kafka-junit

This library wraps Apache Kafka's KafkaServerStartable class and allows you to easily create and run tests against one or more "real" kafka brokers. No longer do you need to setup and coordinate with an external kafka cluster for your tests! The library transparently supports running a single or multi-broker cluster. Running a multi-broker cluster allows you to validate how your software reacts under various error scenarios, such as when one or more brokers become unavailable.

Features

• Support for JUnit 4 and JUnit 5.
• Support for all Kafka versions from 0.11.0.x through 2.6.x
• Support for running either single broker cluster, or multi-broker clusters.
• Support for PLAINTEXT, SASL_PLAINTEXT, SASL_SSL, and SSL listeners.

Using Kafka-JUnit with JUnit 4.

Please review Kafka-JUnit4 Readme for usage instructions with JUnit4.

Using Kafka-JUnit with JUnit 5.

Please review Kafka-JUnit5 Readme for usage instructions with JUnit5.

Using Kafka-JUnit-Core.

For use cases where you want to embed Kafka broker/cluster within your existing software, you can make use of the core package directly. Please review Kafka-JUnit-Core Readme for usage instructions.
