Hi I had this same issue too when I started looking into unit testing in camel. The mocks in camel aren’t really like mocks that comes with libraries such as Mockito. Those mocks actually replace the interface in which it mocks. Whereas the mocks in camel act more like proxies to the endpoints. Since they are proxies, they can optionally choose to skip the endpoint for which it is proxying.
So in order to do what you want in your criteria. 1. Load up your camel routes you wish to test. 2. Tell camel which endpoint you want to mock, this varies depending on which test method you want to use. CamelSpringTestSupport uses inheritance whereas the Camel enhanced sprint test uses annotations. Both has some way of accepting a uri pattern to tell it which endpoints you want to mock. 3. At the same time you do step 2, you normally specify whether to optionally skip the endpoint it is mocking. In your case, you want it to skip. 4. Inject the MockEndpoint into your unit test, I think there are various ways I used @EndpointInject and then set expectations on them. Since you’re skipping the endpoints, you should mock the output as well especially if your original endpoint actually had output. Now execute your route using a ProducerTemplate and then finally verify that your MockEndpoints received what you expected.
