Integrate Wiremock into Spring Boot Java Web Application for Mocking External Dependencies

Introduction WireMock is a mock server for HTTP-based APIs. Some might consider it a service virtualization tool or a mock server. It enables you to stub out an API or other external dependency you depend on to expedite local development. It supports testing of edge cases and failure modes that the real API won't reliably produce. It also is useful in mocking out external dependencies in unit and integration tests. It has excellent integration with jUnit. Add Wiremock Dependency First you will want to add the Wiremock dependency. You can download the regular dependency or the fat JAR stand-alone version that contains all it's dependencies. We will be using the standard dependency here. Add the following dependency to your build.gradle build.gradle dependencies { testCompile('com.github.tomakehurst:wiremock:2.1.12') } Add Wiremock Unit test Here is the complete unit test that you can use for testing your integration with Wiremock. This unit te

How to Suppress FindBugs Warnings using Annotations in a  +Spring  Boot and +Java  Application If your build is breaking because of a FindBugs issue and it is a false-positive or you are unable to resolve the issue because of other considerations, you can add an Annotation to ignore the Findbugs warning. Update your Gradle Dependencies You will want to add the following compile time dependency to your build.gradle file. compile group: 'findbugs', name: 'findbugs', version: '1.0.0' dependencies { compile group : 'findbugs' , name : 'findbugs' , version : '1.0.0' } Get the Findbugs Issue ID You will need a specific ALL_CAPS identifier so that FindBugs knows what bug to ignore. Locate the FindBugs Report In your build message, you will see a link to the findbugs report: file:///Users/canata/IdeaProjects/projectname/build/reports/findbugs/main.html You can also find the report in your buil
