

-
-
-
-
-
Plugin DSL GA versions
-
-
// build.gradle
-plugins {
-  id "groovy"
-  // this will work only for GA versions of Spring Cloud Contract
-  id "org.springframework.cloud.contract" version "${GAVerifierVersion}"
-}
-
-dependencyManagement {
-    imports {
-        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-dependencies:${GAVerifierVersion}"
-    }
-}
-
-dependencies {
-    testCompile "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:${groovyVersion}"
-    // example with adding Spock core and Spock Spring
-    testCompile "org.spockframework:spock-core:${spockVersion}"
-    testCompile "org.spockframework:spock-spring:${spockVersion}"
-    testCompile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier'
-}
-
-
-
-
Plugin DSL non GA versions
-
-
// settings.gradle
-pluginManagement {
-    plugins {
-        id "org.springframework.cloud.contract" version "${verifierVersion}"
-    }

-    }
-}

-    testCompile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier'
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

5.3. Gradle and Rest Assured 2.0

-
-

By default, Rest Assured 3.x is added to the classpath. However, to use Rest Assured 2.x -you can add it to the plugins classpath, as the following listing shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
buildscript {
-    repositories {
-        mavenCentral()
-    }
-    dependencies {
-        classpath "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springboot_version}"
-        classpath "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-gradle-plugin:${verifier_version}"
-        classpath "com.jayway.restassured:rest-assured:2.5.0"
-        classpath "com.jayway.restassured:spring-mock-mvc:2.5.0"
-    }
-}
-
-depenendencies {
-    // all dependencies
-    // you can exclude rest-assured from spring-cloud-contract-verifier
-    testCompile "com.jayway.restassured:rest-assured:2.5.0"
-    testCompile "com.jayway.restassured:spring-mock-mvc:2.5.0"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

That way, the plugin automatically sees that Rest Assured 2.x is present on the classpath -and modifies the imports accordingly.

-
-
-
-

5.4. Snapshot Versions for Gradle

-
-

You can add the additional snapshot repository to your build.gradle to use snapshot versions, -which are automatically uploaded after every successful build, as the following listing shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
/*
- We need to use the [buildscript {}] section when we have to modify
- the classpath for the plugins. If that's not the case this section
- can be skipped.
-
- If you don't need to modify the classpath (e.g. add a Pact dependency),
- then you can just set the [pluginManagement {}] section in [settings.gradle] file.
-
- // settings.gradle
- pluginManagement {
-    repositories {
-        // for snapshots
-        maven {url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot"}
-        // for milestones
-        maven {url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone"}
-        // for GA versions
-        gradlePluginPortal()
-    }
- }
-
- */
-buildscript {
-    repositories {
-        mavenCentral()
-        mavenLocal()
-        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
-        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
-        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/release" }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

5.5. Add stubs

-
-

By default, Spring Cloud Contract Verifier looks for stubs in the -src/test/resources/contracts directory.

-
-
-

The directory that contains stub definitions is treated as a class name, and each stub -definition is treated as a single test. Spring Cloud Contract Verifier assumes that it -contains at least one level of directories that are to be used as the test class name. -If more than one level of nested directories is present, all except the last one is used -as the package name. Consider the following structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
src/test/resources/contracts/myservice/shouldCreateUser.groovy
-src/test/resources/contracts/myservice/shouldReturnUser.groovy
-
-
-
-
-
-

Given the preceding structure, Spring Cloud Contract Verifier creates a test class named -defaultBasePackage.MyService with two methods:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    shouldCreateUser()

    -
    • -
  • -

    shouldReturnUser()

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

5.6. Running the Plugin

-
-

The plugin registers itself to be invoked before a check task. If you want it to be -part of your build process, you need do nothing more. If you just want to generate -tests, invoke the generateContractTests task.

-
-
-
-

5.7. Default Setup

-
-

The default Gradle Plugin setup creates the following Gradle part of the build (in -pseudocode):

-
-
-
-
-
-
contracts {
-    testFramework ='JUNIT'
-    testMode = 'MockMvc'
-    generatedTestSourcesDir = project.file("${project.buildDir}/generated-test-sources/contracts")
-    generatedTestResourcesDir = project.file("${project.buildDir}/generated-test-resources/contracts")
-    contractsDslDir = project.file("${project.rootDir}/src/test/resources/contracts")
-    basePackageForTests = 'org.springframework.cloud.verifier.tests'
-    stubsOutputDir = project.file("${project.buildDir}/stubs")
-    sourceSet = null
-
-    // the following properties are used when you want to provide where the JAR with contract lays
-    contractDependency {
-        stringNotation = ''
-    }
-    contractsPath = ''
-    contractsWorkOffline = false
-    contractRepository {
-        cacheDownloadedContracts(true)
-    }
-}
-
-tasks.create(type: Jar, name: 'verifierStubsJar', dependsOn: 'generateClientStubs') {
-    baseName = project.name
-    classifier = contracts.stubsSuffix
-    from contractVerifier.stubsOutputDir
-}
-
-project.artifacts {
-    archives task
-}
-
-tasks.create(type: Copy, name: 'copyContracts') {
-    from contracts.contractsDslDir
-    into contracts.stubsOutputDir
-}
-
-verifierStubsJar.dependsOn 'copyContracts'
-
-publishing {
-    publications {
-        stubs(MavenPublication) {
-            artifactId project.name
-            artifact verifierStubsJar
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

5.8. Configuring the Plugin

-
-

To change the default configuration, you can add a contracts snippet to your Gradle -configuration, as the following listing shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
contracts {
-    testMode = 'MockMvc'
-    baseClassForTests = 'org.mycompany.tests'
-    generatedTestSourcesDir = project.file('src/generatedContract')
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

5.9. Configuration Options

-
-
    -
  • -

    testMode: Defines the mode for acceptance tests. By default, the mode is MockMvc, -which is based on Spring’s MockMvc. It can also be changed to WebTestClient, JaxRsClient, or -Explicit (for real HTTP calls).

    -
    • -
  • -

    imports: Creates an array with imports that should be included in the generated tests -(for example, ['org.myorg.Matchers']). By default, it creates an empty array.

    -
    • -
  • -

    staticImports: Creates an array with static imports that should be included in -generated tests(for example, ['org.myorg.Matchers.*']). By default, it creates an empty -array.

    -
    • -
  • -

    basePackageForTests: Specifies the base package for all generated tests. If not set, -the value is picked from the package of baseClassForTests and from packageWithBaseClasses. -If neither of these values are set, the value is set to -org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.tests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    baseClassForTests: Creates a base class for all generated tests. By default, if you -use Spock classes, the class is spock.lang.Specification.

    -
    • -
  • -

    packageWithBaseClasses: Defines a package where all the base classes reside. This -setting takes precedence over baseClassForTests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    baseClassMappings: Explicitly maps a contract package to a FQN of a base class. This -setting takes precedence over packageWithBaseClasses and baseClassForTests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    ruleClassForTests: Specifies a rule that should be added to the generated test -classes.

    -
    • -
  • -

    ignoredFiles: Uses an Antmatcher to allow defining stub files for which processing -should be skipped. By default, it is an empty array.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsDslDir: Specifies the directory that contains contracts written by using the -GroovyDSL. By default, its value is $rootDir/src/test/resources/contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    generatedTestSourcesDir: Specifies the test source directory where tests generated -from the Groovy DSL should be placed. By default, its value is -$buildDir/generated-test-sources/contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    generatedTestResourcesDir: Specifies the test resource directory where resources used by the tests generated -from the Groovy DSL should be placed. By default, its value is -$buildDir/generated-test-resources/contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    stubsOutputDir: Specifies the directory where the generated WireMock stubs from -the Groovy DSL should be placed.

    -
    • -
  • -

    testFramework: Specifies the target test framework to be used. Currently, Spock, JUnit 4 (TestFramework.JUNIT), and -JUnit 5 are supported, with JUnit 4 being the default framework.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsProperties: A map that contains properties to be passed to Spring Cloud Contract -components. Those properties might be used by (for example) built-in or custom Stub Downloaders.

    -
    • -
  • -

    sourceSet: Source set where the contracts are stored. If not provided will assume test (e.g. project.sourceSets.test.java for JUnit or project.sourceSets.test.groovy for Spock).

    -
    • -
-
-
-

You can use the following properties when you want to specify the location of the JAR -that contains the contracts:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    contractDependency: Specifies the Dependency that provides -groupid:artifactid:version:classifier coordinates. You can use the contractDependency -closure to set it up.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsPath: Specifies the path to the jar. If contract dependencies are -downloaded, the path defaults to groupid/artifactid where groupid is slash -separated. Otherwise, it scans contracts under the provided directory.

    -
    • -
  • -

    contractsMode: Specifies the mode for downloading contracts (whether the -JAR is available offline, remotely, and so on).

    -
    • -
  • -

    deleteStubsAfterTest: If set to false, do not remove any downloaded -contracts from temporary directories.

    -
    • -
  • -

    failOnNoContracts: When enabled, will throw an exception when no contracts were found. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
  • -

    failOnInProgress: If set to true then if any contracts that are in progress are found, will break the build. On the producer side you need to be explicit about the fact that you have contracts in progress and take into consideration that you might be causing false positive test execution results on the consumer side.. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

There is also the contractRepository { …​ } closure that contains the following properties

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    repositoryUrl: the URL to the repository with contract definitions

    -
    • -
  • -

    username : Repository username

    -
    • -
  • -

    password : Repository password

    -
    • -
  • -

    proxyPort : the port of the proxy

    -
    • -
  • -

    proxyHost : the host of the proxy

    -
    • -
  • -

    cacheDownloadedContracts : If set to true then will cache the folder where non snapshot contract artifacts got downloaded. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

You can also turn on the following experimental features in the plugin:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    convertToYaml: Converts all DSLs to the declarative YAML format. This can be extremely -useful when you use external libraries in your Groovy DSLs. By turning this feature on -(by setting it to true) you need not add the library dependency on the consumer side.

    -
    • -
  • -

    assertJsonSize: You can check the size of JSON arrays in the generated tests. This -feature is disabled by default.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

5.10. Single Base Class for All Tests

-
-

When using Spring Cloud Contract Verifier in default MockMvc, you need to create a base -specification for all generated acceptance tests. In this class, you need to point to an -endpoint, which should be verified. The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
abstract class BaseMockMvcSpec extends Specification {
-
-    def setup() {
-        RestAssuredMockMvc.standaloneSetup(new PairIdController())
-    }
-
-    void isProperCorrelationId(Integer correlationId) {
-        assert correlationId == 123456
-    }
-
-    void isEmpty(String value) {
-        assert value == null
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

If you use Explicit mode, you can use a base class to initialize the whole tested application, -as you might see in regular integration tests. If you use the JAXRSCLIENT mode, this -base class should also contain a protected WebTarget webTarget field. Right now, the -only option to test the JAX-RS API is to start a web server.

-
-
-
-

5.11. Different Base Classes for Contracts

-
-

If your base classes differ between contracts, you can tell the Spring Cloud Contract -plugin which class should get extended by the autogenerated tests. You have two options:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Follow a convention by providing the packageWithBaseClasses

    -
    • -
  • -

    Provide explicit mapping by using baseClassMappings

    -
    • -
-
-
-

5.11.1. By Convention

-
-

The convention is such that if you have a contract in (for example) -src/test/resources/contract/foo/bar/baz/ and set the value of the -packageWithBaseClasses property to com.example.base, then Spring Cloud Contract -Verifier assumes that there is a BarBazBase class under the com.example.base package. -In other words, the system takes the last two parts of the package, if they exist, and -forms a class with a Base suffix. This rule takes precedence over baseClassForTests. -The following example shows how it works in the contracts closure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
packageWithBaseClasses = 'com.example.base'
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

5.11.2. By Mapping

-
-

You can manually map a regular expression of the contract’s package to the fully qualified -name of the base class for the matched contract. You have to provide a list called -baseClassMappings that consists of baseClassMapping objects that take a -contractPackageRegex to baseClassFQN mapping. Consider the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
baseClassForTests = "com.example.FooBase"
-baseClassMappings {
-    baseClassMapping('.*/com/.*', 'com.example.ComBase')
-    baseClassMapping('.*/bar/.*': 'com.example.BarBase')
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Let’s assume that you have contracts in the following directories: - - src/test/resources/contract/com/ - - src/test/resources/contract/foo/

-
-
-

By providing baseClassForTests, we have a fallback in case mapping did not succeed. -(You could also provide the packageWithBaseClasses as a fallback.) That way, the tests -generated from src/test/resources/contract/com/ contracts extend the -com.example.ComBase, whereas the rest of the tests extend com.example.FooBase.

-
-
-
-
-

5.12. Invoking Generated Tests

-
-

To ensure that the provider side is compliant with your defined contracts, you need to run -the following command:

-
-
-
-
-
-
./gradlew generateContractTests test
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

5.13. Pushing Stubs to SCM

-
-

If you use the SCM repository to keep the contracts and -stubs, you might want to automate the step of pushing stubs to -the repository. To do that, you can call the pushStubsToScm -task by running the following command:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ ./gradlew pushStubsToScm
-
-
-
-
-
-

Under Using the SCM Stub Downloader you can find all possible -configuration options that you can pass either through -the contractsProperties field (for example, contracts { contractsProperties = [foo:"bar"] }), -through the contractsProperties method (for example, contracts { contractsProperties([foo:"bar"]) }), -or through a system property or an environment variable.

-
-
-
-

5.14. Spring Cloud Contract Verifier on the Consumer Side

-
-

In a consuming service, you need to configure the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier plugin -in exactly the same way as in the case of a provider. If you do not want to use Stub Runner, -you need to copy the contracts stored in src/test/resources/contracts and generate -WireMock JSON stubs by using the following command:

-
-
-
-
-
-
./gradlew generateClientStubs
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -The stubsOutputDir option has to be set for stub generation to work. -
-
-
-

When present, JSON stubs can be used in automated tests to consume a service. The -following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@ContextConfiguration(loader == SpringApplicationContextLoader, classes == Application)
-class LoanApplicationServiceSpec extends Specification {
-
- @ClassRule
- @Shared
- WireMockClassRule wireMockRule == new WireMockClassRule()
-
- @Autowired
- LoanApplicationService sut
-
- def 'should successfully apply for loan'() {
-   given:
-    LoanApplication application =
-            new LoanApplication(client: new Client(clientPesel: '12345678901'), amount: 123.123)
-   when:
-    LoanApplicationResult loanApplication == sut.loanApplication(application)
-   then:
-    loanApplication.loanApplicationStatus == LoanApplicationStatus.LOAN_APPLIED
-    loanApplication.rejectionReason == null
- }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

In the preceding example, LoanApplication makes a call to the FraudDetection service. -This request is handled by a WireMock server configured with stubs that were generated by -Spring Cloud Contract Verifier.

-
-
-
-
-
-

6. Docker Project

-
-
-

In this section, we publish a springcloud/spring-cloud-contract Docker image -that contains a project that generates tests and runs them in EXPLICIT mode -against a running application.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -The EXPLICIT mode means that the tests generated from contracts send -real requests and not the mocked ones. -
-
-
-

We also publish a spring-cloud/spring-cloud-contract-stub-runner Docker image -that starts the standalone version of Stub Runner.

-
-
-

6.1. A Short Introduction to Maven, JARs and Binary storage

-
-

Since non-JVM projects can use the Docker image, it is good to -explain the basic terms behind Spring Cloud Contract packaging defaults.

-
-
-

Parts of the following definitions were taken from the Maven Glossary:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Project: Maven thinks in terms of projects. Projects -are all you build. Those projects follow a well defined -“Project Object Model”. Projects can depend on other projects, -in which case the latter are called “dependencies”. A project may -consistent of several subprojects. However, these subprojects are still -treated equally as projects.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Artifact: An artifact is something that is either produced or used -by a project. Examples of artifacts produced by Maven for a project -include JAR files and source and binary distributions. Each artifact -is uniquely identified by a group ID and an artifact ID that is -unique within a group.

    -
    • -
  • -

    JAR: JAR stands for Java ARchive. Its format is based on -the ZIP file format. Spring Cloud Contract packages the contracts and generated -stubs in a JAR file.

    -
    • -
  • -

    GroupId: A group ID is a universally unique identifier for a project. -While this is often just the project name (for example, commons-collections), -it is helpful to use a fully-qualified package name to distinguish it -from other projects with a similar name (for example, org.apache.maven). -Typically, when published to the Artifact Manager, the GroupId gets -slash separated and forms part of the URL. For example, for a group ID of com.example -and an artifact ID of application, the result would be /com/example/application/.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Classifier: The Maven dependency notation looks as follows: -groupId:artifactId:version:classifier. The classifier is an additional suffix -passed to the dependency — for example, stubs or sources. The same dependency -(for example, com.example:application) can produce multiple artifacts that -differ from each other with the classifier.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Artifact manager: When you generate binaries, sources, or packages, you would -like them to be available for others to download, reference, or reuse. In the case -of the JVM world, those artifacts are generally JARs. For Ruby, those artifacts are gems. -For Docker, those artifacts are Docker images. You can store those artifacts -in a manager. Examples of such managers include Artifactory -or Nexus.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

6.2. Generating Tests on the Producer Side

-
-

The image searches for contracts under the /contracts folder. -The output from running the tests is available in the -/spring-cloud-contract/build folder (useful for debugging -purposes).

-
-
-

You can mount your contracts and pass the environment variables. -The image then:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Generates the contract tests

    -
    • -
  • -

    Runs the tests against the provided URL

    -
    • -
  • -

    Generates the WireMock stubs

    -
    • -
  • -

    Publishes the stubs to a Artifact Manager (optional - turned on by default)

    -
    • -
-
-
-

6.2.1. Environment Variables

-
-

The Docker image requires some environment variables to point to -your running application, to the Artifact manager instance, and so on. -The following list describes the environment variables:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    PROJECT_GROUP: Your project’s group ID. Defaults to com.example.

    -
    • -
  • -

    PROJECT_VERSION: Your project’s version. Defaults to 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.

    -
    • -
  • -

    PROJECT_NAME: Your project’s artifact id. Defaults to example.

    -
    • -
  • -

    PRODUCER_STUBS_CLASSIFIER: Archive classifier used for generated producer stubs. Defaults to stubs.

    -
    • -
  • -

    REPO_WITH_BINARIES_URL: URL of your Artifact Manager. Defaults to localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local, -which is the default URL of Artifactory running locally.

    -
    • -
  • -

    REPO_WITH_BINARIES_USERNAME: (optional) Username when the Artifact Manager is secured. Defaults to admin.

    -
    • -
  • -

    REPO_WITH_BINARIES_PASSWORD: (optional) Password when the Artifact Manager is secured. Defaults to password.

    -
    • -
  • -

    PUBLISH_ARTIFACTS: If set to true, publishes the artifact to binary storage. Defaults to true.

    -
    • -
  • -

    PUBLISH_ARTIFACTS_OFFLINE: If set to true, it will publish the artifacts to local .m2. Defaults to false.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

These environment variables are used when contracts lay in an external repository. To enable -this feature, you must set the EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_ARTIFACT_ID environment variable.

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_GROUP_ID: Group ID of the project with contracts. Defaults to com.example

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_ARTIFACT_ID: Artifact ID of the project with contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_CLASSIFIER: Classifier of the project with contracts. Empty by default.

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_VERSION: Version of the project with contracts. Defaults to +, equivalent to picking the latest.

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_REPO_WITH_BINARIES_URL: URL of your Artifact Manager. It defaults to -the value of REPO_WITH_BINARIES_URL environment variable. -If that is not set, it defaults to localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local, -which is the default URL of Artifactory running locally.

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_REPO_WITH_BINARIES_USERNAME: (optional) Username if the EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_REPO_WITH_BINARIES_URL -requires authentication. It defaults to REPO_WITH_BINARIES_USERNAME. If that is not set, it defaults to admin.

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_REPO_WITH_BINARIES_PASSWORD: (optional) Password if the EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_REPO_WITH_BINARIES_URL -requires authentication. It defaults to REPO_WITH_BINARIES_PASSWORD. If that is not set, it defaults to password.

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_PATH: Path to contracts for the given project, inside the project with contracts. -Defaults to slash-separated EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_GROUP_ID concatenated with / and EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_ARTIFACT_ID. For example, -for group id cat-server-side.dog and artifact id fish, would result in cat/dog/fish for the contracts path.

    -
    • -
  • -

    EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_WORK_OFFLINE; If set to true, retrieves the artifact with contracts -from the container’s .m2. Mount your local .m2 as a volume available at the container’s /root/.m2 path.

    -
    • -
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You must not set both EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_WORK_OFFLINE and EXTERNAL_CONTRACTS_REPO_WITH_BINARIES_URL. -
-
-
-

The following environment variables are used when tests are executed:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    APPLICATION_BASE_URL: URL against which tests should be run. -Remember that it has to be accessible from the Docker container (for example, localhost -does not work)

    -
    • -
  • -

    APPLICATION_USERNAME: (optional) Username for basic authentication to your application.

    -
    • -
  • -

    APPLICATION_PASSWORD: (optional) Password for basic authentication to your application.

6.2.2. Example of Usage

-
-

In this section, we explore a simple MVC application. To get started, clone the following -git repository and cd to the resulting directory, by running the following commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ git clone https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs
-$ cd bookstore
-
-
-
-
-
-

The contracts are available in the /contracts folder.

-
-
-

Since we want to run tests, we can run the following command:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ npm test
-
-
-
-
-
-

However, for learning purposes, we split it into pieces, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
# Stop docker infra (nodejs, artifactory)
-$ ./stop_infra.sh
-# Start docker infra (nodejs, artifactory)
-$ ./setup_infra.sh
-
-# Kill & Run app
-$ pkill -f "node app"
-$ nohup node app &
-
-# Prepare environment variables
-$ SC_CONTRACT_DOCKER_VERSION="..."
-$ APP_IP="192.168.0.100"
-$ APP_PORT="3000"
-$ ARTIFACTORY_PORT="8081"
-$ APPLICATION_BASE_URL="http://${APP_IP}:${APP_PORT}"
-$ ARTIFACTORY_URL="http://${APP_IP}:${ARTIFACTORY_PORT}/artifactory/libs-release-local"
-$ CURRENT_DIR="$( pwd )"
-$ CURRENT_FOLDER_NAME=${PWD##*/}
-$ PROJECT_VERSION="0.0.1.RELEASE"
-
-# Execute contract tests
-$ docker run  --rm -e "APPLICATION_BASE_URL=${APPLICATION_BASE_URL}" -e "PUBLISH_ARTIFACTS=true" -e "PROJECT_NAME=${CURRENT_FOLDER_NAME}" -e "REPO_WITH_BINARIES_URL=${ARTIFACTORY_URL}" -e "PROJECT_VERSION=${PROJECT_VERSION}" -v "${CURRENT_DIR}/contracts/:/contracts:ro" -v "${CURRENT_DIR}/node_modules/spring-cloud-contract/output:/spring-cloud-contract-output/" springcloud/spring-cloud-contract:"${SC_CONTRACT_DOCKER_VERSION}"
-
-# Kill app
-$ pkill -f "node app"
-
-
-
-
-
-

Through bash scripts, the following happens:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    The infrastructure (MongoDb and Artifactory) is set up. -In a real-life scenario, you would run the NodeJS application -with a mocked database. In this example, we want to show how we can -benefit from Spring Cloud Contract in very little time.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Due to those constraints, the contracts also represent the -stateful situation.

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      The first request is a POST that causes data to get inserted to the database.

      -
      • -
    • -

      The second request is a GET that returns a list of data with 1 previously inserted element.

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
  • -

    The NodeJS application is started (on port 3000).

    -
    • -
  • -

    The contract tests are generated through Docker, and tests -are run against the running application.

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      The contracts are taken from /contracts folder.

      -
      • -
    • -

      The output of the test execution is available under -node_modules/spring-cloud-contract/output.

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
  • -

    The stubs are uploaded to Artifactory. You can find them in -localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local/com/example/bookstore/0.0.1.RELEASE/ . -The stubs are at localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local/com/example/bookstore/0.0.1.RELEASE/bookstore-0.0.1.RELEASE-stubs.jar.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-
-

6.3. Running Stubs on the Consumer Side

-
-

This section describes how to use Docker on the consumer side to fetch and run stubs.

-
-
-

We publish a spring-cloud/spring-cloud-contract-stub-runner Docker image -that starts the standalone version of Stub Runner.

-
-
-

6.3.1. Environment Variables

-
-

You can run the docker image and pass any of the Common Properties for JUnit and Spring -as environment variables. The convention is that all the -letters should be upper case. -The dot (.) should be replaced with underscore (_) characters. For example, -the stubrunner.repositoryRoot property should be represented -as a STUBRUNNER_REPOSITORY_ROOT environment variable.

-
-
-
-

6.3.2. Example of Usage

-
-

We want to use the stubs created in this [docker-server-side] step. -Assume that we want to run the stubs on port 9876. You can see the NodeJS code -by cloning the repository and changing to the directory indicated in the following commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
$ git clone https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs
-$ cd bookstore
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now we can run the Stub Runner Boot application with the stubs, by running the following -commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
# Provide the Spring Cloud Contract Docker version
-$ SC_CONTRACT_DOCKER_VERSION="..."
-# The IP at which the app is running and Docker container can reach it
-$ APP_IP="192.168.0.100"
-# Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner properties
-$ STUBRUNNER_PORT="8083"
-# Stub coordinates 'groupId:artifactId:version:classifier:port'
-$ STUBRUNNER_IDS="com.example:bookstore:0.0.1.RELEASE:stubs:9876"
-$ STUBRUNNER_REPOSITORY_ROOT="http://${APP_IP}:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local"
-# Run the docker with Stub Runner Boot
-$ docker run  --rm -e "STUBRUNNER_IDS=${STUBRUNNER_IDS}" -e "STUBRUNNER_REPOSITORY_ROOT=${STUBRUNNER_REPOSITORY_ROOT}" -e "STUBRUNNER_STUBS_MODE=REMOTE" -p "${STUBRUNNER_PORT}:${STUBRUNNER_PORT}" -p "9876:9876" springcloud/spring-cloud-contract-stub-runner:"${SC_CONTRACT_DOCKER_VERSION}"
-
-
-
-
-
-

When the preceding commands run,

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    A standalone Stub Runner application gets started.

    -
    • -
  • -

    It downloads the stub with coordinates com.example:bookstore:0.0.1.RELEASE:stubs on port 9876.

    -
    • -
  • -

    It gets downloads from Artifactory running at 192.168.0.100:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local.

    -
    • -
  • -

    After a whil, Stub Runner is running on port 8083.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The stubs are running at port 9876.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

On the server side, we built a stateful stub. We can use curl to assert -that the stubs are setup properly. To do so, run the following commands:

-
-
-
-
-
-
# let's execute the first request (no response is returned)
-$ curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data '{ "title" : "Title", "genre" : "Genre", "description" : "Description", "author" : "Author", "publisher" : "Publisher", "pages" : 100, "image_url" : "https://d213dhlpdb53mu.cloudfront.net/assets/pivotal-square-logo-41418bd391196c3022f3cd9f3959b3f6d7764c47873d858583384e759c7db435.svg", "buy_url" : "https://pivotal.io" }' http://localhost:9876/api/books
-# Now time for the second request
-$ curl -X GET http://localhost:9876/api/books
-# You will receive contents of the JSON
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you want use the stubs that you have built locally, on your host, -you should set the -e STUBRUNNER_STUBS_MODE=LOCAL environment variable and mount -the volume of your local m2 (-v "${HOME}/.m2/:/root/.m2:ro"). -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

7. Spring Cloud Contract customization

-
-
-

In this section, we describe how to customize various parts of Spring Cloud Contract.

-
-
-

7.1. DSL Customization

-
- - - - - -
- - -This section is valid only for the Groovy DSL -
-
-
-

You can customize the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier by extending the DSL, as shown in -the remainder of this section.

-
-
-

7.1.1. Extending the DSL

-
-

You can provide your own functions to the DSL. The key requirement for this feature is to -maintain the static compatibility. Later in this document, you can see examples of:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Creating a JAR with reusable classes.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Referencing of these classes in the DSLs.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

You can find the full example -here.

-
-
-
-

7.1.2. Common JAR

-
-

The following examples show three classes that can be reused in the DSLs.

-
-
-

PatternUtils contains functions used by both the consumer and the producer. -The following listing shows the PatternUtils class:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example;
-
-import java.util.regex.Pattern;
-
-/**
- * If you want to use {@link Pattern} directly in your tests
- * then you can create a class resembling this one. It can
- * contain all the {@link Pattern} you want to use in the DSL.
- *
- * <pre>
- * {@code
- * request {
- *     body(
- *         [ age: $(c(PatternUtils.oldEnough()))]
- *     )
- * }
- * </pre>
- *
- * Notice that we're using both {@code $()} for dynamic values
- * and {@code c()} for the consumer side.
- *
- * @author Marcin Grzejszczak
- */
-//tag::impl[]
-public class PatternUtils {
-
-    public static String tooYoung() {
-        //remove::start[]
-        return "[0-1][0-9]";
-        //remove::end[return]
-    }
-
-    public static Pattern oldEnough() {
-        //remove::start[]
-        return Pattern.compile("[2-9][0-9]");
-        //remove::end[return]
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Makes little sense but it's just an example ;)
-     */
-    public static Pattern ok() {
-        //remove::start[]
-        return Pattern.compile("OK");
-        //remove::end[return]
-    }
-}
-//end::impl[]
-
-
-
-
-
-

ConsumerUtils contains functions used by the consumer. -The following listing shows the ConsumerUtils class:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example;
-
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.internal.ClientDslProperty;
-
-/**
- * DSL Properties passed to the DSL from the consumer's perspective.
- * That means that on the input side {@code Request} for HTTP
- * or {@code Input} for messaging you can have a regular expression.
- * On the {@code Response} for HTTP or {@code Output} for messaging
- * you have to have a concrete value.
- *
- * @author Marcin Grzejszczak
- */
-//tag::impl[]
-public class ConsumerUtils {
-    /**
-     * Consumer side property. By using the {@link ClientDslProperty}
-     * you can omit most of boilerplate code from the perspective
-     * of dynamic values. Example
-     *
-     * <pre>
-     * {@code
-     * request {
-     *     body(
-     *         [ age: $(ConsumerUtils.oldEnough())]
-     *     )
-     * }
-     * </pre>
-     *
-     * That way it's in the implementation that we decide what value we will pass to the consumer
-     * and which one to the producer.
-     *
-     * @author Marcin Grzejszczak
-     */
-    public static ClientDslProperty oldEnough() {
-        //remove::start[]
-        // this example is not the best one and
-        // theoretically you could just pass the regex instead of `ServerDslProperty` but
-        // it's just to show some new tricks :)
-        return new ClientDslProperty(PatternUtils.oldEnough(), 40);
-        //remove::end[return]
-    }
-
-}
-//end::impl[]
-
-
-
-
-
-

ProducerUtils contains functions used by the producer. -The following listing shows the ProducerUtils class:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example;
-
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.internal.ServerDslProperty;
-
-/**
- * DSL Properties passed to the DSL from the producer's perspective.
- * That means that on the input side {@code Request} for HTTP
- * or {@code Input} for messaging you have to have a concrete value.
- * On the {@code Response} for HTTP or {@code Output} for messaging
- * you can have a regular expression.
- *
- * @author Marcin Grzejszczak
- */
-//tag::impl[]
-public class ProducerUtils {
-
-    /**
-     * Producer side property. By using the {@link ProducerUtils}
-     * you can omit most of boilerplate code from the perspective
-     * of dynamic values. Example
-     *
-     * <pre>
-     * {@code
-     * response {
-     *     body(
-     *         [ status: $(ProducerUtils.ok())]
-     *     )
-     * }
-     * </pre>
-     *
-     * That way it's in the implementation that we decide what value we will pass to the consumer
-     * and which one to the producer.
-     */
-    public static ServerDslProperty ok() {
-        // this example is not the best one and
-        // theoretically you could just pass the regex instead of `ServerDslProperty` but
-        // it's just to show some new tricks :)
-        return new ServerDslProperty( PatternUtils.ok(), "OK");
-    }
-}
-//end::impl[]
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

7.1.3. Adding a Test Dependency in the Project’s Dependencies

-
-

To add a test dependency in the project’s dependencies, you must first add the common jar -dependency as a test dependency. Because your contracts files -are available on the test resources path, the common jar classes automatically become -visible in your Groovy files. The following examples show how to test the dependency:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
-    <artifactId>beer-common</artifactId>
-    <version>${project.version}</version>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
testCompile("com.example:beer-common:0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT")
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

7.1.4. Adding a Test Dependency in the Plugin’s Dependencies

-
-

Now, you must add the dependency for the plugin to reuse at runtime, as the -following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <packageWithBaseClasses>com.example</packageWithBaseClasses>
-        <baseClassMappings>
-            <baseClassMapping>
-                <contractPackageRegex>.*intoxication.*</contractPackageRegex>
-                <baseClassFQN>com.example.intoxication.BeerIntoxicationBase</baseClassFQN>
-            </baseClassMapping>
-        </baseClassMappings>
-    </configuration>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>com.example</groupId>
-            <artifactId>beer-common</artifactId>
-            <version>${project.version}</version>
-            <scope>compile</scope>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
classpath "com.example:beer-common:0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT"
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

7.1.5. Referencing Classes in DSLs

-
-

You can now reference your classes in your DSL, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package contracts.beer.rest
-
-import com.example.ConsumerUtils
-import com.example.ProducerUtils
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract
-
-Contract.make {
-    description("""
-Represents a successful scenario of getting a beer
-
-```
-given:
-    client is old enough
-when:
-    he applies for a beer
-then:
-    we'll grant him the beer
-```
-
-""")
-    request {
-        method 'POST'
-        url '/check'
-        body(
-                age: $(ConsumerUtils.oldEnough())
-        )
-        headers {
-            contentType(applicationJson())
-        }
-    }
-    response {
-        status 200
-        body("""
-            {
-                "status": "${value(ProducerUtils.ok())}"
-            }
-            """)
-        headers {
-            contentType(applicationJson())
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You can set the Spring Cloud Contract plugin up by setting convertToYaml to -true. That way, you do NOT have to add the dependency with the extended functionality -to the consumer side, since the consumer side uses YAML contracts instead of Groovy contracts. -
-
-
-
-
-

7.2. WireMock Customization

-
-

In this section, we show how to customize the way you work with WireMock.

-
-
-

7.2.1. Registering Your Own WireMock Extension

-
-

WireMock lets you register custom extensions. By default, Spring Cloud Contract registers -the transformer, which lets you reference a request from a response. If you want to -provide your own extensions, you can register an implementation of the -org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.dsl.wiremock.WireMockExtensions interface. -Since we use the spring.factories extension approach, you can create an entry in -META-INF/spring.factories file similar to the following:

-
-
-
-
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.dsl.wiremock.WireMockExtensions=\
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.provider.wiremock.TestWireMockExtensions
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractConverter=\
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.TestCustomYamlContractConverter
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following example shows a custom extension:

-
-
-

- */
-
-package org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.dsl.wiremock
-
-import com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.extension.Extension
-
-/**
- * Extension that registers the default transformer and the custom one
- */
-class TestWireMockExtensions implements WireMockExtensions {
-    @Override
-    List<Extension> extensions() {
-        return [
-                new DefaultResponseTransformer(),
-                new CustomExtension()
-        ]
-    }
-}
-
-class CustomExtension implements Extension {
-
-    @Override
-    String getName() {
-        return "foo-transformer"
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Remember to override the applyGlobally() method and set it to false if you -want the transformation to be applied only for a mapping that explicitly requires it. -
-
-
-
-

7.2.2. Customization of WireMock Configuration

-
-

You can register a bean of type org.springframework.cloud.contract.wiremock.WireMockConfigurationCustomizer -to customize the WireMock configuration (for example, to add custom transformers). -The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
        @Bean
-        WireMockConfigurationCustomizer optionsCustomizer() {
-            return new WireMockConfigurationCustomizer() {
-                @Override
-                public void customize(WireMockConfiguration options) {
-// perform your customization here
-                }
-            };
-        }
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

7.3. Using the Pluggable Architecture

-
-

You may encounter cases where your contracts have been defined in other formats, -such as YAML, RAML, or PACT. In those cases, you still want to benefit from the automatic -generation of tests and stubs. You can add your own implementation for generating both -tests and stubs. Also, you can customize the way tests are generated (for example, you -can generate tests for other languages) and the way stubs are generated (for example, you -can generate stubs for other HTTP server implementations).

-
-
-

7.3.1. Custom Contract Converter

The ContractConverter interface lets you register your own implementation of a contract -structure converter. The following code listing shows the ContractConverter interface:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec;
-
-import java.io.File;
-import java.util.Collection;
-
-/**
- * Converter to be used to convert FROM {@link File} TO {@link Contract} and from
- * {@link Contract} to {@code T}.
- *
- * @param <T> - type to which we want to convert the contract
- * @author Marcin Grzejszczak
- * @since 1.1.0
- */
-public interface ContractConverter<T> extends ContractStorer<T> {
-
-    /**
-     * Should this file be accepted by the converter. Can use the file extension to check
-     * if the conversion is possible.
-     * @param file - file to be considered for conversion
-     * @return - {@code true} if the given implementation can convert the file
-     */
-    boolean isAccepted(File file);
-
-    /**
-     * Converts the given {@link File} to its {@link Contract} representation.
-     * @param file - file to convert
-     * @return - {@link Contract} representation of the file
-     */
-    Collection<Contract> convertFrom(File file);
-
-    /**
-     * Converts the given {@link Contract} to a {@link T} representation.
-     * @param contract - the parsed contract
-     * @return - {@link T} the type to which we do the conversion
-     */
-    T convertTo(Collection<Contract> contract);
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Your implementation must define the condition on which it should start the -conversion. Also, you must define how to perform that conversion in both directions.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Once you create your implementation, you must create a -/META-INF/spring.factories file in which you provide the fully qualified name of your -implementation. -
-
-
-

The following example shows a typical spring.factories file:

-
-
-
-
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractConverter=\
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.converter.YamlContractConverter
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

7.3.2. Using the Custom Test Generator

-
-

If you want to generate tests for languages other than Java or you are not happy with the -way the verifier builds Java tests, you can register your own implementation.

-
-
-

The SingleTestGenerator interface lets you register your own implementation. The -following code listing shows the SingleTestGenerator interface:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.builder;
-
-import java.nio.file.Path;
-import java.util.Collection;
-
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.config.ContractVerifierConfigProperties;
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.file.ContractMetadata;
-
-/**
- * Builds a single test.
- *
- * @since 1.1.0
- */
-public interface SingleTestGenerator {
-
-    /**
-     * Creates contents of a single test class in which all test scenarios from the
-     * contract metadata should be placed.
-     * @param properties - properties passed to the plugin
-     * @param listOfFiles - list of parsed contracts with additional metadata
-     * @param className - the name of the generated test class
-     * @param classPackage - the name of the package in which the test class should be
-     * stored
-     * @param includedDirectoryRelativePath - relative path to the included directory
-     * @return contents of a single test class
-     * @deprecated use{@link SingleTestGenerator#buildClass(ContractVerifierConfigProperties, Collection, String, GeneratedClassData)}
-     */
-    @Deprecated
-    String buildClass(ContractVerifierConfigProperties properties,
-            Collection<ContractMetadata> listOfFiles, String className,
-            String classPackage, String includedDirectoryRelativePath);
-
-    /**
-     * Creates contents of a single test class in which all test scenarios from the
-     * contract metadata should be placed.
-     * @param properties - properties passed to the plugin
-     * @param listOfFiles - list of parsed contracts with additional metadata
-     * @param generatedClassData - information about the generated class
-     * @param includedDirectoryRelativePath - relative path to the included directory
-     * @return contents of a single test class
-     */
-    String buildClass(ContractVerifierConfigProperties properties,
-            Collection<ContractMetadata> listOfFiles,
-            String includedDirectoryRelativePath, GeneratedClassData generatedClassData);
-
-    class GeneratedClassData {
-
-        public final String className;
-
-        public final String classPackage;
-
-        public final Path testClassPath;
-
-        public GeneratedClassData(String className, String classPackage,
-                Path testClassPath) {
-            this.className = className;
-            this.classPackage = classPackage;
-            this.testClassPath = testClassPath;
-        }
-
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Again, you must provide a spring.factories file, such as the one shown in the following -example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.builder.SingleTestGenerator=/
-com.example.MyGenerator
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

7.3.3. Using the Custom Stub Generator

-
-

If you want to generate stubs for stub servers other than WireMock, you can plug in your -own implementation of the StubGenerator interface. The following code listing shows the -StubGenerator interface:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.converter;
-
-import java.util.Map;
-
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract;
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.file.ContractMetadata;
-
-/**
- * Converts contracts into their stub representation.
- *
- * @since 1.1.0
- */
-public interface StubGenerator {
-
-    /**
-     * @param fileName - file name
-     * @return {@code true} if the converter can handle the file to convert it into a
-     * stub.
-     */
-    default boolean canHandleFileName(String fileName) {
-        return fileName.endsWith(fileExtension());
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * @param rootName - root name of the contract
-     * @param content - metadata of the contract
-     * @return the collection of converted contracts into stubs. One contract can result
-     * in multiple stubs.
-     */
-    Map<Contract, String> convertContents(String rootName, ContractMetadata content);
-
-    /**
-     * @param inputFileName - name of the input file
-     * @return the name of the converted stub file. If you have multiple contracts in a
-     * single file then a prefix will be added to the generated file. If you provide the
-     * {@link Contract#name} field then that field will override the generated file name.
-     *
-     * Example: name of file with 2 contracts is {@code foo.groovy}, it will be converted
-     * by the implementation to {@code foo.json}. The recursive file converter will create
-     * two files {@code 0_foo.json} and {@code 1_foo.json}
-     */
-    String generateOutputFileNameForInput(String inputFileName);
-
-    /**
-     * Describes the file extension that this stub generator can handle.
-     * @return string describing the file extension
-     */
-    default String fileExtension() {
-        return ".json";
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Again, you must provide a spring.factories file, such as the one shown in the following -example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
# Stub converters
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.converter.StubGenerator=\
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.wiremock.DslToWireMockClientConverter
-
-
-
-
-
-

The default implementation is the WireMock stub generation.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You can provide multiple stub generator implementations. For example, from a single -DSL, you can produce both WireMock stubs and Pact files. -
-
-
-
-

7.3.4. Using the Custom Stub Runner

-
-

If you decide to use a custom stub generation, you also need a custom way of running -stubs with your different stub provider.

-
-
-

Assume that you use Moco to build your stubs and that -you have written a stub generator and placed your stubs in a JAR file.

-
-
-

In order for Stub Runner to know how to run your stubs, you have to define a custom -HTTP Stub server implementation, which might resemble the following example:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.provider.moco
-
-import com.github.dreamhead.moco.bootstrap.arg.HttpArgs
-import com.github.dreamhead.moco.runner.JsonRunner
-import com.github.dreamhead.moco.runner.RunnerSetting
-import groovy.transform.CompileStatic
-import groovy.util.logging.Commons
-
-import org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.HttpServerStub
-import org.springframework.util.SocketUtils
-
-@Commons
-@CompileStatic
-class MocoHttpServerStub implements HttpServerStub {
-
-    private boolean started
-    private JsonRunner runner
-    private int port
-
-    @Override
-    int port() {
-        if (!isRunning()) {
-            return -1
-        }
-        return port
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    boolean isRunning() {
-        return started
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    HttpServerStub start() {
-        return start(SocketUtils.findAvailableTcpPort())
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    HttpServerStub start(int port) {
-        this.port = port
-        return this
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    HttpServerStub stop() {
-        if (!isRunning()) {
-            return this
-        }
-        this.runner.stop()
-        return this
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    HttpServerStub registerMappings(Collection<File> stubFiles) {
-        List<RunnerSetting> settings = stubFiles.findAll { it.name.endsWith("json") }
-            .collect {
-            log.info("Trying to parse [${it.name}]")
-            try {
-                return RunnerSetting.aRunnerSetting().addStream(it.newInputStream()).
-                    build()
-            }
-            catch (Exception e) {
-                log.warn("Exception occurred while trying to parse file [${it.name}]", e)
-                return null
-            }
-        }.findAll { it }
-        this.runner = JsonRunner.newJsonRunnerWithSetting(settings,
-            HttpArgs.httpArgs().withPort(this.port).build())
-        this.runner.run()
-        this.started = true
-        return this
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    String registeredMappings() {
-        return ""
-    }
-
-    @Override
-    boolean isAccepted(File file) {
-        return file.name.endsWith(".json")
-    }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then you can register it in your spring.factories file, as the following -example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.HttpServerStub=\
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.provider.moco.MocoHttpServerStub
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now you can run stubs with Moco.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you do not provide any implementation, the default (WireMock) -implementation is used. If you provide more than one, the first one on the list is used. -
-
-
-
-

7.3.5. Using the Custom Stub Downloader

-
-

You can customize the way your stubs are downloaded by creating an implementation of the -StubDownloaderBuilder interface, as the following example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
package com.example;
-
-class CustomStubDownloaderBuilder implements StubDownloaderBuilder {
-
-    @Override
-    public StubDownloader build(final StubRunnerOptions stubRunnerOptions) {
-        return new StubDownloader() {
-            @Override
-            public Map.Entry<StubConfiguration, File> downloadAndUnpackStubJar(
-                    StubConfiguration config) {
-                File unpackedStubs = retrieveStubs();
-                return new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<>(
-                        new StubConfiguration(config.getGroupId(), config.getArtifactId(), version,
-                                config.getClassifier()), unpackedStubs);
-            }
-
-            File retrieveStubs() {
-                // here goes your custom logic to provide a folder where all the stubs reside
-            }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Then you can register it in your spring.factories file, as the following -example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
# Example of a custom Stub Downloader Provider
-org.springframework.cloud.contract.stubrunner.StubDownloaderBuilder=\
-com.example.CustomStubDownloaderBuilder
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now you can pick a folder with the source of your stubs.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -If you do not provide any implementation, the default (scanning the classpath) is used. -If you provide the stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.LOCAL or -stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE, the Aether implementation is used -If you provide more than one, the first one on the list is used. -
-
-
-
-

7.3.6. Using the SCM Stub Downloader

-
-

Whenever the repositoryRoot starts with a SCM protocol -(currently, we support only git://), the stub downloader tries -to clone the repository and use it as a source of contracts -to generate tests or stubs.

-
-
-

Through environment variables, system properties, or properties set -inside the plugin or the contracts repository configuration, you can -tweak the downloader’s behavior. The following table describes the available -properties:

-
- - ----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

8. “How-to” Guides

-
-
-

This section provides answers to some common “how do I do that…​” questions -that often arise when using Spring Cloud Contract. Its coverage is not exhaustive, but it -does cover quite a lot.

-
-
-

If you have a specific problem that we do not cover here, you might want to check out -stackoverflow.com to see if someone has -already provided an answer. Stack Overflow is also a great place to ask new questions (please use -the spring-cloud-contract tag).

-
-
-

We are also more than happy to extend this section. If you want to add a “how-to”, -send us a pull request.

-
-
-

8.1. Why use Spring Cloud Contract?

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract works great in a polyglot environment. This project has a lot of -really interesting features. Quite a few of these features definitely make -Spring Cloud Contract Verifier stand out on the market of Consumer Driven Contract -(CDC) tooling. The most interesting features include the following:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Ability to do CDC with messaging.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Clear and easy to use, statically typed DSL.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Ability to copy-paste your current JSON file to the contract and only edit its elements.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Automatic generation of tests from the defined Contract.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Stub Runner functionality: The stubs are automatically downloaded at runtime from Nexus/Artifactory.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Cloud integration: No discovery service is needed for integration tests.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Cloud Contract integrates with Pact and provides easy hooks to extend its functionality.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Ability to add support for any language & framework through Docker.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

8.2. How Can I Write Contracts in a Language Other than Groovy?

-
-

You can write a contract in YAML. See this section for more information.

-
-
-

We are working on allowing more ways of describing the contracts. You can check the github-issues for more information.

-
-
-
-

8.3. How Can I Provide Dynamic Values to a Contract?

-
-

One of the biggest challenges related to stubs is their reusability. Only if they can be widely used can they serve their purpose. -The hard-coded values (such as dates and IDs) of request and response elements generally make that difficult. -Consider the following JSON request:

-
-
-
-
-
-
{
-    "time" : "2016-10-10 20:10:15",
-    "id" : "9febab1c-6f36-4a0b-88d6-3b6a6d81cd4a",
-    "body" : "foo"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Now consider the following JSON response:

-
-
-
-
-
-
{
-    "time" : "2016-10-10 21:10:15",
-    "id" : "c4231e1f-3ca9-48d3-b7e7-567d55f0d051",
-    "body" : "bar"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Imagine the pain required to set the proper value of the time field (assume that this content is generated by the -database) by changing the clock in the system or by providing stub implementations of data providers. The same is related -to the field called id. You could create a stubbed implementation of UUID generator, but doing so makes little sense.

-
-
-

So, as a consumer, you want to send a request that matches any form of a time or any UUID. That way, your system -works as usual, generating data without you having to stub out anything. Assume that, in case of the aforementioned -JSON, the most important part is the body field. You can focus on that and provide matching for other fields. In other words, -you would like the stub to work as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
{
-    "time" : "SOMETHING THAT MATCHES TIME",
-    "id" : "SOMETHING THAT MATCHES UUID",
-    "body" : "foo"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

As far as the response goes, as a consumer, you need a concrete value on which you can operate. -Consequently, the following JSON is valid:

-
-
-
-
-
-
{
-    "time" : "2016-10-10 21:10:15",
-    "id" : "c4231e1f-3ca9-48d3-b7e7-567d55f0d051",
-    "body" : "bar"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

In the previous sections, we generated tests from contracts. So, from the producer’s side, the situation looks -much different. We parse the provided contract, and, in the test, we want to send a real request to your endpoints. -So, for the case of a producer for the request, we cannot have any sort of matching. We need concrete values on which the -producer’s backend can work. Consequently, the following JSON would be valid:

-
-
-
-
-
-
{
-    "time" : "2016-10-10 20:10:15",
-    "id" : "9febab1c-6f36-4a0b-88d6-3b6a6d81cd4a",
-    "body" : "foo"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

On the other hand, from the point of view of the validity of the contract, the response does not necessarily have to -contain concrete values for time or id. Suppose you generate those on the producer side. Again, you -have to do a lot of stubbing to ensure that you always return the same values. That is why, from the producer’s side -you might want the following response:

-
-
-
-
-
-
{
-    "time" : "SOMETHING THAT MATCHES TIME",
-    "id" : "SOMETHING THAT MATCHES UUID",
-    "body" : "bar"
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

How can you then provide a matcher for the consumer and a concrete value for the producer (and the opposite at some other time)? -Spring Cloud Contract lets you provide a dynamic value. That means that it can differ for both -sides of the communication.

-
-
-

You can read more about this in the Contract DSL section.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Read the Groovy docs related to JSON to understand how to -properly structure the request and response bodies. -
-
-
-
-

8.4. How to Do Stubs versioning?

-
-

This section covers version of the stubs, which you can handle in a number of different ways:

-
-
- -
-
-

8.4.1. API Versioning

-
-

What does versioning really mean? If you refer to the API version, there are -different approaches:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Use hypermedia links and do not version your API by any means

    -
    • -
  • -

    Pass the version through headers and URLs

    -
    • -
-
-
-

We do not try to answer the question of which approach is better. You should pick whatever -suits your needs and lets you generate business value.

-
-
-

Assume that you do version your API. In that case, you should provide as many contracts with as many versions as you support. -You can create a subfolder for every version or append it to the contract name — whatever suits you best.

-
-
-
-

8.4.2. JAR versioning

-
-

If, by versioning, you mean the version of the JAR that contains the stubs, then there are essentially two main approaches.

-
-
-

Assume that you do continuous delivery and deployment, which means that you generate a new version of -the jar each time you go through the pipeline and that the jar can go to production at any time. For example, your jar version -looks like the following (because it got built on the 20.10.2016 at 20:15:21) :

-
-
-
-
-
-
1.0.0.20161020-201521-RELEASE
-
-
-
-
-
-

In that case your, generated stub jar should look like the following:

-
-
-
-
-
-
1.0.0.20161020-201521-RELEASE-stubs.jar
-
-
-
-
-
-

In this case, you should, inside your application.yml or @AutoConfigureStubRunner when -referencing stubs, provide the latest version of the stubs. You can do that by passing the -+ sign. the following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:8080"})
-
-
-
-
-
-

If the versioning, however, is fixed (for example, 1.0.4.RELEASE or 2.1.1), you have to set the concrete value of the jar -version. The following example shows how to do so for version 2.1.1:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:2.1.1:stubs:8080"})
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

8.4.3. Development or Production Stubs

-
-

You can manipulate the classifier to run the tests against current the development version -of the stubs of other services or the ones that were deployed to production. If you alter -your build to deploy the stubs with the prod-stubs classifier once you reach production -deployment, you can run tests in one case with development stubs and one with production stubs.

-
-
-

The following example works for tests that use the development version of the stubs:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:8080"})
-
-
-
-
-
-

The following example works for tests that use the production version of stubs:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:+:prod-stubs:8080"})
-
-
-
-
-
-

You can also pass those values also in properties from your deployment pipeline.

-

8.5. How Can I use a Common Repository with Contracts Instead of Storing Them with the Producer?

-
-

Another way of storing contracts, rather than having them with the producer, is to keep -them in a common place. This situation can be related to security issues (where the -consumers cannot clone the producer’s code). Also if you keep contracts in a single place, -then you, as a producer, know how many consumers you have and which consumer you may break -with your local changes.

-
-
-

8.5.1. Repo Structure

-
-

Assume that we have a producer with coordinates of com.example:server and three -consumers: client1, client2, and client3. Then, in the repository with common -contracts, you could have the following setup (which you can check out -here). -The following listing shows such a structure:

-
-
-
-
-
-
├── com
-│   └── example
-│       └── server
-│           ├── client1
-│           │   └── expectation.groovy
-│           ├── client2
-│           │   └── expectation.groovy
-│           ├── client3
-│           │   └── expectation.groovy
-│           └── pom.xml
-├── mvnw
-├── mvnw.cmd
-├── pom.xml
-└── src
-    └── assembly
-        └── contracts.xml
-
-
-
-
-
-

As you can see under the slash-delimited groupid/artifact id folder (com/example/server) you have -expectations of the three consumers (client1, client2, and client3). Expectations are the standard Groovy DSL -contract files, as described throughout this documentation. This repository has to produce a JAR file that maps -one-to-one to the contents of the repository.

-
-
-

The following example shows a pom.xml inside the server folder:

-
-
-
-
-

There are no dependencies other than the Spring Cloud Contract Maven Plugin. -Those pom files are necessary for the consumer side to run mvn clean install -DskipTests to locally install -the stubs of the producer project.

It uses the assembly plugin to build the JAR with all the contracts. The following example -shows such a setup:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<assembly xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
-          xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.3"

8.5.2. Workflow

-
-

The workflow assumes that Spring Cloud Contract is set up both on the consumer and on the -producer side. There is also the proper plugin setup in the common repository with -contracts. The CI jobs are set for a common repository to build an artifact of all -contracts and upload it to Nexus/Artifactory. The following image shows the UML for this -workflow:

-
-
-
-how to common repo -
-
-
-
-

8.5.3. Consumer

-
-

When the consumer wants to work on the contracts offline, instead of cloning the producer -code, the consumer team clones the common repository, goes to the required producer’s -folder (for example, com/example/server) and runs mvn clean install -DskipTests to -locally install the stubs converted from the contracts.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You need to have Maven installed locally -
-
-
-
-

8.5.4. Producer

-
-

As a producer, you can to alter the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier to provide the URL and -the dependency of the JAR that contains the contracts, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <configuration>
-        <contractsMode>REMOTE</contractsMode>
-        <contractsRepositoryUrl>
-            https://link/to/your/nexus/or/artifactory/or/sth
-        </contractsRepositoryUrl>
-        <contractDependency>
-            <groupId>com.example.standalone</groupId>
-            <artifactId>contracts</artifactId>
-        </contractDependency>
-    </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
-

With this setup, the JAR with a groupid of com.example.standalone and artifactid -contracts is downloaded from link/to/your/nexus/or/artifactory/or/sth. It is -then unpacked in a local temporary folder, and the contracts present in -com/example/server are picked as the ones used to generate the tests and the stubs. Due -to this convention, the producer team can know which consumer teams will be broken when -some incompatible changes are made.

-
-
-

The rest of the flow looks the same.

-
-
-
-

8.5.5. How Can I Define Messaging Contracts per Topic Rather than per Producer?

-
-

To avoid messaging contracts duplication in the common repository, when a few producers write messages to one topic, -we could create a structure in which the REST contracts are placed in a folder per producer and messaging -contracts are placed in the folder per topic.

-
-
-
For Maven Projects
-
-

To make it possible to work on the producer side, we should specify an inclusion pattern for -filtering common repository jar files by messaging topics we are interested in. The -includedFiles property of the Maven Spring Cloud Contract plugin -lets us do so. Also, contractsPath need to be specified, since the default path would be -the common repository groupid/artifactid. The following example shows a Maven -plugin for Spring Cloud Contract:

-
-
-
-
-
-
<plugin>
-   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-   <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-   <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-   <configuration>
-      <contractsMode>REMOTE</contractsMode>
-      <contractsRepositoryUrl>https://link/to/your/nexus/or/artifactory/or/sth</contractsRepositoryUrl>
-      <contractDependency>
-         <groupId>com.example</groupId>
-         <artifactId>common-repo-with-contracts</artifactId>
-         <version>+</version>
-      </contractDependency>
-      <contractsPath>/</contractsPath>
-      <baseClassMappings>
-         <baseClassMapping>
-            <contractPackageRegex>.*messaging.*</contractPackageRegex>
-            <baseClassFQN>com.example.services.MessagingBase</baseClassFQN>
-         </baseClassMapping>
-         <baseClassMapping>
-            <contractPackageRegex>.*rest.*</contractPackageRegex>
-            <baseClassFQN>com.example.services.TestBase</baseClassFQN>
-         </baseClassMapping>
-      </baseClassMappings>
-      <includedFiles>
-         <includedFile>**/${project.artifactId}/**</includedFile>
-         <includedFile>**/${first-topic}/**</includedFile>
-         <includedFile>**/${second-topic}/**</includedFile>
-      </includedFiles>
-   </configuration>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Many of the values in the preceding Maven plugin can be changed. We included it for -illustration purposes rather than trying to provide a “typical” example. -
-
-
-
-
For Gradle Projects
-
-

To work with a Gradle project:

-
-
-
    -
  1. -

    Add a custom configuration for the common repository dependency, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    ext {
-    contractsGroupId = "com.example"
-    contractsArtifactId = "common-repo"
-    contractsVersion = "1.2.3"
-}
-
-configurations {
-    contracts {
-        transitive = false
-    }
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    2. -
  2. -

    Add the common repository dependency to your classpath, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    dependencies {
-    contracts "${contractsGroupId}:${contractsArtifactId}:${contractsVersion}"
-    testCompile "${contractsGroupId}:${contractsArtifactId}:${contractsVersion}"
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    3. -
  3. -

    Download the dependency to an appropriate folder, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    task getContracts(type: Copy) {
-    from configurations.contracts
-    into new File(project.buildDir, "downloadedContracts")
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    4. -
  4. -

    Unzip the JAR, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    task unzipContracts(type: Copy) {
-    def zipFile = new File(project.buildDir, "downloadedContracts/${contractsArtifactId}-${contractsVersion}.jar")
-    def outputDir = file("${buildDir}/unpackedContracts")
-
-    from zipTree(zipFile)
-    into outputDir
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    5. -
  5. -

    Cleanup unused contracts, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    task deleteUnwantedContracts(type: Delete) {
-    delete fileTree(dir: "${buildDir}/unpackedContracts",
-        include: "**/*",
-        excludes: [
-            "**/${project.name}/**"",
-            "**/${first-topic}/**",
-            "**/${second-topic}/**"])
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    6. -
  6. -

    Create task dependencies, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    unzipContracts.dependsOn("getContracts")
-deleteUnwantedContracts.dependsOn("unzipContracts")
-build.dependsOn("deleteUnwantedContracts")
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    7. -
  7. -

    Configure the plugin by specifying the directory that contains the contracts, by setting -the contractsDslDir property, as follows:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    contracts {
-    contractsDslDir = new File("${buildDir}/unpackedContracts")
-}
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -

8.6. How Can I Use Git as the Storage for Contracts and Stubs?

-
-

In the polyglot world, there are languages that do not use binary storages, as -Artifactory or Nexus do. Starting from Spring Cloud Contract version 2.0.0, we provide -mechanisms to store contracts and stubs in a SCM (Source Control Management) repository. Currently, the -only supported SCM is Git.

-
-
-

The repository would have to have the following setup -(which you can checkout from here):

-
-
-
-
-
-
.
-└── META-INF
-    └── com.example
-        └── beer-api-producer-git
-            └── 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
-                ├── contracts
-                │   └── beer-api-consumer
-                │       ├── messaging
-                │       │   ├── shouldSendAcceptedVerification.groovy
-                │       │   └── shouldSendRejectedVerification.groovy
-                │       └── rest
-                │           ├── shouldGrantABeerIfOldEnough.groovy
-                │           └── shouldRejectABeerIfTooYoung.groovy
-                └── mappings
-                    └── beer-api-consumer
-                        └── rest
-                            ├── shouldGrantABeerIfOldEnough.json
-                            └── shouldRejectABeerIfTooYoung.json
-
-
-
-
-
-

Under the META-INF folder:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    We group applications by groupId (such as com.example).

    -
    • -
  • -

    Each application is represented by its artifactId (for example, beer-api-producer-git).

    -
    • -
  • -

    Next, each application is organized by its version (such as 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT). Starting -from Spring Cloud Contract version 2.1.0, you can specify the versions as follows -(assuming that your versions follow semantic versioning):

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      + or latest: To find the latest version of your stubs (assuming that the snapshots -are always the latest artifact for a given revision number). That means:

      -
      -
        -
      • -

        If you have 1.0.0.RELEASE, 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT, and 2.0.0.RELEASE, we assume -that the latest is 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.

        -
        • -
      • -

        If you have 1.0.0.RELEASE and 2.0.0.RELEASE, we assume that the latest is 2.0.0.RELEASE.

        -
        • -
      • -

        If you have a version called latest or +, we will pick that folder.

        -
        • -
      -
      -
      • -
    • -

      release: To find the latest release version of your stubs. That means:

      -
      -
        -
      • -

        If you have 1.0.0.RELEASE, 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT, and 2.0.0.RELEASE we assume -that the latest is 2.0.0.RELEASE.

        -
        • -
      • -

        If you have a version called release, we pick that folder.

        -
        • -
      -
      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
-
-
-

Finally, there are two folders:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    contracts: The good practice is to store the contracts required by each -consumer in the folder with the consumer name (such as beer-api-consumer). That way, you -can use the stubs-per-consumer feature. Further directory structure is arbitrary.

    -
    • -
  • -

    mappings: The Maven or Gradle Spring Cloud Contract plugins push -the stub server mappings in this folder. On the consumer side, Stub Runner scans this folder -to start stub servers with stub definitions. The folder structure is a copy -of the one created in the contracts subfolder.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

8.6.1. Protocol Convention

-
-

To control the type and location of the source of contracts (whether -binary storage or an SCM repository), you can use the protocol in the URL of -the repository. Spring Cloud Contract iterates over registered protocol resolvers -and tries to fetch the contracts (by using a plugin) or stubs (from Stub Runner).

-
-
-

For the SCM functionality, currently, we support the Git repository. To use it, -in the property where the repository URL needs to be placed, you have to prefix -the connection URL with git://. The following listing shows some examples:

-
-
-
-
-
-
git://file:///foo/bar
-git://https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git
-git://git@github.com:spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

8.6.2. Producer

-
-

For the producer, to use the SCM (Source Control Management) approach, we can reuse the -same mechanism we use for external contracts. We route Spring Cloud Contract -to use the SCM implementation from the URL that starts with -the git:// protocol.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You have to manually add the pushStubsToScm -goal in Maven or execute (bind) the pushStubsToScm task in -Gradle. We do not push stubs to the origin of your git -repository. -
-
-
-

The following listing includes the relevant parts both Maven and Gradle build files:

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <!-- Base class mappings etc. -->
-
-        <!-- We want to pick contracts from a Git repository -->
-        <contractsRepositoryUrl>git://https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git</contractsRepositoryUrl>
-
-        <!-- We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-        to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-        path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts -->
-        <contractDependency>
-            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
-            <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
-            <version>${project.version}</version>
-        </contractDependency>
-
-        <!-- The contracts mode can't be classpath -->
-        <contractsMode>REMOTE</contractsMode>
-    </configuration>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <phase>package</phase>
-            <goals>
-                <!-- By default we will not push the stubs back to SCM,
-                you have to explicitly add it as a goal -->
-                <goal>pushStubsToScm</goal>
-            </goals>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
contracts {
-    // We want to pick contracts from a Git repository
-    contractDependency {
-        stringNotation = "${project.group}:${project.name}:${project.version}"
-    }
-    /*
-    We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-    to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-    path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts
-     */
-    contractRepository {
-        repositoryUrl = "git://https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git"
-    }
-    // The mode can't be classpath
-    contractsMode = "REMOTE"
-    // Base class mappings etc.
-}
-
-/*
-In this scenario we want to publish stubs to SCM whenever
-the `publish` task is executed
-*/
-publish.dependsOn("publishStubsToScm")
-
-
-
-

It is also possible to further customise the publishStubsToScm gradle task. In the following example, -the task is customised to pick contracts from a local git repository:

-
-
-
gradle
-
-
publishStubsToScm {
-    // We want to modify the default set up of the plugin when publish stubs to scm is called
-    // We want to pick contracts from a Git repository
-    contractDependency {
-        stringNotation = "${project.group}:${project.name}:${project.version}"
-    }
-    /*
-    We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-    to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-    path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts
-     */
-    contractRepository {
-        repositoryUrl = "git://file://${new File(project.rootDir, "../target")}/contract_empty_git/"
-    }
-    // We set the contracts mode to `LOCAL`
-    contractsMode = "LOCAL"
-    }
-
-
-
-
-
IMPORTANT
-
-

Starting with 2.3.0.RELEASE the customize{} closure previously used for the -publishStubsToScm customization is no longer available. The settings should be applied directly -within the publishStubsToScm closure as in the example above.

-
-
-
-
-
-
-

With such a setup:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    A git project is cloned to a temporary directory

    -
    • -
  • -

    The SCM stub downloader goes to META-INF/groupId/artifactId/version/contracts folder -to find contracts. For example, for com.example:foo:1.0.0, the path would be -META-INF/com.example/foo/1.0.0/contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Tests are generated from the contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Stubs are created from the contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Once the tests pass, the stubs are committed in the cloned repository.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Finally, a push is sent to that repo’s origin.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

8.6.3. Producer with Contracts Stored Locally

-
-

Another option to use the SCM as the destination for stubs and contracts is to store the -contracts locally, with the producer, and only push the contracts and the stubs to SCM. -The following listing shows the setup required to achieve this with Maven and Gradle:

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <!-- In the default configuration, we want to use the contracts stored locally -->
-    <configuration>
-        <baseClassMappings>
-            <baseClassMapping>
-                <contractPackageRegex>.*messaging.*</contractPackageRegex>
-                <baseClassFQN>com.example.BeerMessagingBase</baseClassFQN>
-            </baseClassMapping>
-            <baseClassMapping>
-                <contractPackageRegex>.*rest.*</contractPackageRegex>
-                <baseClassFQN>com.example.BeerRestBase</baseClassFQN>
-            </baseClassMapping>
-        </baseClassMappings>
-        <basePackageForTests>com.example</basePackageForTests>
-    </configuration>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <phase>package</phase>
-            <goals>
-                <!-- By default we will not push the stubs back to SCM,
-                you have to explicitly add it as a goal -->
-                <goal>pushStubsToScm</goal>
-            </goals>
-            <configuration>
-                <!-- We want to pick contracts from a Git repository -->
-                <contractsRepositoryUrl>git://file://${env.ROOT}/target/contract_empty_git/
-                </contractsRepositoryUrl>
-                <!-- Example of URL via git protocol -->
-                <!--<contractsRepositoryUrl>git://git@github.com:spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples.git</contractsRepositoryUrl>-->
-                <!-- Example of URL via http protocol -->
-                <!--<contractsRepositoryUrl>git://https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples.git</contractsRepositoryUrl>-->
-                <!-- We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-                to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-                path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts -->
-                <contractDependency>
-                    <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
-                    <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
-                    <version>${project.version}</version>
-                </contractDependency>
-                <!-- The mode can't be classpath -->
-                <contractsMode>LOCAL</contractsMode>
-            </configuration>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
contracts {
-        // Base package for generated tests
-    basePackageForTests = "com.example"
-    baseClassMappings {
-        baseClassMapping(".*messaging.*", "com.example.BeerMessagingBase")
-        baseClassMapping(".*rest.*", "com.example.BeerRestBase")
-    }
-}
-
-/*
-In this scenario we want to publish stubs to SCM whenever
-the `publish` task is executed
-*/
-publishStubsToScm {
-    // We want to modify the default set up of the plugin when publish stubs to scm is called
-    customize {
-        // We want to pick contracts from a Git repository
-        contractDependency {
-            stringNotation = "${project.group}:${project.name}:${project.version}"
-        }
-        /*
-        We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-        to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-        path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts
-         */
-        contractRepository {
-            repositoryUrl = "git://file://${new File(project.rootDir, "../target")}/contract_empty_git/"
-        }
-        // The mode can't be classpath
-        contractsMode = "LOCAL"
-    }
-}
-
-publish.dependsOn("publishStubsToScm")
-publishToMavenLocal.dependsOn("publishStubsToScm")
-
-
-
-
-
-

With such a setup:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Contracts from the default src/test/resources/contracts directory are picked.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Tests are generated from the contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Stubs are created from the contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Once the tests pass:

    -
    -
      -
    • -

      The git project is cloned to a temporary directory.

      -
      • -
    • -

      The stubs and contracts are committed in the cloned repository.

      -
      • -
    -
    -
    • -
  • -

    Finally, a push is done to that repository’s origin.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

8.6.4. Keeping Contracts with the Producer and Stubs in an External Repository

-
-

You can also keep the contracts in the producer repository but keep the stubs in an external git repository. -This is most useful when you want to use the base consumer-producer collaboration flow but cannot -use an artifact repository to store the stubs.

-
-
-

To do so, use the usual producer setup and then add the pushStubsToScm goal and set -contractsRepositoryUrl to the repository where you want to keep the stubs.

-
-
-
-

8.6.5. Consumer

-
-

On the consumer side, when passing the repositoryRoot parameter, -either from the @AutoConfigureStubRunner annotation, the -JUnit rule, JUnit 5 extension, or properties, you can pass the URL of the -SCM repository, prefixed with the git:// protocol. The following example shows how to do so:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(
-    stubsMode="REMOTE",
-    repositoryRoot="git://https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-nodejs-contracts-git.git",
-    ids="com.example:bookstore:0.0.1.RELEASE"
-)
-
-
-
-
-
-

With such a setup:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    The git project is cloned to a temporary directory.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The SCM stub downloader goes to thje META-INF/groupId/artifactId/version/ folder -to find stub definitions and contracts. For example, for com.example:foo:1.0.0, the path would be -META-INF/com.example/foo/1.0.0/.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Stub servers are started and fed with mappings.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Messaging definitions are read and used in the messaging tests.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-
-

8.7. How Can I Use the Pact Broker?

-
-

When using Pact, you can use the Pact Broker -to store and share Pact definitions. Starting from Spring Cloud Contract -2.0.0, you can fetch Pact files from the Pact Broker to generate -tests and stubs.

-
-
- - - - - -
- - -Pact follows the consumer contract convention. That means -that the consumer creates the Pact definitions first and then -shares the files with the Producer. Those expectations are generated -from the Consumer’s code and can break the Producer if the expectations -are not met. -
-
-
-

8.7.1. How to Work with Pact

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract includes support for the Pact representation of -contracts up until version 4. Instead of using the DSL, you can use Pact files. In this section, we -show how to add Pact support for your project. Note, however, that not all functionality is supported. -Starting with version 3, you can combine multiple matchers for the same element; -you can use matchers for the body, headers, request and path; and you can use value generators. -Spring Cloud Contract currently only supports multiple matchers that are combined by using the AND rule logic. -Next to that, the request and path matchers are skipped during the conversion. -When using a date, time, or datetime value generator with a given format, -the given format is skipped and the ISO format is used.

-
-
-
-

8.7.2. Pact Converter

-
-

In order to properly support the Spring Cloud Contract way of doing messaging -with Pact, you have to provide some additional meta data entries.

-
-
-

To define the destination to which a message gets sent, you have to -set a metaData entry in the Pact file with the sentTo key equal to the destination to - which a message is to be sent (for example, "metaData": { "sentTo": "activemq:output" }).

-
-
-
-

8.7.3. Pact Contract

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract can read the Pact JSON definition. You can place the file in the -src/test/resources/contracts folder. Remember to put the spring-cloud-contract-pact dependency to your classpath. The following example shows such a Pact contract:

-
-
-
-
-
-

8.7.4. Pact for Producers

-
-

On the producer side, you must add two additional dependencies to your plugin -configuration. One is the Spring Cloud Contract Pact support, and the other represents -the current Pact version that you use. The following listing shows how to do so for both -Maven and Gradle:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
// if additional dependencies are needed e.g. for Pact
-classpath "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-pact:${findProperty('verifierVersion') ?: verifierVersion}"
-
-
-
-
-
-

When you execute the build of your application, a test and stub is generated. The following -example shows a test and stub that came from this process:

-
-
-
-
-
test
-
-
@Test
-    public void validate_shouldMarkClientAsFraud() throws Exception {
-        // given:
-            MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
-                    .header("Content-Type", "application/vnd.fraud.v1+json")
-                    .body("{\"clientId\":\"1234567890\",\"loanAmount\":99999}");
-
-        // when:
-            ResponseOptions response = given().spec(request)
-                    .put("/fraudcheck");
-
-        // then:
-            assertThat(response.statusCode()).isEqualTo(200);
-            assertThat(response.header("Content-Type")).matches("application/vnd\\.fraud\\.v1\\+json.*");
-        // and:
-            DocumentContext parsedJson = JsonPath.parse(response.getBody().asString());
-            assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['rejectionReason']").isEqualTo("Amount too high");
-        // and:
-            assertThat(parsedJson.read("$.fraudCheckStatus", String.class)).matches("FRAUD");
-    }
-
-
-
-
stub

-
{

8.7.5. Pact for Consumers

-
-

On the consumer side, you must add two additional dependencies to your project -dependencies. One is the Spring Cloud Contract Pact support, and the other represents the -current Pact version that you use. The following listing shows how to do so for both -Maven and Gradle:

-
-
-
-
-
Maven
-
-
-
-
-
-
Gradle
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

8.7.6. Communicating with the Pact Broker

-
-

Whenever the repositoryRoot property starts with a Pact protocol -(starts with pact://), the stub downloader tries -to fetch the Pact contract definitions from the Pact Broker. -Whatever is set after pact:// is parsed as the Pact Broker URL.

-
-
-

By setting environment variables, system properties, or properties set -inside the plugin or contracts repository configuration, you can -tweak the downloader’s behavior. The following table describes the -properties:

-

8.7.7. Flow: Consumer Contract approach with Pact Broker | Consumer Side

-
-

The consumer uses the Pact framework to generate Pact files. The -Pact files are sent to the Pact Broker. You can find an example of such a setup -here.

-
-
-
-

8.7.8. Flow: Consumer Contract Approach with Pact Broker on the Producer Side

-
-

For the producer to use the Pact files from the Pact Broker, we can reuse the -same mechanism we use for external contracts. We route Spring Cloud Contract -to use the Pact implementation with the URL that contains -the pact:// protocol. You can pass the URL to the -Pact Broker. You can find an example of such a setup -here. -The following listing shows the configuration details for both Maven and Gradle:

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-    <extensions>true</extensions>
-    <configuration>
-        <!-- Base class mappings etc. -->
-
-        <!-- We want to pick contracts from a Git repository -->
-        <contractsRepositoryUrl>pact://http://localhost:8085</contractsRepositoryUrl>
-
-        <!-- We reuse the contract dependency section to set up the path
-        to the folder that contains the contract definitions. In our case the
-        path will be /groupId/artifactId/version/contracts -->
-        <contractDependency>
-            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
-            <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
-            <!-- When + is passed, a latest tag will be applied when fetching pacts -->
-            <version>+</version>
-        </contractDependency>
-
-        <!-- The contracts mode can't be classpath -->
-        <contractsMode>REMOTE</contractsMode>
-    </configuration>
-    <!-- Don't forget to add spring-cloud-contract-pact to the classpath! -->
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-pact</artifactId>
-            <version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
buildscript {
-    repositories {
-        //...
-    }
-
-    dependencies {
-        // ...
-        // Don't forget to add spring-cloud-contract-pact to the classpath!
-        classpath "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-pact:${contractVersion}"
-    }
-}
-
-contracts {
-    // When + is passed, a latest tag will be applied when fetching pacts
-    contractDependency {
-        stringNotation = "${project.group}:${project.name}:+"
-    }
-    contractRepository {
-        repositoryUrl = "pact://http://localhost:8085"
-    }
-    // The mode can't be classpath
-    contractsMode = "REMOTE"
-    // Base class mappings etc.
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

With such a setup:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Pact files are downloaded from the Pact Broker.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Cloud Contract converts the Pact files into tests and stubs.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The JAR with the stubs gets automatically created, as usual.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-

8.7.9. Flow: Producer Contract approach with Pact on the Consumer Side

-
-

In the scenario where you do not want to do the consumer contract approach -(for every single consumer, define the expectations) but you prefer -to do producer contracts (the producer provides the contracts and -publishes stubs), you can use Spring Cloud Contract with the -Stub Runner option. You can find an example of such a setup -here.

-
-
-

Remember to add the Stub Runner and Spring Cloud Contract Pact modules -as test dependencies.

-
-
-

The following listing shows the configuration details for both Maven and Gradle:

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<dependencyManagement>
-    <dependencies>
-        <dependency>
-            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
-            <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
-            <type>pom</type>
-            <scope>import</scope>
-        </dependency>
-    </dependencies>
-</dependencyManagement>
-
-<!-- Don't forget to add spring-cloud-contract-pact to the classpath! -->
-<dependencies>
-    <!-- ... -->
-    <dependency>
-        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner</artifactId>
-        <scope>test</scope>
-    </dependency>
-    <dependency>
-        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-        <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-pact</artifactId>
-        <scope>test</scope>
-    </dependency>
-</dependencies>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
dependencyManagement {
-    imports {
-        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
-    }
-}
-
-dependencies {
-    //...
-    testCompile("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner")
-    // Don't forget to add spring-cloud-contract-pact to the classpath!
-    testCompile("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-contract-pact")
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, you can pass the URL of the Pact Broker to repositoryRoot, prefixed -with pact:// protocol (for example, pact://http://localhost:8085), as the following -example shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest
-@AutoConfigureStubRunner(stubsMode = StubRunnerProperties.StubsMode.REMOTE,
-        ids = "com.example:beer-api-producer-pact",
-        repositoryRoot = "pact://http://localhost:8085")
-public class BeerControllerTest {
-    //Inject the port of the running stub
-    @StubRunnerPort("beer-api-producer-pact") int producerPort;
-    //...
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-

With such a setup:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Pact files are downloaded from the Pact Broker.

    -
    • -
  • -

    Spring Cloud Contract converts the Pact files into stub definitions.

    -
    • -
  • -

    The stub servers are started and fed with stubs.

    -
    • -
-
-
-
-
-

8.8. How Can I Debug the Request/Response Being Sent by the Generated Tests Client?

-
-

The generated tests all boil down to RestAssured in some form or fashion. RestAssured -relies on the Apache HttpClient. -HttpClient has a facility called -wire logging, -which logs the entire request and response to HttpClient. Spring Boot has a logging -common application property -for doing this sort of thing. To use it, add this to your application properties, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
logging.level.org.apache.http.wire=DEBUG
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

8.9. How Can I Debug the Mapping, Request, or Response Being Sent by WireMock?

-
-

Starting from version 1.2.0, we turn on WireMock logging to -info and set the WireMock notifier to being verbose. Now you can -exactly know what request was received by the WireMock server and which -matching response definition was picked.

-
-
-

To turn off this feature, set WireMock logging to ERROR, as follows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
logging.level.com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock=ERROR
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

8.10. How Can I See What Got Registered in the HTTP Server Stub?

-
-

You can use the mappingsOutputFolder property on @AutoConfigureStubRunner, StubRunnerRule, or -`StubRunnerExtension`to dump all mappings per artifact ID. Also the port at which the given stub server -was started is attached.

-
-
-
-

8.11. How Can I Reference Text from File?

-
-

In version 1.2.0, we added this ability. You can call a file(…​) method in the -DSL and provide a path relative to where the contract lies. -If you use YAML, you can use the bodyFromFile property.

-
-
-
-

8.12. How Can I Generate Pact, YAML, or X files from Spring Cloud Contract Contracts?

-
-

Spring Cloud Contract comes with a ToFileContractsTransformer class that lets you dump -contracts as files for the given ContractConverter. It contains a static void main -method that lets you execute the transformer as an executable. It takes the following -arguments:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    argument 1 : FQN: Fully qualified name of the ContractConverter (for example, PactContractConverter). REQUIRED.

    -
    • -
  • -

    argument 2 : path: Path where the dumped files should be stored. OPTIONAL — defaults to target/converted-contracts.

    -
    • -
  • -

    argument 3 : path: Path were the contracts should be searched for. OPTIONAL — defaults to src/test/resources/contracts.

    -
    • -
-
-
-

After executing the transformer, the Spring Cloud Contract files are processed and, -depending on the provided FQN of the ContractTransformer, the contracts are transformed -to the required format and dumped to the provided folder.

-
-
-

The following example shows how to configure Pact integration for both Maven and Gradle:

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<plugin>
-    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
-    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
-    <version>1.6.0</version>
-    <executions>
-        <execution>
-            <id>convert-dsl-to-pact</id>
-            <phase>process-test-classes</phase>
-            <configuration>
-                <classpathScope>test</classpathScope>
-                <mainClass>
-                    org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.util.ToFileContractsTransformer
-                </mainClass>
-                <arguments>
-                    <argument>
-                        org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.spec.pact.PactContractConverter
-                    </argument>
-                    <argument>${project.basedir}/target/pacts</argument>
-                    <argument>
-                        ${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/contracts
-                    </argument>
-                </arguments>
-            </configuration>
-            <goals>
-                <goal>java</goal>
-            </goals>
-        </execution>
-    </executions>
-</plugin>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
task convertContracts(type: JavaExec) {
-    main = "org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.util.ToFileContractsTransformer"
-    classpath = sourceSets.test.compileClasspath
-    args("org.springframework.cloud.contract.verifier.spec.pact.PactContractConverter",
-            "${project.rootDir}/build/pacts", "${project.rootDir}/src/test/resources/contracts")
-}
-
-test.dependsOn("convertContracts")
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

8.13. How Can I Work with Transitive Dependencies?

-
-

The Spring Cloud Contract plugins add the tasks that create the stubs jar for you. One -problem that arises is that, when reusing the stubs, you can mistakenly import all of -that stub’s dependencies. When building a Maven artifact, even though you have a couple -of different jars, all of them share one pom, as the following listing shows:

-
-
-
-
-
-
├── producer-0.0.1.BUILD-20160903.075506-1-stubs.jar
-├── producer-0.0.1.BUILD-20160903.075506-1-stubs.jar.sha1
-├── producer-0.0.1.BUILD-20160903.075655-2-stubs.jar
-├── producer-0.0.1.BUILD-20160903.075655-2-stubs.jar.sha1
-├── producer-0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.jar
-├── producer-0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.pom
-├── producer-0.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-stubs.jar
-├── ...
-└── ...
-
-
-
-
-
-

There are three possibilities of working with those dependencies so as not to have any -issues with transitive dependencies:

-
-
-
    -
  • -

    Mark all application dependencies as optional

    -
    • -
  • -

    Create a separate artifactid for the stubs

    -
    • -
  • -

    Exclude dependencies on the consumer side

    -
    • -
-
-
-

8.13.1. How Can I Mark All Application Dependencies as Optional?

-
-

If, in the producer application, you mark all of your dependencies as optional, -when you include the producer stubs in another application (or when that -dependency gets downloaded by Stub Runner) then, since all of the dependencies are -optional, they do not get downloaded.

-
-
-
-

8.13.2. How can I Create a Separate artifactid for the Stubs?

-
-

If you create a separate artifactid, you can set it up in whatever way you wish. -For example, you might decide to have no dependencies at all.

-
-
-
-

8.13.3. How can I Exclude Dependencies on the Consumer Side?

-
-

As a consumer, if you add the stub dependency to your classpath, you can explicitly exclude the unwanted dependencies.

-
-
-
-
-

8.14. How can I Generate Spring REST Docs Snippets from the Contracts?

-
-

When you want to include the requests and responses of your API by using Spring REST Docs, -you only need to make some minor changes to your setup if you are using MockMvc and RestAssuredMockMvc. -To do so, include the following dependencies (if you have not already done so):

-
-
-
-
-
maven
-
-
<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier</artifactId>
-    <scope>test</scope>
-</dependency>
-<dependency>
-    <groupId>org.springframework.restdocs</groupId>
-    <artifactId>spring-restdocs-mockmvc</artifactId>
-    <optional>true</optional>
-</dependency>
-
-
-
-
gradle
-
-
testImplementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier'
-testImplementation 'org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-mockmvc'
-
-
-
-
-
-

Next, you need to make some changes to your base class. The following examples use -WebAppContext and the standalone option with RestAssured:

-
-
-
-
-
WebAppContext
-
-
package com.example.fraud;
-
-import io.restassured.module.mockmvc.RestAssuredMockMvc;
-import org.junit.Before;

-import static org.springframework.restdocs.mockmvc.MockMvcRestDocumentation.document;
-import static org.springframework.restdocs.mockmvc.MockMvcRestDocumentation.documentationConfiguration;
-
-@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
-@SpringBootTest(classes = Application.class)
-public abstract class FraudBaseWithWebAppSetup {
-
-    private static final String OUTPUT = "target/generated-snippets";
-
-    @Rule
-    public JUnitRestDocumentation restDocumentation = new JUnitRestDocumentation(OUTPUT);
-
-    @Rule
-    public TestName testName = new TestName();
-
-    @Autowired
-    private WebApplicationContext context;
-
-    @Before
-    public void setup() {
-        RestAssuredMockMvc.mockMvc(MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.context)
-                .apply(documentationConfiguration(this.restDocumentation))
-                .alwaysDo(document(
-                        getClass().getSimpleName() + "_" + testName.getMethodName()))
-                .build());
-    }
-
-    protected void assertThatRejectionReasonIsNull(Object rejectionReason) {
-        assert rejectionReason == null;
-    }
-
-}
-
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
-
- - - - - -
- - -You need not specify the output directory for the generated snippets (since version 1.2.0.RELEASE of Spring REST Docs). -
-
-
-
-

8.15. How can I Use Stubs from a Location

-
-

If you want to fetch contracts or stubs from a given location without cloning a repo or fetching a JAR, just use the stubs:// protocol when providing the repository root argument for Stub Runner or the Spring Cloud Contract plugin. You can read more about this in this section of the documentation.

-
-
-
-

8.16. How can I Generate Stubs at Runtime

-
-

If you want to generate stubs at runtime for contracts, it’s enough to switch the generateStubs property in the @AutoConfigureStubRunner annotation, or call the withGenerateStubs(true) method on the JUnit Rule or Extension. You can read more about this in this section of the documentation.

-
-
-
-

8.17. How can I Make The Build Pass if There Are No Contracts or Stubs

-
-

If you want Stub Runner not to fail if no stubs were found, it’s enough to switch the generateStubs property in the @AutoConfigureStubRunner annotation, or call the withFailOnNoStubs(false) method on the JUnit Rule or Extension. You can read more about this in this section of the documentation.

-
-
-

If you want the plugins not to fail the build when no contracts were found, you can set the failOnNoStubs flag in Maven or call the contractRepository { failOnNoStubs(false) } Closure in Gradle.

-
-
-
-

8.18. How can I Mark that a Contract Is in Progress

-
-

If a contract is in progress, it means that the on the producer side tests will not be generated, but the stub will be. You can read more about this in this section of the documentation.

-
-
-

In a CI build, before going to production, you would like to ensure that no in progress contracts are there on the classpath. That’s because you may lead to false positives. That’s why, by default, in the Spring Cloud Contract plugin, we set the value of failOnInProgress to true. If you want to allow such contracts when tests are to be generated, just set the flag to false.
