523 Frameworks Micronaut Testing Acceptance Tests

Micronaut acceptance tests from Gherkin

Implement happy-path acceptance tests from Gherkin for Micronaut using real HTTP and infrastructure.

What is covered in this Skill?

• Preconditions: .feature file in context; Micronaut project confirmed
• Parsing scenarios tagged @acceptance / @acceptance-tests
• BaseAcceptanceTest: @MicronautTest, random port, @Client(/) HttpClient, TestPropertyProvider merging DB + WireMock URLs
• wireMock.resetAll() in @BeforeEach when sharing context
• Concrete *AT classes: Given/When/Then → setup, HttpClient exchange, AssertJ assertions
• Maven three-tier split: *Test → Surefire, *IT + *AT → Failsafe
• Happy-path scope by default

Scope: Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and step workflow.

Constraints

Do not generate without a .feature file; compile before and verify after.

• PRECONDITION: Gherkin .feature file must be in context — stop and ask if not provided
• PRECONDITION: The project must use Micronaut — direct the user to @133, @323, or @423 otherwise
• MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change
• VERIFY: Run ./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvements
• BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed steps and safeguards

When to use this skill

• Implement Micronaut acceptance tests from a Gherkin feature file
• Set up BaseAcceptanceTest with Testcontainers and WireMock for Micronaut

Workflow

1. Read reference and assess project context

Read references/523-frameworks-micronaut-testing-acceptance-tests.md and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes.

2. Gather scope and decide target improvements

Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.

3. Apply framework-aligned changes

Implement or refactor configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions.

4. Run verification and report results

Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
