You always need confidence when pushing new features into a new application or service in a distributed system. To that end, this project provides support for Consumer-driven Contracts and service schemas in Spring applications, covering a range of options for writing tests, publishing them as assets, and asserting that a contract is kept by producers and consumers — for both HTTP and message-based interactions.
If you prefer to learn about the project by doing some tutorials, you can check out the workshops under this link.
Tip

The Accurest project was initially started by Marcin Grzejszczak and Jakub Kubrynski (Codearte) |
Spring Cloud Contract Verifier enables Consumer Driven Contract (CDC) development of JVM-based applications. It moves TDD to the level of software architecture.
Spring Cloud Contract Verifier ships with Contract Definition Language (CDL). Contract definitions are used to produce the following resources:
JSON stub definitions to be used by WireMock when doing integration testing on the client code (client tests). Test code must still be written by hand, and test data is produced by Spring Cloud Contract Verifier.
Messaging routes, if you’re using a messaging service. We integrate with Spring Integration, Spring Cloud Stream, Spring AMQP, and Apache Camel. You can also set your own integrations.
Acceptance tests (in JUnit or Spock) are used to verify if server-side implementation of the API is compliant with the contract (server tests). A full test is generated by Spring Cloud Contract Verifier.
Assume that we have a system consisting of multiple microservices:
If we wanted to test the application in top left corner 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/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 6 microservices, a couple of databases, etc.
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/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 Verifier with Stub Runner 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.
Spring Cloud Contract Verifier gives you the certainty that the stubs that you use were created by the service that you’re calling. Also, if you can use them, it means that they were tested against the producer’s side. In short, you can trust those stubs.
The main purposes of Spring Cloud Contract Verifier with Stub Runner are:
To ensure that WireMock/Messaging stubs (used when developing the client) do exactly what the actual server-side implementation does.
To promote ATDD method and 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.
Important

Spring Cloud Contract Verifier’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 2 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. |
This section explores how Spring Cloud Contract Verifier with Stub Runner works.
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.
Assume that you want to send a request containing 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.
package contracts
org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.Contract.make {
request { // (1)
method 'PUT' // (2)
url '/fraudcheck' // (3)
body([ // (4)
"client.id": $(regex('[0-9]{10}')),
loanAmount: 99999
])
headers { // (5)
contentType('application/json')
}
}
response { // (6)
status 200 // (7)
body([ // (8)
fraudCheckStatus: "FRAUD",
"rejection.reason": "Amount too high"
])
headers { // (9)
contentType('application/json')
}
}
}
/*
From the Consumer perspective, when shooting a request in the integration test:
(1) - If the consumer sends a request
(2) - With the "PUT" method
(3) - to the URL "/fraudcheck"
(4) - with the JSON body that
* has a field `client.id` that matches a regular expression `[0-9]{10}`
* has a field `loanAmount` that is equal to `99999`
(5) - with header `Content-Type` equal to `application/json`
(6) - then the response will be sent with
(7) - status equal `200`
(8) - and JSON body equal to
{ "fraudCheckStatus": "FRAUD", "rejectionReason": "Amount too high" }
(9) - with header `Content-Type` equal to `application/json`
From the Producer perspective, in the autogenerated producer-side test:
(1) - A request will be sent to the producer
(2) - With the "PUT" method
(3) - to the URL "/fraudcheck"
(4) - with the JSON body that
* has a field `client.id` that will have a generated value that matches a regular expression `[0-9]{10}`
* has a field `loanAmount` that is equal to `99999`
(5) - with header `Content-Type` equal to `application/json`
(6) - then the test will assert if the response has been sent with
(7) - status equal `200`
(8) - and JSON body equal to
{ "fraudCheckStatus": "FRAUD", "rejectionReason": "Amount too high" }
(9) - with header `Content-Type` matching `application/json.*`

Spring Cloud Contract generates stubs, which you can use during client-side testing. You get a running WireMock instance/Messaging route that simulates the service. You would like to feed that instance with a proper stub definition.
At some point in time, you need to send a request to the Fraud Detection service.
ResponseEntity<FraudServiceResponse> response =
restTemplate.exchange("http://localhost:" + port + "/fraudcheck", HttpMethod.PUT,
new HttpEntity<>(request, httpHeaders),
FraudServiceResponse.class);
Annotate your test class with @AutoConfigureStubRunner
. In the annotation provide the group id and artifact id for the Stub Runner to download stubs of your collaborators.
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.NONE)
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:6565"}, workOffline = true)
public class LoanApplicationServiceTests {
After that, during the tests, Spring Cloud Contract automatically finds the stubs (simulating the real service) in the Maven repository and exposes them on a configured (or random) port.
Since you are developing your stub, you need to be sure that it actually resembles your concrete implementation. You cannot have a situation where your stub acts in one way and your application behaves in a different way, especially in production.
To ensure that your application behaves the way you define in your stub, tests are generated from the stub you provide.
The autogenerated test looks, more or less, like this:
@Test
public void validate_shouldMarkClientAsFraud() throws Exception {
// given:
MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
.header("Content-Type", "application/vnd.fraud.v1+json")
.body("{\"client.id\":\"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("['fraudCheckStatus']").matches("[A-Z]{5}");
assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['rejection.reason']").isEqualTo("Amount too high");
}
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, then
we mark the client as a fraud.
Technical remark - Fraud Detection has an artifact-id
of http-server
, while Loan
Issuance has an artifact-id of http-client
, and both have a group-id
of com.example
.
Social remark - both client and server development teams need to communicate directly and discuss changes while going through the process. CDC is all about communication.
Tip

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

As a developer of the Loan Issuance service (a consumer of the Fraud Detection server), you might do the following steps:
Start doing TDD by writing a test for your feature.
Write the missing implementation.
Clone the Fraud Detection service repository locally.
Define the contract locally in the repo of Fraud Detection service.
Add the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier plugin.
Run the integration tests.
File a pull request.
Create an initial implementation.
Take over the pull request.
Write the missing implementation.
Deploy your app.
Work online.
Start doing TDD by writing a test for your feature.
@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 via the PUT
method.
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.
$ git clone https://your-git-server.com/server-side.git local-http-server-repo
Define the contract locally in the repo of 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:
Important
|
Place the contract under src/test/resources/contracts/fraud folder. The fraud folder
is important because the producer’s test base class name references that folder.

The YML contract is quite straight-forward. However when you take a look at the Contract
written using 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, etc., which are 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
matching those values for the consumer side. You can provide the body by means of either
a map notation or String with interpolations.
Consult the docs
for more information. We highly recommend using the map notation!
Tip
|
You must understand the map notation in order to set up contracts. Please read 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
,
and 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 FRAUD
and
the rejectionReason
field having value Amount too high
,
and 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, you see how to add Maven.
First, add the Spring Cloud Contract
BOM.
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud-dependencies.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
Next, add the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier
Maven plugin
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<packageWithBaseClasses>com.example.fraud</packageWithBaseClasses>
</configuration>
</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. When you execute:
$ cd local-http-server-repo
$ ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
In the logs, you see something like this:
[INFO] --- spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin:1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT:generateStubs (default-generateStubs) @ http-server ---

The following line is extremely important:

It confirms that the stubs of the http-server
have been installed in the local
repository.
Run 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
):
Add the Spring Cloud Contract
BOM:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud-dependencies.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
Add the dependency to Spring Cloud Contract Stub Runner
:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
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’re playing with the collaborators offline, you
can also provide the offline work switch.
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.NONE)
@AutoConfigureStubRunner(ids = {"com.example:http-server-dsl:+:stubs:6565"}, workOffline = true)
public class LoanApplicationServiceTests {
Now, when you run your tests, you see something like this:

.
File 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, publish a pull request to the server side. Currently, the consumer side work is done.
As a developer of the Fraud Detection server (a server to the Loan Issuance service):
Create an initial implementation.
As a reminder, you can see the initial implementation here:
@RequestMapping(value = "/fraudcheck", method = PUT)
public FraudCheckResult fraudCheck(@RequestBody FraudCheck fraudCheck) {
return new FraudCheckResult(FraudCheckStatus.OK, NO_REASON);
}
Take over the pull request.
$ 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:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
In the configuration of the Maven plugin, pass the packageWithBaseClasses
property
<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>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Important
|
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, use Rest Assured MVC to
start the server side FraudDetectionController
.
package com.example.fraud;
import org.junit.Before;
import io.restassured.module.mockmvc.RestAssuredMockMvc;
public class FraudBase {
@Before
public void setup() {
RestAssuredMockMvc.standaloneSetup(new FraudDetectionController(),
new FraudStatsController(stubbedStatsProvider()));
}
private StatsProvider stubbedStatsProvider() {
return fraudType -> {
switch (fraudType) {
case DRUNKS:
return 100;
case ALL:
return 200;
}
return 0;
};
}
public void assertThatRejectionReasonIsNull(Object rejectionReason) {
assert rejectionReason == null;
}
}
Now, if you run the ./mvnw clean install
, you get something like this:
Results :
Tests in error:
ContractVerifierTest.validate_shouldMarkClientAsFraud:32 » IllegalState Parsed...
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 this:
@Test
public void validate_shouldMarkClientAsFraud() throws Exception {
// given:
MockMvcRequestSpecification request = given()
.header("Content-Type", "application/vnd.fraud.v1+json")
.body("{\"client.id\":\"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("['fraudCheckStatus']").matches("[A-Z]{5}");
assertThatJson(parsedJson).field("['rejection.reason']").isEqualTo("Amount too high");
}
If you used the Groovy DSL, you can see, all 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 also is 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:
@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 execute ./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.
Deploy your app.
Once you finish your work, you can deploy your change. First, merge the branch:
$ git checkout master
$ git merge --no-ff contract-change-pr
$ git push origin master
Your CI might run something like ./mvnw clean deploy
, which would publish both the
application and the stub artifacts.
As a developer of the Loan Issuance service (a consumer of the Fraud Detection server):
Merge branch to master.
$ git checkout master
$ git merge --no-ff contract-change-pr
Work 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 switch off the value of
the workOffline
parameter in your annotation. 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!
The best way to add dependencies is to use the proper starter
dependency.
For stub-runner
, use spring-cloud-starter-stub-runner
. When you use a plugin, add
spring-cloud-starter-contract-verifier
.
Here are some resources related to Spring Cloud Contract Verifier and Stub Runner. Note that some may be outdated, because the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier project is under constant development.
You can find some samples at samples.
The following links may be helpful when working with Spring Cloud Contract Verifier:
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
in
order to be able to use Wiremock in your tests. Wiremock runs as a stub server and you
can register stub behavior using a Java API or via static JSON declarations as part of
your test. The following code shows an example:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
@AutoConfigureWireMock(port = 0)
public class WiremockForDocsTests {
// A service that calls out over HTTP
@Autowired private Service service;
// 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 will be cached in between methods and classes
having the same context, the same as for Spring integration tests.
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 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!"); } }
Note
|
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.
|
WireMock can read response bodies from files on the classpath or the file system. In that
case, 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.
Note
|
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.
|
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 shown in the following example:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class WiremockForDocsClassRuleTests {
// Start WireMock on some dynamic port
// for some reason `dynamicPort()` is not working properly
@ClassRule
public static WireMockClassRule wiremock = new WireMockClassRule(
WireMockSpring.options().dynamicPort());
// A service that calls out over HTTP to localhost:${wiremock.port}
@Autowired
private Service service;
// 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.
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’s 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 be using the Spring Boot
RestTemplateBuilder
in your app, as shown in the following example:
@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 are using the @AutoConfigureWireMock
annotation or the stub runner. If you use the JUnit @Rule
approach, you need to add the
@AutoConfigureHttpClient
annotation as well, as shown in the following example:
@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 are using 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
won’t do any harm). There is no support currently for other clients, but it may be added
in future releases.
Spring Cloud Contract provides a convenience class that can load JSON WireMock stubs into
a Spring MockRestServiceServer
. The following code shows an example:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@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 https://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 example above), or an Ant-style
pattern. The JSON format is the normal WireMock format, which you can read about in 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).
You can register a bean of org.springframework.cloud.contract.wiremock.WireMockConfigurationCustomizer
type
in order to customize the WireMock configuration (e.g. add custom transformers).
Example:
@Bean WireMockConfigurationCustomizer optionsCustomizer() {
return new WireMockConfigurationCustomizer() {
@Override public void customize(WireMockConfiguration options) {
// perform your customization here
}
};
}
Spring REST Docs can be used to generate
documentation (for example in Asciidoctor format) for an HTTP API with Spring MockMvc or
Rest Assured. 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. The following code shows an
example:
@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.
Without any additional configuration, this tests creates 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 shown in the following
example:
@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")
.stub("resource"));
}
}
This 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.
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 shown in the
following example:
@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("$.id"))
.stub("post-resource"));
}
The WireMock API is rich. You can match headers, query parameters, and request body by regex as well as by JSON path. These features can be used to create stubs with a wider range of parameters. The above example generates a stub resembling the following example:
{
"request" : {
"url" : "/resource",
"method" : "POST",
"bodyPatterns" : [ {
"matchesJsonPath" : "$.id"
}]
},
"response" : {
"status" : 200,
"body" : "Hello World",
"headers" : {
"X-Application-Context" : "application:-1",
"Content-Type" : "text/plain"
}
}
}
Note
|
You can use either the wiremock() method or the jsonPath() and contentType()
methods to create request matchers, but you can’t 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 using WireMock in a
number of different ways, including by using
@AutoConfigureWireMock(stubs="classpath:resource.json")
, as described earlier in this
document.
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.
Tip
|
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"))
.stub("shouldGrantABeerIfOldEnough"))
// 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 look like 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 200
body('''
bar
''')
headers {
header('''Content-Type''', '''application/json;charset=UTF-8''')
header('''Content-Length''', '''3''')
}
testMatchers {
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
.

Spring Cloud Build comes with a set of checkstyle rules. You can find them in the spring-cloud-build-tools
module. The most notable files under the module are:
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml (3) └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt (2) └── checkstyle.xml (1)

Checkstyle rules are disabled by default. To add checkstyle to your project just define the following properties and plugins.
<properties> <maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnError>true</maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnError> (1) <maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnViolation>true </maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnViolation> (2) <maven-checkstyle-plugin.includeTestSourceDirectory>true </maven-checkstyle-plugin.includeTestSourceDirectory> (3) </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> (4) <groupId>io.spring.javaformat</groupId> <artifactId>spring-javaformat-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> <plugin> (5) <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> (5) <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> </build>

Checkstyle analyzes also the test sources
Add the Spring Java Format plugin that will reformat your code to pass most of the Checkstyle formatting rules
Add checkstyle plugin to your build and reporting phases
If you need to suppress some rules (e.g. line length needs to be longer), then it’s enough for you to define a file under ${project.root}/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
with your suppressions. Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE suppressions PUBLIC "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Suppressions 1.1//EN" "https://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/suppressions_1_1.dtd"> <suppressions> <suppress files=".*ConfigServerApplication\.java" checks="HideUtilityClassConstructor"/> <suppress files=".*ConfigClientWatch\.java" checks="LineLengthCheck"/> </suppressions>
It’s advisable to copy the ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.editorconfig
and ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.springformat
to your project. That way, some default formatting rules will be applied. You can do so by running this script:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/.editorconfig -o .editorconfig
$ touch .springformat
In order to setup Intellij you should import our coding conventions, inspection profiles and set up the checkstyle plugin.
