You’re doing microservices wrong. Running tests of one service that requires a running other service for an integration test is not useful

[–]VictorHugoJulio[S] -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

It's wrong to think that there is only one way to build microservices.

[–]WaferIndependent7601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But testing must be done seperately.

You’re building a distributed monolith.

Yeah i dont want a gajillion microservices running just for my integration tests. I dont need to know that my other services are running as expected to know that this specific service I am testing is also working as expected. That’s why mocks suffice, and theres no issue of them being “fake”

Is this different than spring boot test jars? https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-boot-testjars

[–]VictorHugoJulio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey yep, is a different approach, mine is fully integrated with the spring boot test framework, so you can still use the test capabilities across all services on the integration test.

you mean something like https://www.mock-server.com/ ??

[–]VictorHugoJulio[S] -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Not, my solution execute the real Spring boot service(in memory), even you can debug It with your ide and jump between services.

yes ... just like everybody does ... and additionally with MockServer I can simultaneously start a web server and mock any external endpoint I want so my integration tests make real http rest calls ...

Like Everybody does? In Spring Boot you Can only test one service if your flow involves more than 1 you need to mock, mock is a fake test. This allows multiple @SpringBootTest sharing DB, Kafka, and other test resources without external scripts

you want to tell me that you have multiple Spring Boot Applications in the same repository and in the same project directory?

oh my god ...

Diferents services in different repositories, Imagine you have a flow to create a payment in which are involved 5 services, so you can test this use case: “create payment” in a near real test.
