Integration Tests for RESTEasy Endpoint - rest

Question

I want to perform integration tests on my REST endpoint but am running into issues.
Below is my endpoint. NOTE: I cannot change this part of the code.
#Path("/people")
public class PersonResource {
private final PersonService personService;
#Inject
public PersonResource(final PersonService personService) {
this.personService = personService;
}
#GET
#Produces("application/json")
public List<Person> getPersonList() {
return personService.getPersonList();
}
}
From what I've been able to find online, I have the following basic structure for my test.
public class PersonResourceTest {
private Dispatcher dispatcher;
private POJOResourceFactory factory;
#Before
public void setup() {
dispatcher = MockDispatcherFactory.createDispatcher();
factory = new POJOResourceFactory(PersonResource.class);
dispatcher.getRegistry().addResourceFactory(factory);
}
#Test
public void testEndpoint() throws URISyntaxException {
MockHttpRequest request = MockHttpRequest.get("people");
MockHttpResponse response = new MockHttpResponse();
dispatcher.invoke(request, response);
System.out.print("\n\n\n\n\n" + response.getStatus() + "\n\n\n\n\n");
System.out.print("\n\n\n\n\n" + response.getContentAsString() + "\n\n\n\n\n");
}
}
However, this results in the following error on the last line of the setup method.
java.lang.RuntimeException: RESTEASY003190: Could not find constructor for class: my.path.PersonResource
I explored the Registry API and thought maybe I should have been using addSingletonResource instead, so I changed the last line of setup to dispatcher.getRegistry().addSingletonResource(personResource); and added the following.
#Inject
private PersonResource personResource;
But that results in a NullPointerException on the last line of setup.
The sparse documentation on the mocking isn't very helpful. Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong? Thanks.

You need to do two things
Add a no arguments constructor to your source class:
public PersonResource() {
this(null)
}
In the test class, initialize the PersonResource class with an instance of PersonService class:
dispatcher.getRegistry().addSingletonResource(new PersonResource(new PersonService()));
If needed, the PersonService class can be mocked:
private Dispatcher dispatcher;
#Mock
private PersonService service;
#Before
public void setup() {
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
dispatcher = MockDispatcherFactory.createDispatcher();
PersonResource resource= new PersonResource(service);
ispatcher.getRegistry().addSingletonResource(resource);
}
Hope it helps!
