Camel JUnit-Tests: wrong results with parallel execution












2















I use camel.version 2.18.1 and spring-boot 1.5.1.RELEASE.

I have some more or less complex Camel routes, where messages from MQ Topics will be consumed, filtered, transformed and finally routed to different MQ Topics.



from("{{sourceEP}}").to("{{archiveEP}}")
.process(new MyProcessor())
.to("{{archiveEP}}").to("{{resultEP}}");


application.properties



sourceEP=jms:topic:SOURCE
archiveEP=jms:topic:ARCHIVE
resultEP=jms:topic:TARGET


For each route there exists more then 40 different scenarios. Therefore I have nearly 50 JUnit-Tests for each route, in total I have nearly 400 JUnit-Tests which I run with the maven-surefire-plugin to achieve parallel test execution.



<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<configuration>
<parallel>classes</parallel>
<threadCount>4</threadCount>
</configuration>
</plugin>


The problem is when the JUnit-Tests run in parallel, this will result in inconsistences in the producer endpoints (EDIT: for testing I use the Mock endpoints from Camel). The parallel tests affected the other tests and the expected number of messages in the target endpoints are incorrect.



Test: application.properties



sourceEP=direct:start
archiveEP=mock:archive
resultEP=mock:result


RouteTest.java



@RunWith(CamelSpringBootRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = MyApplication.class)
public class RouteTest {
@Autowired
private CamelContext context;

@EndpointInject(uri = "{{archiveEP}}")
protected MockEndpoint archiveEndpoint;

@EndpointInject(uri = "{{resultEP}}")
protected MockEndpoint resultEndpoint;

@Produce(uri = "{{sourceEP}}")
protected ProducerTemplate sourceEndpoint;

@Before
public void setup() {
sourceEndpoint.cleanUp();
archiveEndpoint.reset();
resultEndpoint.reset();
}

@Test
public void test1() throws Exception {
sourceEndpoint.sendBody("some text");

archiveEndpoint.expectedMessageCount(2);
archiveEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied();

resultEndpoint.expectedMessageCount(1);
resultEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied();

resultEndpoint.expectedBodiesReceived("expected output");
}

@Test
public void test2() throws Exception {
sourceEndpoint.sendBody("another text");

archiveEndpoint.expectedMessageCount(2);
archiveEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied();

resultEndpoint.expectedMessageCount(1);
resultEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied();

resultEndpoint.expectedBodiesReceived("another output");
}

...
}


My question, is it possible at all to run the JUnit-Tests of Camel routes in parallel?



I tried to add @DirtiesContext on the test methods to force Spring Testing to automatically reload the CamelContext after each test method: http://camel.apache.org/testing.html

Which of course is not working at parallel test execution, because the result is still random and the expected number of messages is incorrect.



I ended up to set these tests which will test the Camel routes to @NotThreadSafe to enforce a single thread execution. Only these JUnit-Tests which will test other functionality than the Camel routing are executed in parallel.



But this is not a satisfied solution concerning the amount of nearly 400 JUnit-Tests.

Isn't there any configuration or setting to test Camel routes in parallel which will work correct?
