Class Overview

TestExecutionListener which provides support for dependency injection and initialization of test instances.

Summary

Fields
public static final String REINJECT_DEPENDENCIES_ATTRIBUTE Attribute name for a TestContext attribute which indicates whether or not the dependencies of a test instance should be reinjected in beforeTestMethod().
Public Constructors
DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener()
Public Methods
void beforeTestMethod(TestContext testContext)
If the REINJECT_DEPENDENCIES_ATTRIBUTE in the supplied test context has a value of TRUE, this method will have the same effect as prepareTestInstance(); otherwise, this method will have no effect.
void prepareTestInstance(TestContext testContext)
Performs dependency injection on the test instance of the supplied test context by autowiring and initializing the test instance via its own application context (without checking dependencies).
Protected Methods
void injectDependencies(TestContext testContext)
Performs dependency injection and bean initialization for the supplied TestContext as described in prepareTestInstance().

Fields

public static final String REINJECT_DEPENDENCIES_ATTRIBUTE

Attribute name for a TestContext attribute which indicates whether or not the dependencies of a test instance should be reinjected in beforeTestMethod(). Note that dependencies will be injected in prepareTestInstance() in any case.

Clients of a TestContext (e.g., other TestExecutionListeners) may therefore choose to set this attribute to signal that dependencies should be reinjected between execution of individual test methods.

Permissible values include TRUE and FALSE.

Public Constructors

public DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener ()

Public Methods

public void beforeTestMethod (TestContext testContext)

If the REINJECT_DEPENDENCIES_ATTRIBUTE in the supplied test context has a value of TRUE, this method will have the same effect as prepareTestInstance(); otherwise, this method will have no effect.

Parameters
testContext the test context in which the test method will be executed; never null
Throws
Exception

public void prepareTestInstance (TestContext testContext)

Performs dependency injection on the test instance of the supplied test context by autowiring and initializing the test instance via its own application context (without checking dependencies).

The REINJECT_DEPENDENCIES_ATTRIBUTE will be subsequently removed from the test context, regardless of its value.

Parameters
testContext the test context for the test; never null
Throws
Exception

Protected Methods

protected void injectDependencies (TestContext testContext)

Performs dependency injection and bean initialization for the supplied TestContext as described in prepareTestInstance().

The REINJECT_DEPENDENCIES_ATTRIBUTE will be subsequently removed from the test context, regardless of its value.

Parameters
testContext the test context for which dependency injection should be performed (never null)
Throws
Exception allows any exception to propagate
