| description | Use when you need to write or improve integration tests for Micronaut — @MicronautTest, HttpClient, TestPropertyProvider with Testcontainers, transactional test mode where appropriate, and Maven Surefire/Failsafe splits for *Test, *Tests, *IT, and *AT. This should trigger for requests such as Add Micronaut integration tests with Testcontainers; Wire dynamic datasource or broker URLs for @MicronautTest; Write @MicronautTest integration tests with Testcontainers; Configure replacement beans for Micronaut integration tests; Review Micronaut integration test lifecycle and resources.

Micronaut Integration Testing
Prove real wiring in Micronaut with containers and HTTP.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Scope: contracts and boundaries, not duplicated unit-test logic
- TestPropertyProvider + static @Container for JDBC/Kafka properties
- HttpClient full-stack HTTP assertions
- @MicronautTest(transactional = true) for rollback where supported
- Shared containers per class; pinned image tags
- Maven Surefire/Failsafe: *Test / *Tests vs *IT / *AT; explicit plugin includes and excludes
Scope: Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad code examples.
Constraints
Before applying any integration test changes, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately. After applying improvements, run full verification.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change
- PREREQUISITE: Project must compile successfully and pass basic validation checks before any test refactoring
- CRITICAL SAFETY: If compilation fails, IMMEDIATELY STOP and DO NOT CONTINUE with any recommendations
- BLOCKING CONDITION: Compilation errors must be resolved by the user before proceeding with integration test changes
- NO EXCEPTIONS: Under no circumstances should testing recommendations be applied to a project that fails to compile
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvements
- BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples
When to use this skill
- Add Micronaut integration tests with Testcontainers
- Wire dynamic datasource or broker URLs for @MicronautTest
- Write @MicronautTest integration tests with Testcontainers
- Configure replacement beans for Micronaut integration tests
- Review Micronaut integration test lifecycle and resources
Workflow
- Read reference and assess project context
Read references/522-frameworks-micronaut-testing-integration-tests.md and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes.
- Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
Implement or refactor configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions.
- Run verification and report results
Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
