The JBang tool support in Citrus is described in more detail in &lt;a href=&quot;https://citrusframework.org/citrus/reference/html#runtime-jbang&quot;&gt;reference guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Running Citrus via JBang does not require any project setup which is a fantastic match for fast prototyping of integration tests.
The JBang command will automatically set up everything you need to run the Citrus test.
This means you can run your test case sources directly from your command line.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To initialize a test you can run the script &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus@citrusframework/citrus&lt;/code&gt; with the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;init&lt;/code&gt; command as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Initialize my-test.yaml&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;jbang citrus@citrusframework/citrus init my-test.yaml
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The command above uses the JBang catalog &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus@citrusframework/citrus&lt;/code&gt; located on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus&quot;&gt;Citrus GitHub repository&lt;/a&gt;.
JBang will automatically resolve all dependencies and execute the command line script tool.
This initializes the Citrus test file.
You will find the created test source file in the current directory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;my-test.yaml&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-yaml highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;my-test&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;author&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;Citrus&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;FINAL&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;Sample test in YAML&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;variables&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;value&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;Citrus rocks!&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;actions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;${message}&quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The JBang script is able to initialize any supported Citrus test domain specific language &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.java&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.xml&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.yaml&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.groovy&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.feature&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can now run this test source file without any prior project setup using Citrus JBang:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Run my-test.yaml&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;jbang citrus@citrusframework/citrus run my-test.yaml
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The command output will be like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Output&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;main] citrusframework.testng.TestNGEngine : Running &lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;test source &lt;/span&gt;my-test.yaml

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;install-citrus-jbang-app&quot;&gt;Install Citrus JBang app&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a more convenient command line usage you can install Citrus as a JBang app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Install Citrus as JBang app&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;jbang trust add https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/
jbang app &lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;install &lt;/span&gt;citrus@citrusframework/citrus
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now you can just call &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus&lt;/code&gt; and create and run tests with Citrus JBang.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Run my-test.yaml&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;citrus run my-test.yaml
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;run-tests&quot;&gt;Run tests&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can directly run test sources with Citrus JBang.
This includes test sources written in Java (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.java&lt;/code&gt;), XML (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.xml&lt;/code&gt;), YAML (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.yaml&lt;/code&gt;), Groovy (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.groovy&lt;/code&gt;) or as a Cucumber Gherkin feature file (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.feature&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;java-test-sources&quot;&gt;Java test sources&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Initialize MyTest.java&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;citrus init MyTest.java
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;MyTest.java&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nn&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework.TestCaseRunner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nn&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework.annotations.CitrusResource&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nn&quot;&gt;static&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;citrusframework&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;actions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;CreateVariablesAction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;Builder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;createVariables&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nn&quot;&gt;static&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;citrusframework&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;actions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;EchoAction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;Builder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;MyTest&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;implements&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Runnable&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestCaseRunner&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Override&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;run&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Run MyTest.java&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Then &lt;/span&gt;print '${message}'
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Run my-test.feature&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;jbang &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;--deps&lt;/span&gt; org.citrusframework:citrus-cucumber-all:4.9.0-SNAPSHOT citrus run my-test.feature
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;NOTE:&lt;/em&gt; Many of the predefined Cucumber steps (e.g. &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;Then print '&amp;lt;message&amp;gt;'&lt;/code&gt;) in Citrus are provided in a separate Citrus child project called &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks&quot;&gt;YAKS&lt;/a&gt;.
You need to add additional project dependencies for that steps to be loaded as part of the JBang script.
The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;--deps&lt;/code&gt; option adds dependencies using Maven artifact coordinates.
You may add the additional modules to the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;jbang.properties&lt;/code&gt; as described in the next section.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;additional-jbang-dependencies&quot;&gt;Additional JBang dependencies&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus JBang comes with a set of default dependencies that makes the scripts run as tests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The default modules that you can use in Citrus JBang are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-base&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-jbang-connector&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-groovy&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-xml&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-yaml&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-http&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-validation-json&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-validation-xml&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This enables you to run Java, YAML, XML, Groovy tests out of the box.
In case your tests uses an additional feature from the Citrus project you may need to add the module so JBang can load the dependency at startup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to do this is to create a &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;jbang.properties&lt;/code&gt; file that defines the additional dependencies:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;jbang.properties&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-properties highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;c&quot;&gt;# Declare required additional dependencies
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;run.deps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-camel:4.9.4,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;se&quot;&gt;\
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-testcontainers:4.9.4,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;se&quot;&gt;\
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework:citrus-kafka:4.9.4&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The file above adds the modules &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus-camel&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus-testcontainers&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus-kafka&lt;/code&gt; so you can use them in your JBang Citrus test source.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;jbang.properties&lt;/code&gt; file may be located right next to the test source file or in your user home directory for global settings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;IMPORTANT:&lt;/em&gt; In case you want to run Cucumber BDD Gherkin feature files and use the predefined steps included in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks&quot;&gt;YAKS&lt;/a&gt; project,
you need to add this YAKS runtime dependency accordingly: &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework.yaks:yaks-standard:0.20.0&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;run-from-clipboard&quot;&gt;Run from clipboard&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can run tests from your current clipboard.
Just use the file name &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;clipboard.xxx&lt;/code&gt; where the file extension defines the type of the test source (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.java&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.yaml&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.xml&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.groovy&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;.feature&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Run YAML test from Clipboard&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;citrus run clipboard.yaml
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;list-tests&quot;&gt;List tests&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;ls&lt;/code&gt; command lists all running Citrus tests.
These tests may be started&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;List running tests&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;citrus &lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;ls&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Command output&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;PID   NAME         STATUS  AGE

The Quarkus support in Citrus is described in more detail in &lt;a href=&quot;https://citrusframework.org/citrus/reference/html#runtime-quarkus&quot;&gt;reference guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;objectives&quot;&gt;Objectives&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project uses the Quarkus test framework to set up a dev services environment with JUnit Jupiter where the application is running on the local machine.
The Quarkus dev services capabilities will automatically start Testcontainers during the test in order to simulate the surrounding infrastructure
(e.g. PostgreSQL database and the Kafka message broker).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to learn more about Quarkus, please visit its website: &lt;a href=&quot;https://quarkus.io/&quot;&gt;https://quarkus.io/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;quarkus-sample-application&quot;&gt;Quarkus sample application&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Quarkus sample demo application is a food market event-driven application that listens for incoming events of type &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;supply&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/assets/sample-quarkus/food-market-app-demo.png&quot; alt=&quot;Food Market App&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Users are able to add booking events. Each of them references a product and gives an amount as well as an accepted price in a simple Json object structure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;client&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;citrus-test&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;product&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;Pineapple&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;amount&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;price&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mf&quot;&gt;0.99&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the same time suppliers may add their individual supply events that again reference a product with an amount and a selling price.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Quarkus application consumes both event types and as soon as bookings and supplies do match in all criteria the food market application will produce booking-completed and shipping events as a result.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All events are produced and consumed with Kafka event streams.
The domain model objects with their individual status are stored in a PostgreSQL database.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;adding-citrus-to-the-project&quot;&gt;Adding Citrus to the project&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking at the Maven &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;pom.xml&lt;/code&gt; you will see that Citrus is added as a test scoped dependency.
The most convenient way to add Citrus to your project is to import the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus-bom&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-xml highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;dependencyManagement&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;dependencies&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;dependency&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;groupId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;org.citrusframework&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/groupId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;artifactId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;citrus-bom&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/artifactId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;version&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;4.9.4&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/version&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;type&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;pom&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/type&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;scope&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;import&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/scope&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/dependency&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/dependencies&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/dependencyManagement&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus is very modular. This means you can choose from a wide range of modules that add specific testing capabilities to the project (e.g. citrus-kafka, citrus-http, citrus-mail, …).
In this sample project we include the following modules as test scoped dependencies:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;citrus-quarkus&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;citrus-kafka&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;citrus-http&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;citrus-sql&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;citrus-selenium&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;citrus-validation-json&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;citrus-validation-text&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus-quarkus&lt;/code&gt; module provides the QuarkusTest resource implementation that enables Citrus on a Quarkus test.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-xml highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;dependency&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;groupId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;org.citrusframework&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/groupId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;artifactId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;citrus-quarkus&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/artifactId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/dependency&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The other modules add very specific Citrus capabilities such as validation of a Json message payload.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This completes the dependency setup.
Now we can move on to writing an automated integration test that verifies the Quarkus application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;enable-citrus-with-quarkustest&quot;&gt;Enable Citrus with QuarkusTest&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test uses an arbitrary &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@QuarkusTest&lt;/code&gt; annotation with JUnit Jupiter.
This means that Quarkus takes care of starting the application under test.
It also starts some Testcontainers for the PostgreSQL database and the Kafka message broker.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can enable the Citrus capabilities on the test by adding the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@CitrusSupport&lt;/code&gt; annotation to the test class.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@QuarkusTest&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusSupport&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;FoodMarketApplicationTest&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusResource&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestCaseRunner&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Inject&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;ObjectMapper&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;mapper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Test&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;shouldProcessEvents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;createBooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
        
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;createSupply&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
        
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;verifyBookingCompletedEvent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
        
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;verifyShippingEvent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Citrus enabled test is able to inject additional resources such as the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;TestCaseRunner&lt;/code&gt;.
This runner is the entrance to all Citrus related test actions like send/receive messages or querying and verifying entities in the database.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test will perform four main actions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Create a booking event&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Create a matching supply event&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Verify the booking completed event&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Verify the shipping event&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In first version of the test all events will be sent/received via the Kafka message broker.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;stage-1-prototyping-the-test&quot;&gt;Stage #1: Prototyping the test&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus is able to send and receive messages via Kafka quite easily.
You can use a dynamic endpoint URL (e.g. &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;kafka:my-topic-name&lt;/code&gt;) to exchange data.
The message content (header and body) is given with simple inline Json Strings in this first prototype.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@QuarkusTest&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusSupport&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;FoodMarketDemoTest&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusResource&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestCaseRunner&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Test&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;shouldMatchBookingAndSupply&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;createBooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;createSupply&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;verifyBookingCompletedEvent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;verifyShippingEvent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;createBooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;kafka:bookings&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;&quot;&quot;
                    {
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;citrus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;,
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;product&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: {
                            &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Kiwi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;
                        },
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;amount&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: 10,
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: 0.99,
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;shippingAddress&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mo&quot;&gt;001&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Foo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Blvd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;
                    }
                &quot;&quot;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;c1&quot;&gt;//...&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The injected Citrus &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;TestCaseRunner&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;t&lt;/code&gt; is able to use Gherkin Given-When-Then syntax and references the KafkaEndpoint &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;kafka:bookings&lt;/code&gt; in the send operation.
The message body is a simple Json String that represents the booking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rest of the story is quite easy.
In the same way we can also send a &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;supply&lt;/code&gt; event and then receive &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;completed&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;shipping&lt;/code&gt; events in the test.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When receiving the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;completed&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;shipping&lt;/code&gt; events the test is able to use the Citrus Json validation power coming with the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;citrus-validation-json&lt;/code&gt; module.
Citrus will compare the received Json object with an expected template and make sure that all fields and properties do match as expected.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;FoodMarketApplicationTest&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;c1&quot;&gt;// ...&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;verifyBookingCompletedEvent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;receive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;kafka:completed?timeout=10000&amp;amp;consumerGroup=citrus-booking&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;&quot;&quot;
                    {
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;citrus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;,
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;product&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Kiwi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;,
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;amount&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: 10,
                        &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;: &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;COMPLETED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;
                    }
                &quot;&quot;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Citrus Json validation will now compare the received event with the expected Json object and fail the test when there is a mismatch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Citrus Json validation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;client&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;citrus&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;product&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;Kiwi&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;amount&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;COMPLETED&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;//&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;compared&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;client&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;citrus&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;product&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;Kiwi&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;amount&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;COMPLETED&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Json validation is very powerful.
You can ignore properties (expected value set to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@ignore@&lt;/code&gt;), use validation matchers, functions and test variables.
A mismatch in the order of elements or some difference in the formatting of the Json document is not failing the test.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In case there is a mismatch you will be provided with an error and the test fails accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;running-the-citrus-tests&quot;&gt;Running the Citrus tests&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Quarkus test framework uses JUnit Jupiter as a test driver.
This means you can run the tests just like any other JUnit test (e.g. from your Java IDE, with Maven).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;./mvnw &lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;test&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Citrus test capabilities are added on top of &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@QuarkusTest&lt;/code&gt; with the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@CitrusSupport&lt;/code&gt; annotation.
So you will not need any other configuration to empower the tests with Citrus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;stage-2-use-endpoint-builders-and-domain-model-objects&quot;&gt;Stage #2: Use endpoint builders and domain model objects&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Using the dynamic endpoint &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;kafka:my-topic-name&lt;/code&gt; may be a good and easy start for prototyping.
When it comes to writing more tests in your project you may want to leverage a central Kafka endpoint configuration and reuse it in multiple tests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can add a &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@CitrusConfiguration&lt;/code&gt; annotation that loads endpoints from one to many configuration classes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@QuarkusTest&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusSupport&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusConfiguration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;classes&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CitrusEndpointConfig&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;})&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;FoodMarketDemoTest&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusResource&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestCaseRunner&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusEndpoint&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;supplies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusEndpoint&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;bookings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusEndpoint&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;completed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusEndpoint&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;shipping&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;c1&quot;&gt;// code the tests&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the loaded &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;CitrusEndpointConfig&lt;/code&gt; class the Kafka endpoint instances get configured for all tests that load the configuration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;CitrusEndpointConfig&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@BindToRegistry&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;bookings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;kafka&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;asynchronous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;topic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;bookings&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;build&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@BindToRegistry&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;supplies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;kafka&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;asynchronous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;topic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;supplies&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;build&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@BindToRegistry&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;shipping&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;kafka&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;asynchronous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;topic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;shipping&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;consumerGroup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;citrus-shipping&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;timeout&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;10000L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;build&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@BindToRegistry&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;KafkaEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;completed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;kafka&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;asynchronous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;topic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;completed&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;consumerGroup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;citrus-completed&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;timeout&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;10000L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;build&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;c1&quot;&gt;// more endpoints&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The configuration class uses the KafkaEndpoint builder and binds the components to the Citrus registry.
With that configuration you can inject the endpoint instances in your test with the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@CitrusEndpoint&lt;/code&gt; annotation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now you can reference the endpoint in Citrus send/receive test actions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Product&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;product&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Product&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Kiwi&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;citrus&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;product&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;mf&quot;&gt;0.99&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestHelper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;createShippingAddress&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getFullAddress&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;());&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;createBooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;bookings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;marshal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another improvement for the test is to use the domain model object &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/code&gt; as a message payload instead of using the inline Json String.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;stage-3-add-mail-verification&quot;&gt;Stage #3: Add mail verification&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So far the test has been using Kafka endpoints exclusively.
Citrus provides a huge set of components to connect to different messaging transports and technologies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a next step the test verifies a mail message that is sent by the Quarkus application when a booking has been completed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First of all the configuration adds a Citrus mail server.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@BindToRegistry&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MailServer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;mailServer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;mail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;server&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;port&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;2222&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;knownUsers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Collections&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;singletonList&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;foodmarket@quarkus.io:foodmarket:secr3t&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;autoAccept&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;autoStart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kc&quot;&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;build&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mail server accepts incoming mail requests on port &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;2222&lt;/code&gt; and adds some known users.
The Quarkus application then uses the connection credentials in the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;application.properties&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-properties highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.mock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;false&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.own-host-name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;localhost&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.from&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;foodmarket@quarkus.io&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.host&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;localhost&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.port&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;2222&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.username&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;foodmarket&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.password&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;secr3t&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;py&quot;&gt;quarkus.mailer.start-tls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;OPTIONAL&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test is able to reference this mail server to verify the mail sent by Quarkus.&lt;/p&gt;

                            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;formatted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(),&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getProduct&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getName&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()),&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;text/plain&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)));&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;mailServer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MailMessage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;response&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;250&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)));&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mail verification includes the validation of all mail related properties (e.g. from, to, subject, body) and the simulation of the mail server response (250 OK).
This is a good point to simulate a mail server error in order to verify the resilience and the error handling on the Quarkus application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;stage-4-use-testbehaviors&quot;&gt;Stage #4: Use TestBehaviors&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus has the concept of TestBehaviors to reuse a set of test actions in multiple tests.
The mail verification steps may be added into a behavior so many tests can make use of it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;VerifyBookingCompletedMail&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;implements&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestBehavior&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Override&lt;/span&gt;

                    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;%s@quarkus.io&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;formatted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()))&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;run&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;mailServer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MailMessage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;response&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;())&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test is able to apply the behavior quite easily.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;verifyBookingCompletedMail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;applyBehavior&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;VerifyBookingCompletedMail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;mailServer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)));&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;stage-5-use-the-http-rest-api&quot;&gt;Stage #5: Use the Http REST API&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Quarkus application under test also provides a Http REST API to manage bookings and supplies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Citrus test is able to call the REST API with a Http client.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@BindToRegistry&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;HttpClient&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;foodMarketApiClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;http&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;requestUrl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;http://localhost:8081&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;build&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;createBooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;contentType&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MediaType&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;response&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;HttpStatus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;CREATED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;extract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;json&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;expression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;$.id&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;bookingId&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test now sends a Http POST request to create the booking.
The client is able to verify the Http response &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;201 CREATED&lt;/code&gt; and also save the generated booking id for later reference in the test.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;stage-6-verify-entities-in-the-database&quot;&gt;Stage #6: Verify entities in the database&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test may also verify the entities saved to the PostgreSQL database.
The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;@QuarkusTest&lt;/code&gt; dev services is able to inject the dataSource that connects to the PostgreSQL database Testcontainers that is startes as part of the test.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Inject&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DataSource&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;dataSource&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;verifyBookingStatus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;Status&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;sql&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;dataSource&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;dataSource&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;query&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;statement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;select status from booking where booking.id=${bookingId}&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;validate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;())&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The SQL verification uses the extracted &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;bookingId&lt;/code&gt; test variable to identify the entity in the database.
The returned result set gets verified with the expected column values (e.g. &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;status=COMPLETED&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;stage-7-use-openapi-specification&quot;&gt;Stage #7: Use OpenAPI specification&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Quarkus application also exposes its OpenAPI specification for the REST API.
The Citrus test is able to leverage this specification when sending/receiving Http messages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;final&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;OpenApiSpecification&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;foodMarketSpec&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;OpenApiSpecification&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;from&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;http://localhost:8081/q/openapi&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;createBooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Booking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;openapi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;specification&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;foodMarketSpec&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;foodMarketApiClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;addBooking&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;marshal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;booking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;openapi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;specification&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;foodMarketSpec&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;client&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;foodMarketApiClient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;receive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;addBooking&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;HttpStatus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;CREATED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;extract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;json&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;expression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;$.id&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;bookingId&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test loads the OpenAPI specification from the Quarkus application with the URL &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;http://localhost:8081/q/openapi&lt;/code&gt;.
The specification then is used with the Http send test action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The action references an operation with the id &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;addBooking&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-yaml highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nn&quot;&gt;---&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;openapi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;3.0.3&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;title&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;citrus-demo-quarkus API&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;version&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;1.0.0&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;servers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;url&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;http://localhost:8080&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;Auto generated value&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;url&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;http://0.0.0.0:8080&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;Auto generated value&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;paths&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;/api/bookings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;operationId&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;addBooking&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;requestBody&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;content&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;application/json&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;schema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
              &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;$ref&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;#/components/schemas/Booking'&lt;/span&gt;
      &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;responses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;200&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;pi&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Citrus test action now leverages information given in the specification such as resource path &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;/api/bookings&lt;/code&gt; and the content type &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;application/json&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;stage-8-ui-testing-with-selenium&quot;&gt;Stage #8: UI testing with Selenium&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus also integrates with Selenium UI testing.
This means that the test is able to open the browser and navigate to the Quarkus application home URL.
Then the test may simulate user interactions such as clicking on links and buttons on the page.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;approveBooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;given&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;selenium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;browser&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;browser&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;start&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;());&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;given&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;doFinally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;actions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;selenium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;browser&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;browser&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;stop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()));&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;selenium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;browser&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;browser&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;navigate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;http://localhost:8081&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;delay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;seconds&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;summary&quot;&gt;Summary&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The sample application has shown how you can integrate Citrus within a Quarkus test.
The Quarkus test is able to use the Citrus capabilities because of the Citrus Quarkus extension that is provided since Citrus 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;</content><author><name></name></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://0.0.0.0:4000/img/icons/quarkus.png" /></entry><entry><title type="html">Citrus 4.0.0</title><link href="http://0.0.0.0:4000/news/2023/10/25/release-4.0.0/" rel="alternate" type="text/html" title="Citrus 4.0.0" /><published>2023-10-25T00:00:00+02:00</published><updated>2023-10-25T00:00:00+02:00</updated><id>http://0.0.0.0:4000/news/2023/10/25/release-4.0.0</id><content type="html" xml:base="http://0.0.0.0:4000/news/2023/10/25/release-4.0.0/">&lt;p&gt;The community is proud to announce the availability of Citrus 4.0.0!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;objectives&quot;&gt;Objectives&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus 4.0 is a major release mainly driven by the industry migrating from &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;javax.*&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;jakarta.*&lt;/code&gt; APIs. The new version uses Java 17 and aligns with popular Java enterprise libraries such as Spring Boot and Quarkus. Citrus 4 uses updated versions of many dependency libraries (e.g. Spring 6, Apache Camel 4, Cucumber 7, Selenium 4, Jakarta EE and many more). The proper alignment with those libraries and the evolving of Java’s ecosystem in general is a key driver for Citrus 4.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course the new major version also addresses many improvements and fixes. That being said we try to keep breaking changes on a low-level in order to provide a smooth migration from former versions. Due to the breaking changes in the many &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;javax&lt;/code&gt; APIs this might not always be possible though. People coming from Citrus 3.x should have a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/wiki/migration-guide:-citrus-3.x-to-4.x&quot;&gt;3.x migration guide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are the main objectives we have with Citrus 4.0&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Java 17&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Move to groupId &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Update dependencies to latest major versions&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Move from &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;javax.*&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;jakarta.*&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Polyglot test runner support (XML, Groovy and YAML)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;QuarkusTest runtime support&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Remove deprecated modules and code&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;java-17&quot;&gt;Java 17&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Citrus 4.0 bits are compiled with Java 17 (was Java 11 for Citrus 3.x). This means you need to use Java 17 as a minimum to run Citrus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We recommend to use the following setup:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Java 17+&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Maven 3.9+&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;As runtime one of
    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;JUnit Jupiter 5.10+&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;TestNG 7.8+&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Cucumber 7.14+&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;JUnit 4.13+&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Quarkus Test 3.4+&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course this also means that you are able to use the full greatness of evolving Java features such as records, multiline text blocks and so many more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;maven-groupid-orgcitrusframework&quot;&gt;Maven groupId “org.citrusframework”&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus is an Open Source project and promotes the idea of open code and community contributions. For over a decade Citrus has been using the groupId &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;com.consol.citrus&lt;/code&gt; because the company &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.consol.com/&quot;&gt;ConSol Software GmbH&lt;/a&gt; and its employees have been a driving force in creating and maintaining the project since the very beginning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still ConSol plays a significant role in the success of Citrus by adapting and promoting the project in so many ways.
However, the list of new contributors emerges and Citrus benefits from many community contributions these days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For the sake of strengthening the Open Source idea we decided to move the Citrus groupId from &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;com.consol.citrus&lt;/code&gt; to a more generic &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework&lt;/code&gt; from Citrus 4.0 onwards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the move to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework&lt;/code&gt; we decided to happily comply with the Open Source nature of the project because nowadays, the project receives valuable contributions from many companies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please update the groupId in your Maven &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;pom.xml&lt;/code&gt; accordingly when updating to Citrus 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-xml highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;dependency&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;groupId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;org.citrusframework&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/groupId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;artifactId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;citrus-bom&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/artifactId&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;version&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;4.9.4&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/version&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;type&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;pom&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/type&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;scope&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;import&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/scope&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;nt&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/dependency&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since the groupId also represents the basic Java package used in Citrus the packages of all Citrus Java classes have also changed from &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;com.consol.citrus&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;org.citrusframework&lt;/code&gt; so please replace all occurrences and imports accordingly as you update.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please do not worry as it should be nothing more than a search-and-replace operation in your project codebase in order to use the new base package wherever it may be referenced.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;dependency-update&quot;&gt;Dependency update&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus depends on many fantastic libraries and projects. With the move to the Jakarta API many of them hava had major version releases in 2023. Citrus now aligns with the latest and greatest versions of these libraries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new library versions used in Citrus 4.0 are:&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;td style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;&gt;2.2&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;move-to-jakarta-api&quot;&gt;Move to Jakarta API&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many libraries accomplish the switch from &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;javax.*&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;jakarta.*&lt;/code&gt; APIs. The migration itself can be a tough task and the Citrus team is happy to have tackled this move with the new major version update.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For you as a user this move may not cause much trouble because the Citrus dependencies are all using the new Jakarta APIs already. In case you are using Citrus in combination with an older servlet container or with a library that still uses the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;javax&lt;/code&gt; APIs it may be time to also update these dependencies in your project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;polyglot-test-runner-support&quot;&gt;Polyglot test runner support&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus provides many ways to write test cases. The most popular ones are using the Java DSL and the Spring bean XML syntax. In addition to that you can now choose to write Citrus tests in pure XML, YAML or Groovy. All of them share the same feature set, so you can adapt the test language to your individual requirements (not everybody is a Java expert and this is fine).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;quarkustest-runtime&quot;&gt;QuarkusTest runtime&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quarkus is an emerging enterprise Java stack that is keen to bring Java as a leading platform into the cloud-native application future. With Citrus 4 you can directly combine the test framework with the test capabilities of Quarkus. The Quarkus test framework provides awesome features such as dev services, auto configuration and first class integration with Testcontainers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus now provides a Quarkus extension that is able to hook into the QuarkusTest runtime so you can inject Citrus capabilities into your Quarkus test.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Read more about it in &lt;a href=&quot;https://citrusframework.org/citrus/reference/html/index.html#runtime-quarkus&quot;&gt;docs/reference/index.html#runtime-quarkus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;removed-modules&quot;&gt;Removed modules&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it is the time to say goodbye and a new major version is always a good point to get rid of obsolete and outdated things. Some Citrus modules are declared “end of life” and are being discontinued, some modules will just be moved to a separate code repository.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These modules have been removed from the main Citrus project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;citrus-java-dsl&lt;/strong&gt; deprecated Java domain specific language that was based on the TestDesigner interface&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;citrus-arquillian&lt;/strong&gt; Arquillian integration to run Citrus as part of the Arquillian framework&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;citrus-jdbc&lt;/strong&gt; JDBC server implementation that is able to simulate any JDBC driver and database&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;citrus-remote&lt;/strong&gt; Run Citrus via remote Http tunnel on a foreign server&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Removing the modules does not mean that these bits are completely gone forever though. Some modules have just been moved out of the Citrus project into new separate code repositories. This is mainly because these modules do have experimental status and updating to Jakarta EE and Java 17 has not been possible at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The experimental modules moved to separate repositories are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;citrus-remote&lt;/em&gt; lives on in &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus-remote&quot;&gt;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus-remote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;citrus-jdbc&lt;/em&gt; endpoint module has been moved to &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus-db&quot;&gt;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus-db&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The code and functionality of those modules stays the same. Also, the code has already received updates on the major releases such as Spring 6.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is up to the community though to decide about the future maintenance and release cadence as these modules will not be released automatically with Citrus main project anymore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;provide-feedback-and-help&quot;&gt;Provide feedback and help&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please adapt to using Citrus 4 as soon as possible and give us feedback what is working and what may need more attention.
We would love to hear from you how you like Citrus 4! Also the documentation has not been fully updated yet. Any help is much appreciated! So in case you have something to improve of fix just open a PR we are more than happy to receive your contributions!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;thank-you&quot;&gt;Thank you!&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let’s use this opportunity to thank everybody involved in making this Citrus 4 release happen. The Citrus community did a tremendous job to brings this all together! The Citrus team is very proud to have a new version of Citrus available that after 16+ years of development still is up-to-date with the latest and greatest software libraries out there! THANK YOU!&lt;/p&gt;</content><author><name>Christoph Deppisch</name></author></entry><entry><title type="html">Testing Camel K with YAKS</title><link href="http://0.0.0.0:4000/news/2023/01/30/camel-k-yaks/" rel="alternate" type="text/html" title="Testing Camel K with YAKS" /><published>2023-01-30T00:00:00+01:00</published><updated>2023-01-30T00:00:00+01:00</updated><id>http://0.0.0.0:4000/news/2023/01/30/camel-k-yaks</id><content type="html" xml:base="http://0.0.0.0:4000/news/2023/01/30/camel-k-yaks/">&lt;p&gt;This post describes the steps to test a Camel K integration with YAKS both locally and on the Kubernetes platform.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/assets/camel-k-yaks/featured.png&quot; alt=&quot;featured.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;what-is-yaks&quot;&gt;What is YAKS?&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks&quot;&gt;YAKS&lt;/a&gt; is an Open Source test automation platform that leverages Behavior Driven
Development concepts for running tests locally and on Cloud infrastructure (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://kubernetes.io/&quot;&gt;Kubernetes&lt;/a&gt; or
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openshift.com/&quot;&gt;OpenShift&lt;/a&gt;).
This means that the testing tool is able to run your tests both as local tests and natively on Kubernetes.
The framework is specifically designed to verify Serverless and Microservice applications and aims for integration testing
with the application under test up and running in a production-like environment.
A typical YAKS test uses the very same infrastructure as the application under test and exchanges data/events over different
messaging transports (e.g. Http REST, Knative eventing, Kafka, JMS and many more).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As YAKS itself is written in Java the runtime uses a Java virtual machine with build tools such as Maven and integrates with
well known Java testing frameworks such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://junit.org/junit5/&quot;&gt;JUnit&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://cucumber.io/&quot;&gt;Cucumber&lt;/a&gt; and
&lt;a href=&quot;https://citrusframework.org&quot;&gt;Citrus&lt;/a&gt; to run the tests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First of all here is a small sample Camel K integration that we would like to test in the following.
The integration exposes a Http service to the user.
The service accepts client Http POST requests that add fruit model objects.
The Camel K route applies content based routing to store the fruits in different AWS S3 buckets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/assets/camel-k-yaks/test-scenario.png&quot; alt=&quot;test-scenario.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the test scenario YAKS is going to invoke the Camel K service and verify that the message content has been sent to the right AWS S3 bucket.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is a sample fruit model object that is subject to be stored in AWS S3:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-json highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;id&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;1000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;name&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;Pineapple&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;category&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;id&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;1&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;name&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;tropical&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;nutrition&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;calories&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;sugar&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mi&quot;&gt;9&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;status&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;AVAILABLE&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;price&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mf&quot;&gt;1.59&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;tags&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;sweet&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;w&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is the Camel K integration route:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-groovy highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;from&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'platform-http:/fruits'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'received fruit ${body}'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;unmarshal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;json&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;removeHeaders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;*&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;setHeader&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;CamelAwsS3Key&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;constant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;fruit.json&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;choice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;simple&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'${body[nutrition][sugar]} &amp;lt;= 5'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;setHeader&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;CamelAwsS3BucketName&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;constant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;low-sugar&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;simple&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'${body[nutrition][sugar]} &amp;gt; 5 &amp;amp;&amp;amp; ${body[nutrition][sugar]} &amp;lt;= 10'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;setHeader&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;CamelAwsS3BucketName&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;constant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;medium-sugar&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;otherwise&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;setHeader&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;CamelAwsS3BucketName&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;constant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;high-sugar&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;end&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;marshal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;json&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;'sending ${body}'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;aws2-s3://noop?$parameters&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The route uses content based routing EAP based on the nutrition sugar rating of a given fruit in order to send the fruits
to different AWS S3 buckets (low-sugar, medium-sugar, high-sugar).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the following the test case for this integration needs to invoke the exposed service with different fruits and verify its outcome on AWS S3.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;how-to-test-locally-with-yaks&quot;&gt;How to test locally with YAKS&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the beginning let’s just write the test and run it locally.
For now, we do not care how to deploy the application under test in the Cloud infrastructure as everything is running on
the local machine using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jbang.dev/&quot;&gt;JBang&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JBang is a fantastic way to just start coding and running Java code and also Camel K integrations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YAKS as a framework brings a set of ready-to-use domain specific languages (XML, YAML, Groovy, BDD Cucumber steps) for writing
tests in order to verify your deployed services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This post uses the Behavior Driven Development integration via Cucumber.
So the YAKS test is a single feature file that uses BDD Gherkin syntax like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-gherkin highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;Feature&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Camel K Fruit Store

  &lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;Background&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Given URL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;http&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;//localhost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;8080&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;Scenario&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Create infrastructure
    &lt;span class=&quot;c&quot;&gt;# Start AWS S3 container&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Given &lt;/span&gt;Enable service S3
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Given &lt;/span&gt;start LocalStack container

    &lt;span class=&quot;c&quot;&gt;# Create Camel K integration&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Given &lt;/span&gt;Camel K integration property file aws-s3-credentials.properties
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;When &lt;/span&gt;load Camel K integration fruit-service.groovy
    &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Then Camel K integration fruit-service should print Started route1 (platform-http&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;///fruits)&lt;/span&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;Scenario&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Verify fruit service
    &lt;span class=&quot;c&quot;&gt;# Invoke Camel K service&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Given HTTP request body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;yaks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;readFile('pineapple.json')&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;And &lt;/span&gt;HTTP request header Content-Type=&quot;application/json&quot;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;When &lt;/span&gt;send POST /fruits
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Then &lt;/span&gt;receive HTTP 200 OK

    &lt;span class=&quot;c&quot;&gt;# Verify uploaded S3 file&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Given &lt;/span&gt;New global Camel context
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Given &lt;/span&gt;load to Camel registry amazonS3Client.groovy
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Given &lt;/span&gt;Camel exchange message header CamelAwsS3Key=&quot;fruit.json&quot;
    &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Given receive Camel exchange from(&quot;aws2-s3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;//medium-sugar?amazonS3Client=#amazonS3Client&amp;amp;deleteAfterRead=true&quot;) with body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;yaks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;readFile('pineapple.json')&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let’s walk through the test step by step.
First of all the feature file uses the usual Given-When-Then BDD syntax to give context, describe the actions and verify the outcome.
Each step calls a specific YAKS action that is provided out of the box by the framework.
The user is able to choose from a &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks/tree/main/java/steps&quot;&gt;huge set of steps&lt;/a&gt; that
automatically perform actions like sending/receiving Http requests/responses, starting &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.testcontainers.org/&quot;&gt;Testcontainers&lt;/a&gt;,
running Camel routes, connecting to a database, publishing events on Kafka or Knative brokers and many more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the first scenario the test automatically prepares some required infrastructure.
The YAKS test starts a Localstack &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.testcontainers.org/&quot;&gt;Testcontainer&lt;/a&gt; to have an AWS S3 test instance running (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;Given start LocalStack container&lt;/code&gt;).
Then the test loads and starts the Camel K integration under test (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;When load Camel K integration fruit-service.groovy&lt;/code&gt;) and waits for it to properly start.
In local testing this step starts the Camel K integration using JBang.
Later the post will also run the test in a Kubernetes environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now the infrastructure is up and running and the test is able to load the fruit model object as Http request body
(&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;Given HTTP request body: yaks:readFile('pineapple.json')&lt;/code&gt;) and invoke the Camel K service (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;When send POST /fruits&lt;/code&gt;).
The test waits for the Http response and verifies its 200 OK status.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the last step the test verifies that the fruit object has been added to the right AWS S3 bucket (medium-sugar).
As YAKS itself is not able to connect to AWS S3 the test uses Apache Camel for this step.
The test creates a Camel context, loads a AWS client and connects to AWS S3 with a temporary Camel route
(&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;Given receive Camel exchange from(&quot;aws2-s3://medium-sugar?amazonS3Client=#amazonS3Client&amp;amp;deleteAfterRead=true&quot;)&lt;/code&gt;).
With this Apache Camel integration YAKS is able to use the complete 300+ Camel components for sending and receiving messages
to various messaging transports. The Camel exchange body should be the same fruit model object (&lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;yaks:readFile('pineapple.json'&lt;/code&gt;)
as posted in the initial Http request.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YAKS uses the powerful message payload validation capabilities provided by Citrus for this message content verification.
The validation is able to compare message contents of type XML, Json, plaintext and many more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This completes the test case. You can now run this test with Cucumber and JUnit for instance.
The easiest way though to directly run tests with YAKS is to use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks/releases&quot;&gt;YAKS command line client&lt;/a&gt;.
You do not need to set up a whole project with Maven dependencies and so on.
Just write the test file and run with:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;```shell script
$ yaks run fruit-service.feature –local&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;
You should see some log output like this:

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

# Running YAKS in the Cloud

YAKS is able to run tests both locally and as part of a Kubernetes cluster.
When running tests on Cloud infrastructure YAKS leverages the Operator SDK and provides a specific operator to manage the
test case resources on the cluster.
Each time you declare a test in the form of a [custom resource](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources/)
the YAKS operator automatically takes care of preparing the proper runtime in order to execute the test as a Kubernetes Pod.

Why would you want to run tests as Cloud-native resources on the Kubernetes platform? Kubernetes has become a standard target
platform for Serverless and Microservices architectures.
Developing the services is different in many aspects compared to what we have done for decades.

Writing a Serverless or Microservices application for instance with Camel K is very declarative.
As a developer you just write the Camel route and run it as an integration via the Camel K operator directly on the cluster.
The declarative approach as well as the nature of Serverless applications make us rely on a given runtime infrastructure,
and it is essential to verify the applications also on that infrastructure. So it is only natural to also move the verifying
tests into this very same Cloud infrastructure.
This is why YAKS also brings your tests to the Cloud infrastructure for integration and end-to-end testing.

So here is how it works. You are able to run the very same YAKS test that has been run locally also as a Pod in Kubernetes.

YAKS provides a Kubernetes operator and a set of CRDs (custom resources) that we need to install on the cluster.
The best way to install YAKS is to use the [OperatorHub](https://operatorhub.io/operator/yaks) or the yaks CLI tools that
you can download from the [YAKS GitHub release pages](https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks/releases).

With the yaks-client binary simply run this install command:

```shell script
$ yaks install
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This command prepares your Kubernetes cluster for running tests with YAKS.
It will take care of installing the YAKS custom resource definitions, setting up role permissions and creating the YAKS operator
in a global operator namespace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; You need to be a cluster admin to install custom resource definitions.
The operation needs to be done only once for the entire cluster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now that the YAKS operator is up and running you can run the very same test from local testing also on the Cloud infrastructure.
The only thing that needs to be done is to adjust the Http endpoint URL of the Camel K integration from &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;http://localhost:8080&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;http://fruit-service.${YAKS_NAMESPACE&lt;/code&gt;}&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;```shell script
$ yaks run fruit-service.feature&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;
Please notice that we have just skipped the `--local` CLI option.
Instead of using local JBang tooling to run the test locally now the YAKS CLI connects to the Kubernetes cluster in order
to create the test as a custom resource.
From there the YAKS operator takes over preparing the test runtime and running the test as a Pod.

But wait! The test did prepare some infrastructure, in particular the Camel K integration and the AWS S3 Localstack Testcontainer instance.
How does that work inside Kubernetes? YAKS completely takes care of it.
The Camel K integration is run with the Camel K operator running on the same Kubernetes cluster.
And the Testcontainer AWS S3 instance is automatically run as a Pod in Kubernetes.
Even connection settings are handled automatically. It just works!

You will see some similar test log output when running the test remotely and the test performs its actions and its validation
exactly the same as locally.

You can also review the test Pod outcome with:

```shell script
$ yaks ls
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is an example output you should get:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;NAME           PHASE   TOTAL  PASSED  FAILED  SKIPPED  ERRORS
fruit-service  Passed  3      3       0       0        0
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;demo&quot;&gt;Demo&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The whole demo code is available on this &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/christophd/yaks-demo-camel-k&quot;&gt;GitHub repository&lt;/a&gt;.
It also shows how to integrate the tests in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/christophd/yaks-demo-camel-k/actions&quot;&gt;GitHub CI actions workflow&lt;/a&gt;,
so you can run the tests automatically with every code change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;conclusion&quot;&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This blog post showed how you can test Camel K integrations locally and in a Cloud infrastructure with YAKS.
YAKS as a framework has many more features to offer (Kafka, Knative, OpenAPI, etc.) so this is just the start of a new testing
platform for BDD testing in Cloud-native environments!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please give feedback, ideas and of course contributions to this.

&lt;h1 id=&quot;what-is-yaks&quot;&gt;What is “YAKS”?&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YAKS is an Open Source test automation platform to run your tests as Cloud-native resources on &lt;a href=&quot;https://kubernetes.io/&quot;&gt;Kubernetes&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openshift.com/&quot;&gt;OpenShift&lt;/a&gt;. 
This means the testing tool runs your tests natively on Kubernetes and is specifically designed to verify Serverless and Microservice applications. 
A typical YAKS test uses the very same infrastructure as the System under test and exchanges data/events over different 
messaging transports (e.g. Http REST, Knative eventing, Kafka, JMS and many more).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tests in YAKS follow the BDD (Behavior Driven Development) concepts, so you declare &lt;a href=&quot;https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/reference/&quot;&gt;Gherkin&lt;/a&gt; (Given-When-Then syntax) 
feature files and run those directly as Pod in your cluster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YAKS leverages the Operator SDK and provides a specific operator to manage the test case resources on the cluster. 
Each time you declare a test in the form of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources/&quot;&gt;custom resource&lt;/a&gt; the YAKS operator automatically takes care of preparing the 
proper runtime in order to execute the test as a Kubernetes Pod. 
The runtime uses a Java virtual machine runtime with Maven and leverages &lt;a href=&quot;https://cucumber.io/&quot;&gt;Cucumber&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://citrusframework.org&quot;&gt;Citrus&lt;/a&gt; to run the tests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YAKS as a framework brings a set of ready-to-use &lt;a href=&quot;https://cucumber.io/&quot;&gt;Cucumber steps&lt;/a&gt; so you can just start writing your feature files to verify your deployed services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;why-would-you-want-cloud-native-testing&quot;&gt;Why would you want Cloud-native testing?&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why would you want to run tests as Cloud-native resources on the Kubernetes platform? 
Kubernetes has become a standard target platform for Serverless and Microservices architectures. 
Developing the services is different in many aspects compared to what we have done for decades.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Writing a Serverless or Microservices application for instance with &lt;a href=&quot;https://camel.apache.org/projects/camel-k/&quot;&gt;Camel K&lt;/a&gt; is very declarative. 
As a developer you write a Camel route and run this route as an integration via the Camel K operator directly on the cluster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The declarative approach as well as the nature of Serverless applications make us rely on a given runtime infrastructure, and it is quite hard to run tests outside that infrastructure. 
So it is only natural to also move the verifying tests into this very same infrastructure. 
This is why YAKS brings your tests to the cloud infrastructure for integration and end-to-end testing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let us have a look at a sample Camel K integration. 
The integration provides a Http service and transforms incoming requests to messages sent to a Kafka topic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Camel K sample: http-to-kafka.groovy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-groovy highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;c1&quot;&gt;// expose a rest endpoint that routes transformed messages to Kafka&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;rest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;/greeting&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;route&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;transform&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;c1&quot;&gt;// any kind of transformation&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&quot;kafka:greetings&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once you have written the Camel route you are ready to run the Camel K integration source within the Kubernetes infrastructure. 
It is only natural to also move the verifying tests into this very same infrastructure because you can make use of the very same messaging transports, 
databases and services (internal and external) provided in that infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tests are able to simulate 3rd party services or other microservices that are part of the message processing logic. 
The BDD tests describe the given context, the events to occur and the expected outcome all in one single feature file. 
This declarative testing approach is a perfect match to the concept of operators and custom resources on Kubernetes that 
is being used in so many Cloud-native services these days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;how-does-it-work&quot;&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YAKS provides a Kubernetes operator and a set of CRDs (custom resources) that we need to install in the cluster. 
The best way to install YAKS is to use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://operatorhub.io/operator/yaks&quot;&gt;OperatorHub&lt;/a&gt; or the yaks CLI tools that you can download from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks/releases&quot;&gt;GitHub release pages&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the yaks-client binary simply run this install command:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;$ &lt;/span&gt;yaks &lt;span class=&quot;nb&quot;&gt;install&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This command prepares your Kubernetes cluster for running tests with YAKS. 
It will take care of installing the YAKS custom resource definitions, setting up role permissions and creating the YAKS operator in a global operator namespace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Important:&lt;/em&gt; You need to be a cluster admin to install custom resource definitions. 
The operation needs to be done only once for the entire cluster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now that the YAKS operator is up and running you can just start writing a Gherkin BDD feature file and run the test. 
YAKS brings a set of ready-to-use &lt;a href=&quot;https://cucumber.io/&quot;&gt;Cucumber steps&lt;/a&gt; that you can use in the feature files.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;File: http-to-kafka.feature&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-gherkin highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;Feature&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Http to Kafka

  &lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;Background&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Given URL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;http&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;//greeting-service-demo.svc&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Given &lt;/span&gt;Kafka connection
    &lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;|&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;url&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;|&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;kafka-bootstrap.server.svc:9092&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;|&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;topic&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;|&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;greetings&lt;/span&gt;                               &lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;
    
  &lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;Scenario&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Post greeting event
    &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Given HTTP request body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Hello&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;YAKS!&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;When &lt;/span&gt;send POST /greeting
    &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;Then &lt;/span&gt;receive HTTP 201 CREATED
    &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;And verify Kafka message with body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;Hello&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;YAKS!&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The feature above verifies the Camel K integration to send greeting events to a Kafka topic. 
The test calls the Camel K integration with a Http POST request. 
The request invokes the service and verifies the &lt;em&gt;Http 201 CREATED&lt;/em&gt; response code. 
Also, the test verifies the Kafka message on the &lt;em&gt;greeting topic&lt;/em&gt; and compares the message content to an expected template.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The whole test uses the ready-to-use YAKS steps for handling Http and Kafka communication. 
So the tester does not have to implement this messaging transport logic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can run the test with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;$ &lt;/span&gt;yaks run http-to-kafka.feature
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This creates a new test custom resource with the given BDD feature file. 
The YAKS operator automatically executes the test as a Pod on the cluster. 
You can review the test log output and see if the test passes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;$ &lt;/span&gt;yaks run greeting-http-to-kafka.feature

&lt;p&gt;You can also review the Pod test outcome with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nv&quot;&gt;$ &lt;/span&gt;kubectl get tests
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is an example output you should get:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;language-shell highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;NAME             PHASE
http-to-kafka    Passed
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, what happens behind the scenes when running this test on Kubernetes?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/img/assets/introducing-yaks/yaks-architecture.png&quot; alt=&quot;yaks-architecture.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;yaks&lt;/strong&gt; tool synchronizes your test code with a Kubernetes custom resource of Kind Test. 
The resource is named &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;http-to-kafka&lt;/code&gt; (after the file name) in the current namespace. 
So every time you run the test the custom resource is updated and executed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The YAKS operator is the component that makes all this possible by configuring all Kubernetes resources needed for running your tests. 
The test runtime uses Cucumber and Citrus to read the feature files and run the tests in a Java virtual machine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now let’s have a look at the predefined YAKS step implementations that you can use out of the box.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;yaks-test-steps&quot;&gt;YAKS test steps&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YAKS provides several ready-to-use &lt;a href=&quot;https://cucumber.io/&quot;&gt;Cucumber steps&lt;/a&gt; that you can just use in your feature files. 
These steps should help you to verify applications that exchange data over various messaging transports. 
Have a look at the predefined steps we have so far:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table&gt;
  &lt;thead&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;th&gt;Module&lt;/th&gt;
      &lt;th style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/thead&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;yaks-standard&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;Basic steps (e.g. for logging messages to the console, test delays, settings)&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;yaks-http&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;Call Http REST endpoints as a client and verify the response content. Provide a Http service that receives/verifies requests and simulates response messages.&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;yaks-openapi&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;Import OpenAPI specifications and use defined operations and test data to call Http REST endpoints&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The list of ready-to-use steps is constantly growing, and you can also write your own steps and use them in a YAKS test! 
Have a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/yaks/tree/master/examples&quot;&gt;examples&lt;/a&gt; to see all those steps in action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The steps provided in YAKS are implemented using the integration test framework &lt;a href=&quot;https://citrusframework.org/&quot;&gt;Citrus&lt;/a&gt;. 
This means that you can use features like functions, validation matchers and test variables in your test.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;demo&quot;&gt;Demo&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The following demo video shows an example of what you can do with YAKS. 
It has the YAKS operator already installed and invokes a system under test via Http verifying the response content. 
It continues to more complex scenarios where the test uses a Swagger OpenAPI specification for generating requests and test data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;whats-next&quot;&gt;What’s next&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is just the start of a new testing platform for BDD testing in Cloud-native environments!

This enables great opportunities and leverages the full enterprise integration power of Apache Camel in Citrus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before this post explains the enhancements in Citrus 3 regarding Camel let us have a brief look at what has always been in the box.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;recap-the-camel-support-in-citrus&quot;&gt;Recap the Camel support in Citrus&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Camel has been integrated with the Citrus framework for years. 
You can read about it in the official Citrus &lt;a href=&quot;https://citrusframework.org/citrus/reference/3.0.0/html/index.html#apache-camel&quot;&gt;user guide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With Camel included in the box Citrus users are able to use the 300+ Camel components in order to connect with various 
message transports and technologies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Citrus is able to interact with Camel in following areas&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/blob/main/src/manual/endpoint-camel.adoc#camel-route-actions&quot;&gt;Create/start/stop Camel routes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/blob/main/src/manual/endpoint-camel.adoc#camel-endpoint&quot;&gt;Send/receive data to/from Camel routes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/blob/main/src/manual/endpoint-component.adoc&quot;&gt;Use Camel endpoint URI to produce messages via Camel endpoint components&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/blob/main/src/manual/endpoint-camel.adoc#camel-controlbus-actions&quot;&gt;Access the Camel control bus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/citrusframework/citrus/blob/main/src/manual/endpoint-camel.adoc#camel-exception-handling&quot;&gt;Verify Camel exception handling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Usually Camel routes live in a Camel context defined in the Citrus project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Bean&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelContext&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelContext&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;context&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;DefaultCamelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;context&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;addRoutes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;RouteBuilder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Override&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;configure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;throws&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Exception&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;from&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;direct:hello&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;routeId&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;helloRoute&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;log:com.consol.citrus.camel?level=INFO&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;seda:greetings&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;});&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;context&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The context defines a Camel route listening on the endpoint uri &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;direct:hello&lt;/code&gt;.
Incoming messages will be logged to the console using a &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;log&lt;/code&gt; Camel component.
After that the message is forwarded to a &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;seda&lt;/code&gt; Camel component which is a simple queue in memory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Citrus endpoint can interact with this sample route definition sending messages to the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;direct:hello&lt;/code&gt; endpoint.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;camel:direct:hello&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Hello from Citrus!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Camel endpoint uri can refer to any Camel endpoint component.
See the list of available &lt;a href=&quot;https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/index.html&quot;&gt;Camel components&lt;/a&gt; in order to connect 
your route with message transports and technologies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As an alternative to sending messages directly to a Camel endpoint uri you can create a Citrus endpoint that interacts with a Camel route. 
The endpoint can be shared in multiple tests and defines several properties such as the endpoint uri that will be called.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Bean&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelEndpoint&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;helloCamelEndpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;k&quot;&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;CamelEndpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpointUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;direct:hello&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;build&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;();&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;helloCamelEndpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Hello from Citrus!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, you can also consume messages from a Camel route using the endpoint pattern.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;receive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;camel:seda:greetings&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;type&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MessageType&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;PLAINTEXT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Hello from Citrus!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Camel support in Citrus has been enhanced with Citrus 3. 
Read the following sections to find out about awesome new features and improvements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 id=&quot;whats-new-in-citrus-3&quot;&gt;What’s new in Citrus 3?&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;endpoint-dsl-support&quot;&gt;Endpoint DSL support&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since Camel 3 you can use a Java fluent API to deal with Camel endpoint URIs. 
You can use the Camel endpoint DSL in the Citrus send/receive actions now, too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;direct&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;hello&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;getUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Hello from Citrus!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;receive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;seda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;greetings&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;getUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;)
    .message()
    .type(MessageType.PLAINTEXT)
    .body(&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Hello&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;Citrus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The send and receive actions above use the Camel endpoint DSL to construct the proper endpoint URI.
The &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;camel().endpoint(seda(&quot;test&quot;)::getUri)&lt;/code&gt; builds the endpoint uri &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;seda:test&lt;/code&gt;.
The endpoint DSL provides all settings and properties that you can set for a Camel endpoint component.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;camel-processor-support&quot;&gt;Camel processor support&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Camel implements the concept of processors as enterprise integration pattern.
A processor is able to add custom logic to a Camel route.
Each processor is able to access the Camel exchange that is being processed in the current route.
The processor is able to change the message content (body, headers) as well as the exchange information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The send/receive operations in Citrus also implement the processor concept.
With the Citrus Camel support you can now use the very same Camel processor also in a Citrus test action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kn&quot;&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nn&quot;&gt;com.consol.citrus.camel.message.CamelMessageProcessor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;CamelMessageProcessorIT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestNGCitrusSpringSupport&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Autowired&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelContext&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Test&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusTest&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;shouldProcessMessages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelMessageProcessor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;Builder&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;toUppercase&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exchange&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;-&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exchange&lt;/span&gt;
                        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getMessage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;setBody&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exchange&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getMessage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getBody&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;toUpperCase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()));&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;$&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;seda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;test&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;getUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Citrus rocks!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;toUppercase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The example above uses a Camel processor to change the exchange and the message content before the message is sent to the endpoint.
This way you can apply custom changes to the message as part of the test action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;CamelMessageProcessorIT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestNGCitrusSpringSupport&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Autowired&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelContext&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Test&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusTest&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;shouldProcessMessages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelMessageProcessor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;Builder&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;toUppercase&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exchange&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;-&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exchange&lt;/span&gt;
                        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getMessage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;setBody&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;exchange&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getMessage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;getBody&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;toUpperCase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()));&lt;/span&gt;
        
        &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;$&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;seda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;test&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;getUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Citrus rocks!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;$&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;receive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;seda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;test&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;getUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;toUppercase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;type&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MessageType&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;PLAINTEXT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;CITRUS ROCKS!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Camel processors are very powerful.
In particular, you can apply transformations of multiple kind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;CamelTransformIT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestNGCitrusSpringSupport&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Autowired&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelContext&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Test&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusTest&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;shouldTransformMessageReceived&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;$&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;send&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;seda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;hello&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;getUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;{\&quot;message\&quot;: \&quot;Citrus rocks!\&quot;}&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

        &lt;span class=&quot;err&quot;&gt;$&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;receive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;().&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;endpoint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;seda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;hello&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;getUri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;transform&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;
                    &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;transform&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                        &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;jsonpath&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;$.message&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;message&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;type&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MessageType&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;PLAINTEXT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Citrus rocks!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The transform pattern is able to change the message content before a message is received/sent in Citrus.
The example above applies a JsonPath expression as part of the message processing.
The JsonPath expression evaluates &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;$.message&lt;/code&gt; on the Json payload and saves the result as new message body content.
The following message validation expects the plaintext value &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;Citrus rocks!&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The message processor is also able to apply a complete route logic as part of the test action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;language-java highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nc&quot;&gt;CamelRouteProcessorIT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;extends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;TestNGCitrusSpringSupport&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Autowired&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelContext&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@Test&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;@CitrusTest&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;kd&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;kt&quot;&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;nf&quot;&gt;shouldProcessRoute&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;CamelRouteProcessor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;Builder&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;beforeReceive&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;camelContext&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;route&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;route&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;-&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;route&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;choice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
                    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;jsonpath&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;$.greeting[?(@.language == 'EN')]&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;))&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the complete route logic you have the full power of Camel ready to be used in your send/receive test action.
This enables many capabilities as Camel implements the enterprise integration patterns such as split, choice, enrich and many more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;camel-data-format-support&quot;&gt;Camel data format support&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Camel uses the concept of data format to transform message content in form of marshal/unmarshal operations.
You can use the data formats supported in Camel in Citrus, too.&lt;/p&gt;

                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;type&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;n&quot;&gt;MessageType&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;PLAINTEXT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
                &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;na&quot;&gt;body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s&quot;&gt;&quot;Citrus rocks!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;o&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The example above uses the &lt;code class=&quot;highlighter-rouge&quot;&gt;base64&lt;/code&gt; data format provided in Camel to marshal/unmarshal the message content to/from a base64 encoded String.
Camel provides support for many data formats as you can see in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/dataformats/index.html&quot;&gt;documentation on data formats&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;wrap-up&quot;&gt;Wrap up!&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That completes the new features in Citrus 3 regarding Apache Camel.&lt;/p&gt;
