Add ability to configure read/connect timeouts for TestRestTemplate [SPR-17112]

[spring-projects-issues]

Igor Manushin opened SPR-17112 and commented

This jira is for TestRestTemplate class.

It is unable to simple set readTimeout/connectTimeout of it, so it is not simple to verify long-running rest services.

Possible solutions:

• Add new property into configuration (for example - org.spring.boot.test.rest.template.default.read.timeout = ...)
• Add ability to specify read timeout for calls (for example - add ability to override getForEntity)
• Add ability to specify read/connect timeouts for the RestTemplate

Matched question on the stackoverflow (for rest template): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13837012/spring-resttemplate-timeout

TestRestTemplate is part of Spring Boot and this tracker doesn't manage Spring Boot issues as it has a dedicated issue tracker.

That said, there is already support for this in the very question you've linked. If you configure a RestTemplateBuilder, it will be used to build the TestRestTemplate. If you have more questions, please ask on StackOverflow.

The capability exists:

RestTemplateBuilder builder = new RestTemplateBuilder().setReadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(5));
TestRestTemplate testRestTemplate = new TestRestTemplate(builder);

I presume you are aware of this since there are many answers in the SO thread. So you need to explain better what you mean by not simple. The above is reasonably simple.
