SpringBootTest: how to know when boot application is done

Question

Spring boot integration test looks like this

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = Application)
class IntegrationTest {

  static QpidRunner qpidRunner

  @BeforeClass
  static void init() {
    qpidRunner = new QpidRunner()
    qpidRunner.start()
  }

  @AfterClass
  static void tearDown() {
    qpidRunner.stop()
  }

}

So, Qpid instance is run before and teared down after all tests. I want to know is there a way to check whether spring boot application is still running before calling qpidRunner.stop(). I want to stop Qpid only when I'm sure that spring app has finished its stopping.

Answer 1

Taking into account that ConfigurableWebApplicationContext can be injected in a SpringBootTest, adding this lines to the code solved the problem

static ConfigurableWebApplicationContext context

@Autowired
void setContext(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext context) {
  AbstractDocsIntegrationTest.context = context
}

@AfterClass
static void tearDown() {
  context.stop()
  qpidRunner.stop()
}

Spring docs about stop method

Stop this component, typically in a synchronous fashion, such that the component is fully stopped upon return of this method.

JUnit AfterClass annotated method must be static, therefore @Autowired workaround with setContext method.
