Prior to this commit, if AOT processing of a test's ApplicationContext
failed, the TestContext Framework (TCF) still attempted to load the
context via standard (JVM) mechanisms when running in AOT mode.
For example, if a test class uses Spring Boot's @MockBean, AOT
processing of that test's context will fail with a WARN log message,
and there will no mapping from that test class to an AOT-generated
ApplicationContextInitializer (ACI). Consequently, when the test suite
is run in AOT mode that particular test class will currently fail with
a confusing stack trace due to the fact that Spring Boot's
SpringApplication attempts to locate a "main" ACI instead of the
missing "test" ACI (missing because it was not generated during AOT
processing).
In general, the TCF should not attempt to load an ApplicationContext in
"JVM mode" while running in "AOT mode".
This commit therefore reworks the logic in
DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate to fail fast (with a meaningful
error message) if an AOT-generated ACI cannot be found while running in
AOT mode. This avoids the aforementioned confusion when @MockBean tests
fail in AOT mode (on the JVM or within a native image), and it also
helps to diagnose build problems if AOT processing has not yet been
performed for the project's test suite.

SocketUtils was officially deprecated in 5.3.16 (gh-28052) and removed
in 6.0 M3 (gh-28054); however, there is still need for a subset of this
functionality in integration tests for testing scenarios in which it is
not possible for the system under test to select its own random port
(or rely on the operating system to provide an ephemeral port).
This commit therefore introduces a scaled down version in the
spring-test module called TestSocketUtils which supports retrieval of a
single TCP port.
See gh-29132
Prior to this commit, it was possible to register hints for individual
test classes programmatically via the
org.springframework.test.context.aot.TestRuntimeHintsRegistrar SPI;
however, that requires that a custom TestRuntimeHintsRegistrar be
registered via "META-INF/spring/aot.factories". In addition,
implementing a TestRuntimeHintsRegistrar is more cumbersome than using
the core mechanisms such as @Reflective, @ImportRuntimeHints, and
@RegisterReflectionForBinding.
This commit address this by introducing support for @Reflective and
@ImportRuntimeHints on test classes. @RegisterReflectionForBinding
support is available automatically since it is an extension of the
@Reflective mechanism.

This commit reverts changes to AbstractCacheManager since iterating

This commit reverts changes to DefaultRenderingResponseBuilder,

At the request of the Spring Boot team, ApplicationContextFailureProcessor
implementations are now loaded via the spring.factories mechanism
instead of supporting a single processor registered via subclasses of
AbstractTestContextBootstrapper.
This makes the retrieval and handling of processors internal to
DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate, while simultaneously supporting
multiple processors that can be registered by anyone (i.e., not
limited to projects that implement custom TestContextBootstrappers).

For a Spring Boot test, Logback logs at DEBUG level by default until
Spring Boot's logging infrastructure has a chance to take control, and
this can result in a considerable amount of INFO and DEBUG output.
It's not the number of lines that causes an issue. Rather, it's the
amount of information in each line that can become overwhelming,
especially when the MergedContextConfiguration is complex.
The main reason for lengthy DEBUG logging in a Spring Boot test is that
Spring Boot's ImportsContextCustomizer implements toString() which
results in logging of the fully qualified class names of all imported
configuration classes. In an example using @WebMvcTest, this resulted
in logging of 27 imported classes twice. However, the lists of
registered TestExecutionListener, ContextCustomizerFactory, and
ContextCustomizer implementations are also logged separately, and that
adds quite a bit of noise at DEBUG level.
This commit addresses these issues and simultaneously completely
revises logging within the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF).
- Numerous log statements are now logged at TRACE level instead of
DEBUG.
- Numerous log statements now have two modes. When logging at TRACE
level, fully qualified class names (or the results of invoking
toString() on related components) are included. When logging at DEBUG
level, simple names of classes are logged and the results of invoking
toString() on related components are omitted.
- toString() implementations in TCF components are now based on the
newly introduced SimpleValueStyler for ToStringCreator.
The combination of the above changes greatly reduces the amount of
DEBUG logging output in the TCF, but users can still access complete
details by switching to TRACE level logging.

This commit exposes a "spring.aot.processing" system property when the

This commit introduces an ApplicationContextFailureProcessor SPI in the
Spring TestContext Framework that allows third parties to process
failures that occur while a SmartContextLoader attempts to load an
ApplicationContext.
SmartContextLoader implementations must introduce a try-catch block
around the loading code and throw a ContextLoadException that wraps
the failed ApplicationContext and the cause of the failure.
Extensions of AbstractTestContextBootstrapper can configure an
ApplicationContextFailureProcessor by overriding the new protected
getApplicationContextFailureProcessor() method.
DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate unwraps any ContextLoadException
and delegates to the configured ApplicationContextFailureProcessor for
processing.
Closes gh-28826
There's currently a considerable amount of overlap between the
implementations of AotProcessor and TestAotProcessor. In addition
AotProcessor is abstract and does not include a main() method; whereas,
TestAotProcessor is concrete and does include a main() method.
To address these issues, this commit:
- Introduces an AbstractAotProcessor base class that AotProcessor and
TestAotProcessor now both extend
- Moves common properties/functionality to AbstractAotProcessor
- Renames AotProcessor to ContextAotProcessor
- Makes TestAotProcessor abstract like ContextAotProcessor
- Removes the main() method from TestAotProcessor
Closes gh-29266
Prior to this commit, the AOT runtime support in the Spring TestContext
Framework (TCF) relied on the MergedContextConfiguration for a given
test class being the same as during the AOT processing phase. However,
this is not always the case. For example, Spring Boot "disables"
selected `ContextCustomizer` implementations during AOT runtime
execution.
See 0f325f98b5
To address that, this commit ensures that context caching works
properly during AOT runtime execution even if the
MergedContextConfiguration differs from what was produced during the
AOT processing phase. Specifically, this commit introduces
AotMergedContextConfiguration which is a MergedContextConfiguration
implementation based on an AOT-generated ApplicationContextInitializer.
AotMergedContextConfiguration wraps the MergedContextConfiguration
built during AOT runtime execution.
Interactions with the ContextCache are performed using the
AotMergedContextConfiguration; whereas, the ApplicationContext is
loaded using the original MergedContextConfiguration.
This commit also introduces a ContextCustomizerFactory that emulates
the ImportsContextCustomizerFactory in Spring Boot's testing support.
BasicSpringJupiterImportedConfigTests uses @Import to verify that the
context customizer works, and AotIntegrationTests has been updated to
execute BasicSpringJupiterImportedConfigTests after test classes whose
MergedContextConfiguration is identical during AOT runtime execution.
Without the fix in this commit, BasicSpringJupiterImportedConfigTests
would fail in AOT runtime mode since its ApplicationContext would be
pulled from the cache using an inappropriate cache key.
Closes gh-29289
Prior to this commit, the abstract base test classes for JUnit 4 and
TestNG registered explicit sets of TestExecutionListeners. This
configuration was useful in the early years of the Spring TestContext
Framework. However, since the introduction of support for automatic
registration of "default" listeners in Spring Framework 4.1, these
predefined sets of TestExecutionListeners have become a hindrance to
using Spring's testing support with default listeners from Spring
portfolio projects (such as Spring Boot and Spring Security) as well as
third-party or project-specific default listeners.
To address this issue, the four abstract base test classes for JUnit 4
and TestNG no longer declare listeners via @TestExecutionListeners and
instead now rely on registration of default listeners.
Closes gh-29149
Prior to this commit, ExchangeResult.assertWithDiagnostics() threw an
IllegalArgumentException for a custom HTTP status code since toString()
invoked getStatus() without a try-catch block.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a formatStatus() method
that defensively formats the response status, initially trying to
format the HttpStatus and falling back to formatting the raw integer
status code.
Closes gh-29283
TestClassScanner was made public with the assumption that Spring Boot's
AOT testing support might need to work directly with that class; however,
it turns out that Spring Boot does not currently have such a need.
In light of that, this commit restores TestClassScanner's visibility to
package private.
Prior to this commit, the TestRuntimeHintsRegistrar API combined
processing of MergedContextConfiguration and test classes. However, it
appears that only spring-test internals have a need for registering
hints based on the MergedContextConfiguration. For example, Spring
Boot's AOT testing support has not had such a need, and it is assumed
that third parties likely will not have such a need.
In light of that, this commit simplifies the TestRuntimeHintsRegistrar
API so that it focuses on processing of a single test class.
In addition, this commit moves the hint registration code specific to
MergedContextConfiguration to an internal mechanism.

New methods in MockRestResponseCreators support extra commonly used
HTTP status codes, including some that occur when working in AWS,
CloudFlare, or when using gateways such as Kong, where resilient

For certain use cases it is beneficial to be able to compute something
during AOT build-time processing and then retrieve the result of that
computation during AOT run-time execution, without having to deal with
code generation on your own.
To support such use cases, this commit introduces an AotTestAttributes
mechanism in the Spring TestContext Framework with the following
feature set.
- conceptually similar to org.springframework.core.AttributeAccessor in
the sense that attributes are generic metadata
- allows an AOT-aware test component to contribute a key-value pair
during the AOT build-time processing phase, where the key is a String
and the value is a String
- provides convenience methods for storing and retrieving attributes as
boolean values
- generates the necessary source code during the AOT build-time
processing phase in the TestContext framework to create a persistent
map of the attributes
- provides a mechanism for accessing the stored attributes during AOT
run-time execution

As of Java 18, the serial lint warning in javac has been expanded to

In the Spring Framework codebase, this can happen with `Map`, `Set` or
`List` attributes which are often assigned with an unmodifiable
implementation variant. Such implementations are `Serializable` but
cannot be used as field types.
This commit ensures that the following changes are applied:
* fields are marked as transient if they can't be serialized
* classes are marked as `Serializable` if this was missing
* `@SuppressWarnings("serial")` is applied where relevant

Prior to this commit, the `HtmlUnitRequestBuilder` would "translate"
HtmlUnit web requests into Servlet requests using APIs that were not

HtmlUnit 2.64.0 introduced a new `.getParameters()` API for collecting
`NameValuePair` parsed from the request URI or request body, depending
on the nature of the request. This arrangement is much more stable and
in line with HtmlUnit's expectations.
This commit uses this new API and makes HtmlUnit 2.64.0 a new minimum
requirement for using HtmlUnit integration with Spring Framework.
This also removes tests that were previously testing HtmlUnit's behavior
and using the API now marked as internal.

With this commit, if a ContextCustomizerFactory cannot be loaded due to

With this commit we now log an identical message (without a stack

were discovered and which listeners were used, but we did not log
anything for ContextCustomizerFactory and ContextCustomizer.
This commit therefore introduces similar logging for

This commit introduces support for Netty 5's Buffer, in the form of
Netty5DataBuffer. Because of the new API offered by Buffer, several
changes have been made to the DataBuffer API:
- CloseableDataBuffer is a simpler alternative to PooledDataBuffer, and
implemented by Netty5DataBuffer. DataBufferUtils::release can now
handle CloseableDataBuffer as well as PooledDataBuffer.
- PooledDataBuffer::touch has been moved into a separate interface:
TouchableDataBuffer, which is implemented by Netty5DataBuffer.
- The capacity of DataBuffers can no longer be reduced, they can only
grow larger. As a consequence, DataBuffer::capacity(int) has been
deprecated, but ensureWritable (formally ensureCapacity) still exists.
- DataBuffer::slice and retainedSlice have been deprecated in favor of
split, a new method that ensures that memory regions do not overlap.
- DataBuffer::asByteBuffer has been deprecated in favor of toByteBuffer,
a new method that returns a copy, instead of shared data.
- DataBufferFactory::allocateBuffer has been deprecated in favor of
allocateBuffer(int).

AotTestMappings via reflection in order to retrieve access to
ApplicationContextIntializers generated during AOT processing.
Furthermore, the processAheadOfTimeAndGenerateAotTestMappings() method
in TestContextAotGeneratorTests now performs a rather extensive test
including:
- emulating TestClassScanner to find test classes
- processing all test classes and generating ApplicationContextIntializers
- generating mappings for AotTestMappings
- compiling all generated code
- loading AotTestMappings
- using AotTestMappings to instantiate the generated ApplicationContextIntializer
- using the AotContextLoader API to load the AOT-optimized ApplicationContext
- asserting the behavior of the loaded ApplicationContext

This commit introduces a dedicated AotContextLoader extension of
SmartContextLoader and reverts the recent changes to the existing
contract for SmartContextLoader. This allows existing
SmartContextLoader implementations to continue working unaffected by
AOT support unless they opt into AOT support by explicitly implementing
the new AotContextLoader contract.
In addition, existing SmartContextLoader implementations in the
spring-test module have been modified to implement AotContextLoader
instead of SmartContextLoader. This allows the core framework to
provide built-in AOT support in the TestContext framework, and it also
allows third-party extensions to built-in SmartContextLoaders to
participate in AOT processing and run-time support transparently (or at
least as transparent as possible).

This commit introduces TestContextAotGenerator for processing Spring
integration test classes and generating AOT artifacts. Specifically,
this class performs the following.
- bootstraps the TCF for a given test class
- builds the MergedContextConfiguration for each test class and tracks
all test classes that share the same MergedContextConfiguration
- loads each test ApplicationContext without refreshing it
- passes the test ApplicationContext to ApplicationContextAotGenerator
to generate the AOT optimized ApplicationContextInitializer
- The GenerationContext passed to ApplicationContextAotGenerator uses
a feature name of the form "TestContext###_", where "###" is a
3-digit sequence ID left padded with zeros.
This commit also includes tests using the TestCompiler to verify that
each generated ApplicationContextInitializer can be used to populate a
GenericApplicationContext as expected.

Prior to this commit it was possible to configure the
DefaultListableBeanFactory used by the GenericWebApplicationContext

Commit d1b65f6d3e introduced a regression for the handling of
NoClassDefFoundError when skipping a TestExecutionListener that cannot

stack trace; whereas, it previously did not include the stack trace.
This commit consistently handles NoClassDefFoundError for a skipped
TestExecutionListener, whether a default listener or a listener
registered via @TestExecutionListeners and aligns with the previous
behavior by omitting the stack trace for a NoClassDefFoundError.

This commit revises 903e9f2a02 based on feedback from the Spring Boot
team.
- The original loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration) method is no
longer deprecated.
- loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration, boolean) has been replaced by
loadContextForAotProcessing(MergedContextConfiguration) which is
implemented as a `default` method that throws an
UnsupportedOperationException.
- Affected code has been refactored to adjust to these changes.
See gh-28906
Prior to this commit, the contract of the loadContext() method in the
SmartContextLoader SPI required that the ApplicationContext be returned
in a fully refreshed state with a JVM shutdown hook registered for it.
However, in order to support AOT processing within the Spring
TestContext Framework (TCF), we need a way to signal to
SmartContextLoader implementations that they should load the test's
ApplicationContext without refreshing it or registering a JVM shutdown
hook.
To address this issue, this commit:
- Introduces a new loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration, boolean)
method. The boolean `refresh` flag controls whether the returned
ApplicationContext should be refreshed and have a JVM shutdown hook
registered for it.
- Deprecates the existing loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration)
method in favor of loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration, boolean).
- Removes all use of the deprecated method within the spring-test
module, excluding the exception mentioned below.
Note that loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration, boolean) is
implemented as an interface `default` method which delegates to the
deprecated loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration) method for backward
compatibility. When migrating a SmartContextLoader to Spring Framework
6.0, implementations that directly implement the SmartContextLoader SPI
(instead of extending AbstractGenericContextLoader or
AbstractGenericWebContextLoader) will need to override the new
loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration, boolean) method in order to
honor the `refresh` flag for AOT processing support. See the
implementation in AbstractGenericContextLoader for an example of how
this can be achieved.
