Requires Java 8 or later (Junit 5 requirement)

    see https://github.com/sbrannen/spring-test-junit5
    
    Currently, all that's needed to use the Spring TestContext Framework with JUnit 5 is to
    annotate a JUnit Jupiter based test class with @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
    and whatever Spring annotations you need (e.g., @ContextConfiguration, @Transactional, 
    @Sql, etc.), but make sure you use @Test, @BeforeEach, etc. from the appropriate 
    org.junit.jupiter.api package.

######Add the MockitoExtension class

A simple JUnit Jupiter extension to integrate Mockito into JUnit Jupiter to make tests somewhat simpler.

The MockitoExtension showcases the TestInstancePostProcessor and ParameterResolver extension APIs of JUnit Jupiter by providing dependency injection support at the field level and at the method parameter level via Mockito 2.x's @Mock annotation. This allows tests like:

@Test
@DisplayName("Checking @Mock Parameter is resolved")
void ensureDefaultRoleSetForNewEmployee(@Mock Role role) {
    assertNotNull(role);
    Employee employee = new Employee("anyone", role);
    assertEquals("anyone", employee.getName());
}

######What to do if you can't use the Spring Boot Parent POM

The example POM uses the standard Spring Boot Parent POM, i.e.

<parent>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
  <version>1.5.4.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

If you can't use this because you already have a parent POM there are two choices:

  1. Add the Spring Boot Parent to the existing root parent. This is preferable since you still get the benefit of Spring maven plugin management and property overrides.
  2. Use a scope=import in the POM dependencyManagement element:
<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <!-- Import dependency management from Spring Boot -->
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
      <version>1.5.4.RELEASE</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

You will also need to manually configure the compiler plugin for Java 8 (i.e. assuming the property for java.version is set to 1.8):

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <source>${java.version}</source>
    <target>${java.version}</target>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Refer to the Spring Boot docs for other gotchas using this approach

IDEs with and without JUnit5 support

For IDEs with JUnit5 support, make the following changes. This has the advantage that it prevents accidental imports of JUnit3/4 into tests. This is only useful for projects that don't need to support legacy JUnit tests (i.e. you are starting from sratch, or have converted all legacy tests to JUnit5 tests).

  1. Change the junit-platform-runner dependency to exclude the leagcy JUnit artifact:
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit-platform-runner</artifactId>
      <version>${junit-platform.version}</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
      <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
          <!--
          exclude JUnit 4 if IDE has built-in support for JUnit 5
          otherwise, need to keep it included for support of @RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
          which runs JUnit5 tests in a JUnit 4 runner
          -->
          <groupId>junit</groupId>
          <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
      </exclusions>
    </dependency>
  1. Under build/plugins in the POM, configure the maven-surefire-plugin to use the JUnit5 runner
  <plugin>
    <!--
    see https://www.petrikainulainen.net/programming/testing/junit-5-tutorial-running-unit-tests-with-maven/
    This configures maven for native JUnit 5 run support to avoid
    including the JUnit4 dependency, see the exludes above
    -->

    <version>2.19.1</version>
