Chapter 5. Applying interceptors to tests

Quarkus tests are full CDI beans, so you can apply CDI interceptors as you would normally. For example, if you want a test method to run within the context of a transaction, you can apply the @Transactional annotation to the method. You can also create your own test stereotypes.

Procedure

  1. Add the quarkus-narayana-jta dependency to your pom.xml file: 

    <dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-narayana-jta</artifactId>
</dependency>

  2. Make sure the TransactionalQuarkusTest.java includes the following import statements: 

    package org.acme.quickstart;

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import javax.enterprise.inject.Stereotype;
import javax.transaction.Transactional;

import io.quarkus.test.junit.QuarkusTest;

  3. Create the @TransactionalQuarkusTest annotation: 

    @QuarkusTest
@Stereotype
@Transactional
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface TransactionalQuarkusTest {
}

  4. Apply this annotation to a test class where it will behave as if you applied both the @QuarkusTest and @Transactional annotations: 

    @TransactionalQuarkusTest
public class TestStereotypeTestCase {

    @Inject
    UserTransaction userTransaction;

    @Test
    public void testUserTransaction() throws Exception {
        Assertions.assertEquals(Status.STATUS_ACTIVE, userTransaction.getStatus());
    }

}

    This is a simple test that evaluates the greeting service directly without using HTTP.
