JUnit 4: AEM Sling Servlet Unit Test Example Using wcm.io AEM Mocks, Servlet by Resource Type

This article will demonstrate how to write AEM Unit tests for @SlingServletResourceTypes (OSGi DS 1.4 (R7) component property type annotations) using the Junit4 testing framework. With developers being more visual, the source code is posted below.

Technologies here used are:

  • AEM project archetype 19 (link)
  • Mockito 2.27.0 (link)
  • AEM Mocks JUnit 4 2.7.2 (link)

This example uses the AEM project archetype 19 to generate a new AEM project, Junit 4 will be used as the testing framework, Mockito 2.27.0 will be used as the mocking framework, and AEM Mocks will be used to mock AEM objects and AEM API.

What’s really great about the latest versions of AEM mocks, is that the setup is very minimal. After spinning up a new AEM project from the AEM project archetype 19, you simply need to include the AEM Mocks dependency, and you are ready to go!

Using OSGI R7 annotations for your AEM project requires some additional dependencies. Check out Adobe’s guide to enable OSGI R7 annotations.

Last Thoughts:
Though the endpoint path is ugly (because it consists of extensions, selectors, and etc…), it is recomended to register servlet by resource types rather than by path (click here to learn why @SlingServletPaths, register by path, are not recommended).

If there is a requirement to mask or to sugarcoat the ugly URI paths, a common strategy used is the Apache webserver. Click here to learn to sugar coat registered AEM servlet scripts and paths endpoint.
