Setting the context for unit testing

[marquis.t...@gmail.com]

I have a gRPC service that reads values from the context.  While unit testing how do I set the value of the context being used in java?

My current setup that does not work is using GrpcServerRule().directExecutor().  In the @Before method I update the context via 

Context.current().withValue("key", "value")).apply();

The server returned doesnt seems to be using this context because I guess this inst the correct thread scope to attach it to.  Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

If you are doing an end to end test that involves setting up an in process server as you are doing with GrpcServerRule, I would recommend just creating the context normally (most likely based on the initial metadata). If you want to unit test the server handler in isolation, then you probably don't want to use GrpcServerRule and instead want to call your handler directly with the context attached.

Do you have a junit test Timeout? If you have timeout, then you can not attach a context in set up, because with timeout, the test method runs in a different thread the @Before method.
