Assertion over components

[edevera]

I have a switchyard application that is composed of a service that interacts with different components. When using the SwitchyardRunner, I can get access to the testKit as well as other components but due to the lack of documentation and knowledge on my side I dont know how to assert that certain component has been called and that certain message has been passed.

Is there any way I can assert component interactions and exchanges?

Thanks!

There are a couple options here at present:

- You can register a MockHandler for the service that's being called, then query the handler post-invocation to see if it's been called.  Here's an example:

https://github.com/jboss-switchyard/quickstarts/blob/master/camel-jms-binding/src/test/java/org/switchyard/quickstarts/camel/jms/binding/CamelJMSBindingTest.java

- If the interaction is In-Out, then you can assert against the reply message returned by the invoker.

At present, we don't support getting access to admin stats from the test kit, but we could add that.  With that info, you could query the message counts for downstream services and assert that each service has been called.  If you have other ideas, we would love to hear them.
