[FIXED] How to write Junit test for mapstruct abstract mapper injected via Spring

Issue

I'm using MapStruct, mapstruct-jdk8 version 1.1.0.Final and defining abstract class that I inject via Spring.

I'm looking at how to be able to test them via Junit Test ? I've basicaly a main mapper that will use 2 sub mappers

@Mapper(componentModel = "spring", uses = {SubMapper1.class, SubMapper2.class})
public abstract class MainMapper {

  @Mapping(target = "field1", qualifiedByName = {"MyMapper2Name", "toEntity"})
  public abstract MyEntity toEntity(MyDto pDto);

  public MyDto fromEntity(MyEntity pEntity) {
     // Specific code, hence why I use Abstract class instead of interface. 
  }
}

I've tried several things but can't get the mapper to be instancied correctly to test it.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MainMapperTest {

    private MainMapper service = Mappers.getMapper(MainMapper.class);

    @Test
    public void testToEntity() throws Exception {
.....

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Cannot find implementation for com.mappers.MainMapper

I've also tried via @InjectMock but no dice either.

Cannot instantiate @InjectMocks field named 'service'. You haven't provided the instance at field declaration so I tried to construct the instance. However, I failed because: the type 'MainMapper is an abstract class.

And via Spring @Autowired

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.mappers.MainMapper' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}

I'm guessing this might have to do with annotation processor, and mapper not being generated when I launch test. I found this class as example.

However the class AnnotationProcessorTestRunner doesn't seems to be available before 1.2 which has no final release yet.

So my question is how do I write Junit tests to test my mapstruct abstract class mapper that I use via Spring injection in my code.

Solution

In response to @Richard Lewan comment here is how I declared my test class for the abstract class ConfigurationMapper using 2 subMappers

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = {ConfigurationMapperImpl.class, SubMapper1Impl.class, SubMapper2Impl.class})
public class ConfigurationMapperTest {

You use the Impl generated classes in the SpringBootTest annotation and then inject the class you want to test:

@Autowired
private ConfigurationMapper configurationMapper;

Let me know if you need more info, but from there it's straightforward. I didn't mock the subMapper, as it was better for me to test all the mapping process at once.
