InjectedResourcesTest.java question about dropwizard-guice

[mrserverless]

If you want to test end to end functionality without Mocks, you would be better off doing a integration test, see: InjectedIntegrationTest. Use the code you had in #61 and delete the setUp() method and it should run. Put your setup logic inside the TestModule which is called by TestApplication

ResourceTestRule is for unit testing your Resource logic only, it expects a mocked DAO. You are right in saying that Guice hasn't run. To brute force it you can do something like this:

   final static Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(new TestModule());
   static DaoResource daoResource = injector.getInstance(DaoResource.class);

   @ClassRule
   public static final ResourceTestRule resources = ResourceTestRule.builder()
            .addResource(daoResource)
            .build();

I don't know what you DAO looks like, but your TestModule needs to provide all the necessary dependencies needed by your DAO. It's not easy creating a Hibernate SessionFactory from scratch, but for JDBI you can refer to this gist: https://gist.github.com/yunspace/b50b5b89bc1bad1fa556

It would be helpful you can ask questions using your own code or a gist. Takes away the guess work and saves some time for all of us.

Thank you Yun. I'm using my own MongoDBDAO, not really using dropwizard db
support at the moment.

ResourceTestRule is for unit testing your Resource logic only, it expects
a mocked DAO. If you want to test a real DAO, Guice can't magically
inject in the configurations when they don't exist. You will need to do
something like this https://gist.github.com/yunspace/b50b5b89bc1bad1fa556.
What DAO are you using anyway? Hibernate or JDBI?
