Null point exception on embedded Kafka


I am using embedded Kafka for unit testing a spring boot application. I am using the code - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/blob/29a3bd2021c49b700d4f3835c7ced642322c2faf/spring-kafka/src/test/java/org/springframework/kafka/core/reactive/ReactiveKafkaProducerTemplateIntegrationTests.java#L76 as reference.

Here is my code:

@EmbeddedKafka(topics = TestServiceTests.REACTIVE_INT_KEY_TOPIC, partitions = 2)

@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
@EnableKafka
@DirtiesContext

public class TestServiceTests {

public static final String REACTIVE_INT_KEY_TOPIC = "reactive_int_key_topic";

@Autowired
private static ReactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate<String, String> reactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate;

@Autowired
private ReactiveKafkaProducerTemplate<String, List<String>> reactiveKafkaProducerTemplate;

@Before
public void setUpBeforeClass() {
    Map<String, Object> consumerProps = KafkaTestUtils
            .consumerProps("reactive_consumer_group", "false",EmbeddedKafkaCondition.getBroker());
    reactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate =
            new ReactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate<String, String>(setupReceiverOptionsWithDefaultTopic(consumerProps));
}


private static ReceiverOptions<String, String> setupReceiverOptionsWithDefaultTopic(
        Map<String, Object> consumerProps) {

    ReceiverOptions<String, String> basicReceiverOptions = ReceiverOptions.create(consumerProps);
    return basicReceiverOptions
            .consumerProperty(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_OFFSET_RESET_CONFIG, "earliest")
            .addAssignListener(p -> assertThat(p.iterator().next().topicPartition().topic())
                    .isEqualTo(REACTIVE_INT_KEY_TOPIC))
            .subscription(Collections.singletonList(REACTIVE_INT_KEY_TOPIC));
}

@Test
public void consumeServiceReturnsFlux() {

    TestService testService = new TestService(reactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate, reactiveKafkaProducerTemplate);

    Flux<String> actual = testService.consumeService();

}

I get the following exception at the line EmbeddedKafkaCondition.getBroker()

Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:54251', transport: 'socket'

I think I am missing a setting where my embeddedKafka is set not correct and hence is NULL. But I have not been able to figure out the reason. If someone can help me understand what I am missing will be of great help.


Solution

  • Your problem that you use this @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class).

    According the EmbeddedKafkaCondition you can't use its getBroker() in the Spring context environment:

    if (element.isPresent() && !springTestContext(element.get())) {
    
                EmbeddedKafka embedded = AnnotatedElementUtils.findMergedAnnotation(element.get(), EmbeddedKafka.class);
                // When running in a spring test context, the EmbeddedKafkaContextCustomizer will create the broker.
    

    So, your ReactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate must be configured slightly different way:

    @Autowired
    private EmbeddedKafkaBroker embeddedKafkaBroker;
    
    @Before
    public void setUpBeforeClass() {
        Map<String, Object> consumerProps = KafkaTestUtils
                .consumerProps("reactive_consumer_group", "false", this.embeddedKafkaBroker);
        reactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate =
                new ReactiveKafkaConsumerTemplate<String, String>(setupReceiverOptionsWithDefaultTopic(consumerProps));
    }
    

    UPDATE

    Working sample:

    @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
    @EmbeddedKafka
    @EnableKafka
    public class WithSpringTestContextTests {
    
        @Autowired
        EmbeddedKafkaBroker embeddedKafkaBroker;
    
        @BeforeEach
        public void setUpBefore() {
            assertThat(embeddedKafkaBroker).isNotNull();
        }
    
        @Test
        void test() {
        }
    
    }
