Citrus Link

This feature enhances Citrus’s ability to test modern microservices architectures that rely heavily on event-driven messaging (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) rather than synchronous HTTP requests. Feature Proposal: Asynchronous Event-Driven Validation

in your current tests (e.g., flakiness, hard to match responses, long test times)? Features - Citrus Framework Citrus

This feature directly addresses the challenges of testing modern, microservices-based, event-driven applications, making integration testing more robust and easier to write. This feature enhances Citrus’s ability to test modern

Feature: Asynchronous Order Processing Scenario: Customer places an order and receives confirmation Given I have a Kafka endpoint "orderInput" When I send a "CreateOrder" message Then I expect a "OrderValidated" message on "kafka.output" within 5 seconds And I expect a "EmailSent" message on "smtp.mock" within 10 seconds Use code with caution. To simplify the testing of complex, asynchronous, multi-step

Create a new AsyncContainer in the Java DSL to wrap the receive() actions.

Update the citrus-cucumber module to recognize these new step definitions.

To simplify the testing of complex, asynchronous, multi-step messaging flows where the order of messages is not guaranteed, and the response happens via a different channel than the request. 2. Key Components to Develop:
