Micronaut Equivalent of Spring's WebTestClient (e.g.: HttpTestClient)

[driverpt]

Feature description

Projects with codebases in Spring WebFlux typically use WebTestClient which provides a Fluent API for Integration Testing.

Is it possible to have something with similar API in Micronaut?

Thanks

it seems like there are multiple options that fill this space already without needing a new API (restassured, gru etc.)

[driverpt]

Agree, but if you have a lot of tests (and i mean a lot) it's kind of hard to migrate to these new API's.

Also, which one of those Frameworks do you recommend?

rest assured seems like a good bet @sdelamo wrote a guide (not yet merged on that) https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-guides/pull/900

[graemerocher]

Gru seems like a better bet if you are a Spock user

@sdelamo, do you have an example of how to use REST-assured with kotest?

I don't.

What if I want to test only rest api part of my service without persistence? Or without rabbit?

You can write a test without persistence or security. Disable persistence in your test.
