Spring unit tests [webflux, cloud]
I am new to the topic of unit testing and my question is whether I should perform the test as such of each line of code of a method or in what ways I can perform these tests to have a good coverage, if also, should exceptions be evaluated or not?
If for example I have this service method that also uses some helpers that communicate with other microservices, someone could give me examples of how to perform, thank you very much.
public Mono<BankAccountDto> save(BankAccountDto bankAccount) {
var count = findAccountsByCustomerId(bankAccount.getCustomerId()).count();
var customerDto = webClientCustomer
.findCustomerById(bankAccount.getCustomerId());
var accountType = bankAccount.getAccountType();
return customerDto
.zipWith(count)
.flatMap(tuple -> {
final CustomerDto custDto = tuple.getT1();
final long sizeAccounts = tuple.getT2();
final var customerType = custDto.getCustomerType();
if (webClientCustomer.isCustomerAuthorized(customerType, accountType, sizeAccounts)) {
return saveBankAccountAndRole(bankAccount);
}
return Mono.error(new Exception("....."));
});
}
EDIT
public Mono<BankAccountDto> save(BankAccountDto bankAccount) {
var count = findAccountsByCustomerId(bankAccount.getCustomerId()).count();
var customerDto = webClientCustomer
.findCustomerById(bankAccount.getCustomerId());
return customerDto
.zipWith(count)
.flatMap(tuple -> {
final var customDto = tuple.getT1();
final var sizeAccounts = tuple.getT2();
final var accountType = bankAccount.getAccountType();
// EDITED
return webClientCustomer.isCustomerAuthorized(customDto, accountType, sizeAccounts)
.flatMap(isAuthorized -> {
if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(isAuthorized)) {
return saveBankAccountAndRole(bankAccount);
}
return Mono.error(new Exception("No tiene permisos para registrar una cuenta bancaria"));
});
});
}
Given that you want to unit test this code, you would need to mock dependencies such as webClientCustomer
.
Then you should always test whatever are the relevant paths within the code. Looking at your code I only see three relevant ones to be tested:
- the method returns an empty
Mono
ifwebClientCustomer.findCustomerById(bankAccount.getCustomerId());
returns an emptyMono
; -
saveBankAccountAndRole(bankAccount)
is called and yoursave()
method actually returns whateversaveBankAccountAndRole(bankAccount)
returns. This would should happen ifwebClientCustomer.isCustomerAuthorized(customerType, accountType, sizeAccounts)
istrue
; - the method returns an exception if
webClientCustomer.isCustomerAuthorized(customerType, accountType, sizeAccounts)
isfalse
.
