Test Component
...
...
The test
component extends the Mock component to support pulling messages from another endpoint on startup to set the expected message bodies on the underlying Mock endpoint. That is, you use the test endpoint in a route and messages arriving on it will be implicitly compared to some expected messages extracted from some other location.
So you can use, for example, an expected set of message bodies as files. This will then set up a properly configured Mock endpoint, which is only valid if the received messages match the number of expected messages and their message payloads are equal.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component when using Camel 2.8 or older:
Code Block |
---|
|
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-spring</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
|
From Camel 2.9: the Test component is provided directly in camel-core
.
URI format
Code Block |
---|
test:expectedMessagesEndpointUri
|
Where Where expectedMessagesEndpointUri
refers to some other Component URI that the expected message bodies are pulled from before starting the test.

anyOrder
| false
| Camel 2.17: Whether the expected messages should arrive in the same order, or in any order. | delimiter
| \n|\r
| Camel 2.17: The delimiter to use when split=true . The delimiter can be a regular expression. | split
| false
| Camel 2.17: If true messages loaded from the test endpoint will be split using the defined delimiter .For example to use a file endpoint to load a file where each line is an expected message. | timeout
| 2000
| Camel 2.12: The timeout to use when polling for message bodies from the URI. |
|
Example
For example, you could write a test case as follows:
Code Block |
---|
|
from("seda:someEndpoint").
.to("test:file://data/expectedOutput?noop=true");
|
If your test then invokes the MockEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied(camelContext) method, your test case will perform the necessary assertions.
Here is a real example test case using Mock and Spring along with its Spring XML.
To see how you can set other expectations on the test endpoint, see the Mock component.
