HOW TO?

Run Unit / Integration Tests

$ ./mvnw verify

Format code

$ ./mvnw spotless:apply // to formatting code automatically
$ ./mvnw spotless:check // to verify the code formatting

Run application locally

If you want to start the required services (database, mail server) using docker-compose and run the application locally:

$ ./run.sh start_infra
$ ./mvnw -pl techbuzz spring-boot:run

Instead, you can simply run ./mvnw -pl techbuzz spring-boot:test-run which will automatically spin up the required services as docker containers using Testcontainers and starts the application.

Run application using docker-compose

$ ./run.sh start

• App: http://localhost:8080/
• MailHog: http://localhost:8025/

Run PlayWright E2E Tests

Make sure the application is running and configure correct values in src/test/resources/config.json file.

$ ./mvnw -pl e2e-tests test -DskipTests=false

Run Gatling Tests

$ ./mvnw -pl gatling-tests gatling:test 

Using Taskfile for running various tasks

Task is a CLI utility to automate running common tasks.

$ task format
$ task test
$ task build_image
$ task start_infra
$ task stop_infra
$ task start
$ task stop_infra
$ task restart
