Mock not found in the registry for Camel route test - apache-camel

Question

I am trying to test a Camel route (polling messages from an SQS queue) containing
.bean("messageParserProcessor")
where messageParserProcessor is a Processor.
The test:
public class SomeTest extends CamelTestSupport {
private final String queueName = ...;
private final String producerTemplateUri = "aws-sqs://" + queueName + ...;
private static final String MESSAGE_PARSER_PROCESSOR_MOCK_ENDPOINT = "mock:messageParserProcessor";
#EndpointInject(uri = MESSAGE_PARSER_PROCESSOR_MOCK_ENDPOINT)
protected MockEndpoint messageParserProcessor;
#Override
public boolean isUseAdviceWith() {
return true;
}
#Before
public void setUpContext() throws Exception {
context.getRouteDefinitions().get(0).adviceWith(context, new AdviceWithRouteBuilder() {
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
interceptSendToEndpoint("bean:messageParserProcessor")
.skipSendToOriginalEndpoint()
.process(MESSAGE_PARSER_PROCESSOR_MOCK_ENDPOINT);
}
});
}
#Test
public void testParser() throws Exception {
context.start();
String expectedBody = "test";
messageParserProcessor.expectedBodiesReceived(expectedBody);
ProducerTemplate template = context.createProducerTemplate();
template.sendBody(producerTemplateUri, expectedBody);
messageParserProcessor.assertIsSatisfied();
context.stop();
}
}
When I run the test I get this error:
org.apache.camel.FailedToCreateRouteException:
Failed to create route route1 at:
>>> InterceptSendToEndpoint[bean:messageParserProcessor -> [process[ref:mock:messageParserProcessor]]] <<< in route: Route(route1)[[From[aws-sqs://xxx...
because of No bean could be found in the registry for: mock:messageParserProcessor of type: org.apache.camel.Processor
Same error if I replace interceptSendToEndpoint(...) with mockEndpointsAndSkip("bean:messageParserProcessor")
The test can be executed (but obviously doesn't pass) when I don't use a mock:
interceptSendToEndpoint("bean:messageParserProcessor")
.skipSendToOriginalEndpoint()
.process(new Processor() {
#Override
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {}
});
So the problem is the mock that is not found, what is wrong in the way I create it?

Answer 1

So I found a workaround to retrieve mocks from the registry:
interceptSendToEndpoint("bean:messageParserProcessor")
.skipSendToOriginalEndpoint()
.bean(getMockEndpoint(MESSAGE_PARSER_PROCESSOR_MOCK_ENDPOINT));
// Instead of
// .process(MESSAGE_PARSER_PROCESSOR_MOCK_ENDPOINT);
But I still don't understand why using .process("mock:someBean") doesn't work...
