Validating Spring Boot Thymeleaf Context Loading in spring-boot-examples

This test suite validates the core Spring Boot application context initialization for a Thymeleaf-enabled application. It ensures proper bootstrapping of the Spring context and Thymeleaf template engine configuration.

Test Coverage Overview

The test coverage focuses on validating the Spring Boot application context loading with Thymeleaf integration.

Key areas covered include:

Spring context initialization
Thymeleaf template engine configuration
Component scanning verification
Application bootstrap integrity

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach uses Spring Boot’s test framework with JUnit integration. It leverages @SpringBootTest annotation for full application context loading and @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) for Spring TestContext Framework support.

The implementation demonstrates Spring Boot’s convention-over-configuration testing pattern with automatic context configuration detection.

Technical Details

Testing tools and configuration:

JUnit 4 testing framework
Spring Boot Test module
SpringRunner test executor
Automated context loading verification
Thymeleaf template resolution testing

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite follows Spring Boot testing best practices by implementing a clean, focused context loading test.

Notable practices include:

Proper test class annotation structure
Minimal test context configuration
Efficient application context validation
Clear test method naming conventions
