cassandra-unit-spring

Starts the Cassandra server and makes the ports available as Spring Boot environment properties.

Requires Java 8 or later. Uses cassandra-unit and Spring Boot.

Installation

You can find the latest version on Maven Central.

Usage

You will need to add a test runtime dependency on org.cassandraunit:cassandra-unit. If using Gradle, it can be done with testRuntimeOnly("org.cassandraunit$someVersion").

The only thing you need is the AutoConfigureCassandraUnit annotation:

@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureCassandraUnit(config = EmbeddedCassandraServerHelper.CASSANDRA_RNDPORT_YML_FILE)
public class AutoConfigureWithRandomPortsTest {
    @Value("${cassandra-unit.native-transport-port:-1}")
    private int nativeTransportPort = -1;
    @Value("${cassandra-unit.rpc-port:-1}")
    private int rpcPort = -1;
    @Test
    public void testUseRandomPorts() {
        Assertions.assertEquals(EmbeddedCassandraServerHelper.getNativeTransportPort(), nativeTransportPort);
        Assertions.assertEquals(EmbeddedCassandraServerHelper.getRpcPort(), rpcPort);
    }
}

See KDoc for more details.

This library aims to be minimal and manages only the lifecycle of the Cassandra server during testing; it does not
run initialization scripts or clean the database between tests, because you can do those things yourself.

If you use Spring Data, you can set spring.data.cassandra.port=${cassandra-unit.rpc-port:-1} property in src/test/application.properties or @SpringBootTest.properties attribute.

cassandra-unit can only run one Cassandra instance per JVM; thus, if AutoConfigureCassandraUnit annotation
is present on more than one test classes, only the first one is used, the others are ignored. That means the port
properties will not change once a Cassandra instance is started.

If you abort a test or run two tests both of which start the server, you may be faced with a FileAlreadyExistsException. That is because of this bug. If using Maven, clean goal will delete the temporary directory; if using Gradle, you can either delete the target directory manually, or add it to the Gradle clean task.

cassandra-unit doesn’t work with Java 11; see this bug.

cassandra-unit doesn’t work with Java 17; see this bug.
