Use Utility Classes in MUnit Tests

Anypoint Code Builder

Anypoint Studio

Use custom Java utility classes located in src/test/java in your MUnit tests through DataWeave or the Java Module. Export the class package in your mule-artifact.json file to make it available during test execution.

{
  "minMuleVersion": "4.x.x",
  "classLoaderModelLoaderDescriptor": {
    "id": "mule",
    "attributes": {
      "exportedPackages": [
        "com.example.test"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For example, assume that you want to use in an MUnit test a MyUtilClass.java class located in src/test/java/com/example/:

MyUtilClass

package com.example.test;

public class Helper {

  public static long getCurrentMillis() {
    return System.currentTimeMillis();
  }

}

Invoke Your Java Class Using DataWeave

To invoke static methods using DataWeave you must add the java! prefix to the package name of the class:

Use a class in DataWeave

<munit:test name="usingJavaInDW">
    <munit:behavior>
        <set-variable variableName="number" value="#[java!com::example::test::Helper::currentMillis()]" />
    </munit:behavior>
    <munit:execution>
        <flow-ref name="myFlow"/>
    </munit:execution>
</munit:test>

Invoke Your Java Class Using Java Module

To invoke a custom Java class using Java Module:

Ensure that Java Module is in your project:

Java Module dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.mule.module</groupId>
    <artifactId>mule-java-module</artifactId>
    <version>${javaModule.version}</version>
    <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Use any of the Java Module’s operations.
For this example, invoke a static method of a class:

Use a class with the Java Module

<munit:test name="usingJavaInDW">
    <munit:behavior>
        <set-variable variableName="number" value="#[java!com::example::test::Helper::currentMillis()]" />
    </munit:behavior>
    <munit:execution>
        <flow-ref name="myFlow"/>
    </munit:execution>
</munit:test>
