grailsApplication autowiring to spock tests are always null - grails

Spock tests injects null to grailsApplication,as i tried autowiring both to grails service and to domain objects(spec)
code(AttackSpec.groovy)
package core
import grails.test.mixin.TestFor
import grails.test.mixin.TestMixin
import grails.test.mixin.support.GrailsUnitTestMixin
import spock.lang.Specification
/**
* See the API for {#link grails.test.mixin.domain.DomainClassUnitTestMixin} for usage instructions
*/
#TestMixin(GrailsUnitTestMixin)
#TestFor(Attack)
class AttackSpec extends Specification {
def grailsApplication
def setup() {
Attack attack = new Attack();
println 'app '+grailsApplication.toString()
}
def cleanup() {
}
void "test something"() {
setup:
println 'app '+grailsApplication.toString()
}
}
output

I have tried using explicit #Autowired annotation and Static Typing,yet it's always the same. it seems like I have to inflate the grails application somewhere?

It sounds like you want to be running an integration test and not a unit test. Move your class under the integrations test folder and you may need to eliminate your test class annotations because I think those are only for unit testing.

What is the point of injecting grailsApplication in a unit test?. If you want to set a config, because your class under test: Attack reads a value of the grails application, then you can mock the grailsApplication as following:
def 'test whatever you want to'() {
def attack = new Attack()
attack.grailsApplication = [config: [my: [setting: "myValue"]]] // if attack uses grailsApplication.config.my.setting internally
when:
def setting = attack.getMySetting()
then:
setting == "myValue"
}
Or you could use a real Mock if you want to track access to it.
If you really want to use the grails environment to test, that access of the values on the framework (for whatever reason that might be) is correct executed, you should use an integration test. Subclassing IntegrationSpec from Spock will inject the grailsApplication into your test, so you can set the real thing in your Attack class.

Grails & AspectJ: advice for private methods is not working

I need to intercept calls to private methods in Grails services. The following aspect IS working for any annotated public methods, however nothing happens when the annotation is at PRIVATE methods.
import exceptions.DwcpExeption
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Around
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect
import org.slf4j.Logger
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component
#Aspect
#Component
public class LoggerInterceptor {
private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerInterceptor.class);
#Around("#annotation(newAnnotation)")
public Object aroundEvents(ProceedingJoinPoint proceedingJoinPoint, NewAnnotation newAnnotation) {
log.info newAnnotation.value()
String logMessage = String.format("%s.%s(%s)",
proceedingJoinPoint.getTarget().getClass().getName(),
proceedingJoinPoint.getSignature().getName(),
Arrays.toString(proceedingJoinPoint.getArgs()));
log.info "*Entering $logMessage"
def result
try {
result = proceedingJoinPoint.proceed()
catch (ex) {
log.error '', ex
}
log.info "*Exiting $logMessage. Result: $result"
return result
}
}
Maybe the problem is in config? I've tried in applicationContext.xml
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy proxy-target-class="true"/>
and in resources.groovy
aop.config("proxy-target-class": true)
Nevertheless, only public methods are intercepted.
Spring AOP is a proxy-based "AOP lite" approach in comparison to AspectJ. It only works for Spring components and only for public, non-static methods. This is also explained in the Spring AOP documentation as follows:
Due to the proxy-based nature of Spring’s AOP framework, protected methods are by definition not intercepted, neither for JDK proxies (where this isn’t applicable) nor for CGLIB proxies (where this is technically possible but not recommendable for AOP purposes). As a consequence, any given pointcut will be matched against public methods only!
If your interception needs include protected/private methods or even constructors, consider the use of Spring-driven native AspectJ weaving instead of Spring’s proxy-based AOP framework. This constitutes a different mode of AOP usage with different characteristics, so be sure to make yourself familiar with weaving first before making a decision.
Bottom line: Please switch to AspectJ which can be easily integrated into Spring applications via LTW (load-time weaving) as described in Section 9.8, “Using AspectJ with Spring applications”.
If you don't specify the scope it defaults to public. Add a pointcut for private methods:
#Around("#annotation(newAnnotation) && execution(private * *(..))")

Exposing a configuration property via getter in a quartz job

Relating to Accessing grails application config from a quartz job:
Apparently, DI doesn't happen prior to the creation of a job. I'm guessing this is the same with other grails artefacts (couldn't spot relevant documentation).
In my particular case, I was aiming to load a property from config and expose that property from the job class. In general though, it seems a valid use-case to me, that artefacts will load configuration, and then return those properties via API.
I'm wondering then, how could this be achieved when a class cannot rely on access to grailsApplication.config at construction.
Thanks
Try with:
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ConfigurationHolder as CH
class MyJob {
def execute() {
def myConfigVar = CH.flatConfig.get('my.var.setup.in.config.groovy')
...
}
}
OR
import grails.util.Holders
class MyJob {
def execute() {
def myConfigVar = Holders.config.my.var.setup.in.config.groovy
...
}
}

Which LogFactory to use?

I want to log.debug from src/groovy. The 2.1.1 Grails user guide says to it like this:
package org.other
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory
class MyClass {
private static final log = LogFactory.getLog(this)
…
}
But import org.apache.juli.logging.LogFactory works (in dev environment) as well. What's the difference?
Why not use the Groovy standard #Log annotation. That will inject a log instance into your class. Read more here: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Logging

Can't initialize Service in Grails Integration Test because of JNDI lookup

I have a service that implements InitializingBean and DisposableBean
class MyService implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean {
static transactional = false
def grailsApplication
#Override
void afterPropertiesSet() {
System.setProperty("JMS_TIMEOUT", grailsApplication.config.JMS_TIMEOUT);
// code performing a JDNI lookup
}
}
enter code here
The system properties are used to initialize some other components in the service. I have added the configs in Config.groovy.
grails.config.locations = [ "file:${basedir}/grails-app/conf/myconfig.properties" ]
This works fine when running the application. However I'm writing an integration test in test/integration that injects the service.
class MyServiceIntegrationTests extends GrailsUnitTestCase {
def myService
void testMyService() {
}
}
When running the test I get a StackTrace with the folllowing root cause:
Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [ConnectionFactory] not bound; 0 bindings: []
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:354)
at com.ubs.ecredit.common.jmsclient.DefaultConnector.<init>(DefaultConnector.java:36)
Seems that the Config could not be loaded or are different in the Integration Tests. Any idea how I can change the config or code, so that these properties are also set for my integration test, before the service is instantiated?
UPDATE:
It turned out the cause was not the configurations but a JDNI lookup and a bug in Grails.
See: http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-5726
${basedir} gets different paths in different environments. As an alternative, you can use PropertiesLoaderUtils.loadProperties to load your customized configurations:
import org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderUtils
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource
....
void afterPropertiesSet() {
def configProperties = PropertiesLoaderUtils.loadProperties(
new ClassPathResource("myconfig.properties"))
System.setProperty("JMS_TIMEOUT", configProperties.getProperty("JMS_TIMEOUT"))
....
}
It turned out the cause was a JNDI lookup used by a library method, I have not shown in afterPropertiesSet() in my Service, which can be seen in the StackTrace.
After doing some research I found that this was a bug in Grails: http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-5726
Adding the mentioned workaround, resolved the issue for now.

Grails Dependency Injection Problem

I am having problems when using dependency injection with Services in Grails.
class ExampleService{
def example2Service
def example3Service
def method1(){
def result = example2Service.method2()
}
}
class ExampleService{
def example3Service
def method2(){
def result = example3Service.method3()
return result
}
}
class Example3Service{
def method3(){
return true
}
}
Basically in Example2Service, I am getting a Null Pointer Exception when trying to call method3 in Example3Service.
I would appreciate any help than anybody can give me with this issue
thanks
Dependency Injection needs to be initialized. (The same applies to other kinds of runtime meta programming, like augmenting Domain classes with their save() and validate() methods.)
A Grails application will be initialized when
being run from the grails run-app command
being run after having been deployed to a web server
being run from the grails test-app command (integration tests, only; unit tests do not trigger initialization).
Involved classes are not initialized when
executing a single Groovy file (i.e., by using groovy, groovysh, or groovyConsole)
or when executing a unit test.
The following as an integration test should work:
class Test2ServiceTests extends GroovyTestCase {
def test2Service
void testMethod2() {
assert test2Service.method2() == true
}
}
