WireMock Spring Boot

WireMock Spring Boot library drastically simplifies WireMock configuration in a Spring Boot and JUnit 5 application.

🤩 Highlights

• fully declarative WireMock setup
• support for multiple WireMockServer instances - one per HTTP client as recommended in the WireMock documentation
• automatically sets Spring environment properties
• does not pollute Spring application context with extra beans

🤔 How to install

Add the dependency to wiremock-spring-boot:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.maciejwalkowiak.spring</groupId>
    <artifactId>wiremock-spring-boot</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

✨ How to use

Use @EnableWireMock with @ConfigureWireMock with tests annotated that use SpringExtension, like @SpringBootTest:

@SpringBootTest
@EnableWireMock({
        @ConfigureWireMock(name = "user-service", property = "user-client.url")
})
class TodoControllerTests {

    @InjectWireMock("user-service")
    private WireMockServer wiremock;
    
    @Autowired
    private Environment env;

    @Test
    void aTest() {
        env.getProperty("user-client.url"); // returns a URL to WireMockServer instance
        wiremock.stubFor(...);
    }
}

• @EnableWireMock adds test context customizer and enables WireMockSpringExtension
• @ConfigureWireMock creates a WireMockServer and passes the WireMockServer#baseUrl to a Spring environment property with a name given by property.
• @InjectWireMock injects WireMockServer instance to a test

Note that WireMockServer instances are not added as beans to Spring application context to avoid polluting it with test-related infrastructure. Instead, instances are kept in a separate store associated with an application context.

Registering WireMock extensions

WireMock extensions can be registered independently with each @ConfigureWireMock:

@ConfigureWireMock(name = "...", property = "...", extensions = { ... })

Customizing mappings directory

By default, each WireMockServer is configured to load mapping files from a classpath directory wiremock/{server-name}/mappings.

It can be changed with setting stubLocation on @ConfigureWireMock:

@ConfigureWireMock(name = "...", property = "...", stubLocation = "my-stubs")
