Interface StepVerifier

public interface StepVerifier

A StepVerifier provides a declarative way of creating a verifiable script for an async Publisher sequence, by expressing expectations about the events that will happen upon subscription. The verification must be triggered after the terminal expectations (completion, error, cancellation) have been declared, by calling one of the verify() methods.

• Create a StepVerifier around a Publisher using create(Publisher) or withVirtualTime(Supplier<Publisher>) (in which case you should lazily create the publisher inside the provided lambda).
• Set up individual value expectations using expectNext, expectNextMatches(Predicate), assertNext(Consumer), expectNextCount(long) or expectNextSequence(Iterable).
• Trigger subscription actions during the verification using either thenRequest(long) or thenCancel().
• Finalize the test scenario using a terminal expectation: expectComplete(), expectError(), expectError(Class), expectErrorMatches(Predicate), or thenCancel().
• Trigger the verification of the resulting StepVerifier on its Publisher using either verify() or verify(Duration). (note some of the terminal expectations above have a "verify" prefixed alternative that both declare the expectation and trigger the verification).
• If any expectations failed, an AssertionError will be thrown indicating the failures.

For example:

 StepVerifier.create(Flux.just("foo", "bar"))
   .expectNext("foo")
   .expectNext("bar")
   .expectComplete()
   .verify();

Field Detail

DEFAULT_VERIFY_TIMEOUT

static final Duration DEFAULT_VERIFY_TIMEOUT

Default verification timeout (see verify()) is "no timeout".

See Also:

setDefaultTimeout(Duration), resetDefaultTimeout()

Method Detail

setDefaultTimeout

static void setDefaultTimeout(@Nullable
                              Duration timeout)

Set the verify() timeout for all StepVerifier created through the factory methods (create(Publisher), withVirtualTime(Supplier), etc.).

This affects ALL such verifiers created after this call, until a call to either this method or resetDefaultTimeout().

Parameters:

timeout - the timeout to use for verify() calls on all StepVerifier created through the factory methods after this call. null is interpreted as a call to resetDefaultTimeout().

resetDefaultTimeout

static void resetDefaultTimeout()

Reset the verify() timeout to the "unlimited" default.

This affects ALL such verifiers created after this call, until a call to setDefaultTimeout(Duration).

create

static <T> StepVerifier.FirstStep<T> create(Publisher<? extends T> publisher)

Parameters:

publisher - the publisher to subscribe to and verify

Returns:

a builder for expectation declaration and ultimately verification.

create

withVirtualTime

static <T> StepVerifier.FirstStep<T> withVirtualTime(Supplier<? extends Publisher<? extends T>> scenarioSupplier)

Prepare a new StepVerifier in a controlled environment using VirtualTimeScheduler to manipulate a virtual clock via StepVerifier.Step.thenAwait().

Each verify() will fully (re)play the scenario. The verification will request an unbounded amount of values.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the subscriber

Parameters:

scenarioSupplier - a mandatory supplier of the Publisher to subscribe to and verify. In order for operators to use virtual time, they must be invoked from within the lambda.

Returns:

a builder for expectation declaration and ultimately verification.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the subscriber

Parameters:

scenarioSupplier - a mandatory supplier of the Publisher to subscribe to and verify. In order for operators to use virtual time, they must be invoked from within the lambda.

Prepare a new StepVerifier in a controlled environment using a user-provided VirtualTimeScheduler to manipulate a virtual clock via StepVerifier.Step.thenAwait(). The scheduler is injected into all Schedulers factories, which means that any operator created within the lambda without a specific scheduler will use virtual time. Each verify() will fully (re)play the scenario. The verification will request a specified amount of values.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the subscriber

Parameters:

Each verify() will fully (re)play the scenario. The verification will request a specified amount of values according to the provided options.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the subscriber

Parameters:

scenarioSupplier - a mandatory supplier of the Publisher to subscribe to and verify. In order for operators to use virtual time, they must be invoked from within the lambda.

log

StepVerifier log()

Activate debug logging of a description of the test scenario, as well as some details about certain verification steps.

Returns:

the verifier for final verify() call

verify

Duration verify()
         throws AssertionError

Verify the signals received by this subscriber. Unless a default timeout has been push before construction of the StepVerifier via setDefaultTimeout(Duration), this method will block until the stream has been terminated (either through Subscriber.onComplete(), Subscriber.onError(Throwable) or Subscription.cancel()). Depending on the declared expectations and actions, notably in case of undersized manual requests, such a verification could also block indefinitely.

Returns:

the actual Duration the verification took.

Throws:

AssertionError - in case of expectation failures

See Also:

verify(Duration), setDefaultTimeout(Duration)

verify

Duration verify(Duration duration)
         throws AssertionError

Verify the signals received by this subscriber. This method will block for up to the given duration or until the stream has been terminated (either through Subscriber.onComplete(), Subscriber.onError(Throwable) or Subscription.cancel()). Use Duration.ZERO for an unlimited wait for termination.

Parameters:

duration - the maximum duration to wait for the sequence to terminate, or Duration.ZERO for unlimited wait.

Returns:

the actual Duration the verification took.

Throws:

AssertionError - in case of expectation failures, or when the verification times out

verifyThenAssertThat

StepVerifier.Assertions verifyThenAssertThat()

Verifies the signals received by this subscriber, then exposes various assertion methods on the final state.

Note that like verify(), this method will block until the stream has been terminated (either through Subscriber.onComplete(), Subscriber.onError(Throwable) or Subscription.cancel()). Depending on the declared expectations and actions, notably in case of undersized manual requests, such a verification could also block indefinitely. Use setDefaultTimeout(Duration) to globally add a timeout on verify()-derived methods.

Returns:

the actual Duration the verification took.

Throws:

AssertionError - in case of expectation failures
