Unit Testing

The package artemis-junit provides tools to facilitate how to run Artemis resources inside JUnit Tests.

These are provided as JUnit "rules" and can make it easier to embed messaging functionality on your tests.

Example

Import this on your pom.xml

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
   <artifactId>artemis-junit</artifactId>
   <!-- replace this for the version you are using -->
   <version>2.5.0</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Declare a rule on your JUnit Test

import org.apache.activemq.artemis.junit.EmbeddedActiveMQResource;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;

public class MyTest {

   @Rule
   public EmbeddedActiveMQResource resource = new EmbeddedActiveMQResource();

   @Test
   public void myTest() {

   }
}

This will start a server that will be available for your test:

Ordering rules

This is actually a JUnit feature, but this could be helpful on pre-determining the order on which rules are executed.

ActiveMQDynamicProducerResource producer = new ActiveMQDynamicProducerResource(server.getVmURL());

@Rule
public RuleChain ruleChain = RuleChain.outerRule(new ThreadLeakCheckRule()).around(server).around(producer);
