AEM Unit Test for servlet

I have to write a Unit Test for a servlet that uses

@Reference
private transient SearchService searchService;

When I run the doGetTest I get a NullPointerException since this searchService is null:


@Test
void doGetTest() throws IOException {

    MockSlingHttpServletRequest request = context.request();
    MockSlingHttpServletResponse response = context.response();
    underTest.doGet(request, response);

How do I inject this SearchService in my Unit Test?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @anasustic

Try to mock the service in your test class as mentioned here : https://taylor.callsen.me/unit-testing-aem-sling-models-and-servlets/

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Hi @anasustic ,

You can use @Mock annotations for creating the mock instance of the service as:

@Mock
SearchService mockSearchService;

Then you can initialize your mocks using initMocks() in setUp() as:

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
     MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
}

And then inside test you can use :

servlet.searchService = mockSearchService;

Hope this helps, thanks!

Thanks @milind_bachani but I do not unterstand how to do

servlet.searchService = mockSearchService;

My servlet does not have a method searchService?

import org.mockito.internal.util.reflection.Whitebox;

Whitebox.setInternalState(underTest, "searchservice", mockedSearchservice);

Hi @anasustic,

Use @Mock (org.mockito.Mock) annotation on the Service in Test class and to inject this to the servlet under test, use @InjectMocks (org.mockito.InjectMocks) on the servlet instantiation like the below.

@Mock
private SearchService searchService

@InjectMocks
private SimpleServlet underTest = new SimpleServlet();

Then in the doGetTest() method, before calling underTest.doGet(request, response) -> provide mock implementation for the searchService using when and thenReturn methods.

Please update this thread in case of any issues.

I do not understand what do you mean by

mock implementation for the searchService using when and thenReturn methods.
Please update this thread in case of any issues.

This is what I have

@ExtendWith(AemContextExtension.class)
class LocationFinderByTitleServiceTest {


    private final AemContext context = ComponentTestContext.createAemContext();

    @Mock
    SearchService searchService;

    @InjectMocks
    private LocationFinderByTitleService underTest = new LocationFinderByTitleService();

    @BeforeEach
    void beforeEach() {
        context.load().json("/component/content/location/content.json", "/content/de");


        Map<String, Object> pm = new HashMap<>();
        pm.put("title", "Shop");
        context.request().setMethod("GET");
        context.request().setParameterMap(pm);
    }


    @Test
    void doGetTest() throws IOException {

        MockSlingHttpServletRequest request = context.request();
        MockSlingHttpServletResponse response = context.response();


        underTest.doGet(request, response);

I am getting a NullPointerException in the underTest.doGet while the searchService is null.

You might be using some method/functionality of SearchService in your actual Servlet class, you need to provide implementation for the same here to the test class.

Example: If you have searchService.search() and that returns a List object say for example, then we need to write

when(searchService.search()).thenReturn(any(List.class));

Also, in the snippet you have shared, instantiate the AemContext like below

private AemContext context = new AemContext(ResourceResolverType.RESOURCERESOLVER_MOCK);

or

private AemContext context = new AemContext(ResourceResolverType.JCR_MOCK);

Try this


...
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

private SearchService searchService;

@Test
void doGetTest() throws IOException {
    searchService = mock(SearchService.class);
    when(searchService.get(any()).thenReturn(null);
    MockSlingHttpServletRequest request = context.request();
    MockSlingHttpServletResponse response = context.response();
    underTest.doGet(request, response);

    JsonObject jsonResponse = gson.fromJson(response.getOutputAsString(), JsonObject.class); 
    assertNotNull(jsonResponse.get("searchResults"));
}

My SearchService class has two @3214626 annotations

@Reference
private ResourceResolverService resourceResolverService;

@Reference
private GeocodingService geocodingService;

and two public methods with the following signatures:

public List<LocationResult> getResults(@Nonnull GoogleMapsApiConfigurationModel configModel, @Nonnull String pagePath, @Nullable String zipCity)

public void cacheLocations(Resource resource)

I am not sure how to mock that in

when(searchService.getResults(???).thenReturn(???)
