Unit testing RxJava code with multiple external calls

Here is some RxJava code that I want to test:



public void triggerCancelOrderJob() {
couchConnector()
.findAbandonedOpenOrders()
.flatMap(results -> results.rows())
.flatMap(
row ->
Observable.just(row)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.map(
s -> return s.value())
.flatMap(
orderId -> {
return RxReactiveStreams.toObservable(
serviceTokenCache
.get(OrderApiConstants.SERVICE_TOKEN_CACHE_KEY)
.flatMap(
issueToken -> {
return cancelOrderApiConnector()
.invokeAPI(
RequestInputModel.builder().build(),
RequestInputModel.RequestBodyModel.builder().build());
}));
}))
.subscribe(//additional code)


So what's happening is that I run an async CB query, get an Observable< AsyncN1qlQueryResult >, then for each row I call call two external services one after the another (first call to the serviceTokenCache and second call to the cancelOrderApiConnector). Each row runs in a separate IO thread.



Note: serviceTokenCache.get() and cancelOrderApiConnector().invokeAPI() return a Mono respectively.



I cannot figure out how to test this code. What all components need to be tested? Since each row will run in its separate thread, I cannot wrap my head around how to test such asynchronous code.

  • Mock the external calls using Mockito

  • Firstly, inject the schedulers instead of using Schedulers.io(). This will make it much easier to unit test. Secondly, mock or inject the code for the external calls. Also, you using the nested flatMap() incorrectly or redundantly -- it isn't doing what you think it is doing.
