ey guys, I’m trying to define a clean arch for testing in my Ktor + Exposed + Hikari project. Do you know if there is any good approach for unit testing those methods that define a transaction?

[Jonathan Mew]

Sounds like a similar stack to what we are using - what specific problem(s) are you facing?
We use JUnit for unit tests and component tests (Guice for injection to configure test environments and Ktor's withTestApplication) and cypress for e2e.

I also want to unit test the layer with the transaction

[Jorge R]

so finally I’ve managed by defining an interface for DbProvider and injecting with Koin the testing dbprovider so I dont need to use dbTransaction

[Jorge R]

I can still use dbQuery {} block in my controller layer

[Jorge R]

If anyone is interested I can explain my solution

[Jonathan Mew]

sounds like you have found a strategy that works for your architecture 🙂

[Jorge R]

yep

thanks!

it is a bit messy with all the function extensions in Ktor structure 😄
