Hi all, hope you’re having a great day! I have a test as follows:

@SpringBootTest(classes = [TestConfig::class])
class OrderTests: OtherClass {
    val orders = listOf<Order>() //this is just a representation - it's actually part of OtherClass
    
    @Import(Application::class)
    class TestConfig {
        // I'd like to pass it in here
        @Bean
        fun orderRepository() = FakeOrderRepository(orders)
    }

    @Test
    fun `works now`() {
        println("yay")
    }
}

I have a Spring test where I’m replacing a bean. However, I’d like to supply a specific parameter (

orders

) when creating the bean. The problem is that

orders

is part of another class that is implemented by `OrderTests`:

OtherClass

. I played around with it and can’t think about a way of how I could pass that into the bean. The problem is that it’s quite crucial and that there’s no way to change the way the

orders

are set up in

OtherClass

. The easiest (from a vanilla point of view) would be to mark

TestConfig

as

inner class

, but that’s not compatible with Spring. Do you have an idea? Thanks in advance! 👋

1. add a function

FakeOrderRepository.setOrders(orders: List<Order>)

so the orders can be modified per test, instead of upon initialisation. 2. autowire the bean into the test class, so it’s available as a property 3. in a

@BeforeEach

function set the orders using

orderRepository.setOrders(orders)

Just a suggestion - there might be a better way
