Avoid connecting to database while running the contextLoads unit test

Question

I am very new to spring boot and is currently trying to create a demo project with few simple rest apis. The database connection I use is to Postgresql and its parameters are defined in application.properties. I have a mvc controller, model, repository and service. I was able to run unit tests for all layers after mocking the repository except the contextLoads() test which was automatically created.

The files are as below

MyServiceContoller.java

@RestController
public class MyServiceController {
   private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyServiceController.class);
   private final MyService service;

User model

@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
public class User {
   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
   private long id;

User repository interface

public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {

Service implementation

@Service
public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {

   private final UserRepository userRepository;

   public MyServiceImpl(UserRepository repository) {
       this.userRepository = repository;
   }

Main file

@SpringBootApplication
public class SimpleRestApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       SpringApplication.run(SimpleRestApplication.class, args);
   }

}

Application.properties file

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://${DB_HOST}:5432/testdb
spring.datasource.username=${DB_USER}
spring.datasource.password=${DB_PWD}

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation= true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect= org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect

#Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, validate, update)
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto= update

Now i get error while running mvn test for the below class

@SpringBootTest
class SimpleRestApplicationTests {
   @Test
   void contextLoads() {
   }
}

The error trace is as below

In all other test classes I have added the following Mock

@MockBean
UserRepository userRepository;

But even after adding it to SimpleApplicationTests class I still get the same error

How can i avoid connecting to the database while running these tests?

Since DB_HOST, DB_USER and DB_PWD are variable replacements during context loading, you will have to provide them. Pass them as Java properties -DDB_HOST=1.1.1.1, etc. If you are using Gradle to run the tests, then set up the property in the bui;d.gradle using test{ systemProperty "DB_HOST", "1.1.1.1" ... }. — Sree Kumar

@SreeKumar, i ran the test as you suggested by giving random values for the db connection parameters mvn -DDB_HOST=localhost -DDB_USER=someuser -DDB_PWD=somepwd test. But it doesnt work. As soon as I change it to the right values the tests pass — Shaiju Janardhanan

Sorry, I am not well versed with Maven. In Gradle, what you pass as -D doesn't get passed to the spawned JVMs by default. You will have to explicitly pass it using the mechanism I mentioned - test{ systemProperty... }. There must be some similar thing in Maven too. — Sree Kumar

@slauth deleting it was simpler :). Anyway that test had nothing other than contextLoads — Shaiju Janardhanan

If you don't want your integration tests to use a PostgreSQL database you could use a lightweight in-memory database for integration testing. An example setup using H2:

add H2 dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
    <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

provide an additional application.properties in src/test/resources:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb

actually i took your earlier recommendation and removed the test. But i will keep this in mind while adding integration tests. As of now there are only unit tests. Thanks
