Mock MongoDB when unit testing services with Spring Boot

gistfile1.txt

If you are using Spring Boot with MongoDB, then a MongoDB connection is required even if you are unit testing a function. 
Spring creates a connection to mongoDB during start up, because of Autowired beans in your code. This slows down your unit tests, and 
also means your unit tests require access to the MongoDB server.

Here is what you need to do:
1. Mock the beans created by org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.mongo.MongoDataAutoConfiguration:
    @Bean
    public MongoDbFactory mongoDbFactory(){
        return null;
    }

    @Bean
    public MongoTemplate mongoTemplate(){
        return null;
    }

    @Bean
    public MappingMongoConverter mappingMongoConverter(){
        return null;
    }

    @Bean
    public MongoMappingContext mongoMappingContext(){
        return null;
    }

    @Bean
    public GridFsTemplate gridFsTemplate(){
        return null;
    }
    
2. If you have the MongoHealthCheckIndicator running (you probably have that), then you need to disable it for the test profile:
management.health.mongo.enabled: false

can you share the full autoconfiguration mock class you created? or a more functional example? this seems great but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Thanks!
