Provides patterns for unit testing Spring application events. Validates event publishing with ApplicationEventPublisher, tests @EventListener annotation behavior, and verifies async event handling. Use when writing tests for event listeners, mocking application events, or verifying events were published in your Spring Boot services.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Unit Testing Application Events

## Overview

Provides actionable patterns for testing Spring `ApplicationEvent` publishers and `@EventListener` consumers using JUnit 5 and Mockito — without booting the full Spring context.

## When to Use

- Writing unit tests for event publishers or listeners
- Verifying that an event was published with correct payload
- Testing `@EventListener` method invocation and side effects
- Testing event propagation through multiple listeners
- Validating async event handling (`@Async` + `@EventListener`)
- Mocking `ApplicationEventPublisher` in service tests

## Instructions

1. **Add test dependencies**: `spring-boot-starter`, JUnit 5, Mockito, AssertJ
2. **Mock ApplicationEventPublisher**: use `@Mock` on the publisher field in the service under test
3. **Capture events with ArgumentCaptor**: `ArgumentCaptor.forClass(EventType.class)` to inspect published payload
4. **Verify listener side effects**: invoke listener directly against mocked dependencies
5. **Test async handlers**: use `Thread.sleep()` or Awaitility — then assert the async operation was called
6. **Add validation checkpoints**:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/unit-test-application-events@sha256:aab533a352d0fadb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.a02e282, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
