gmongo | A Groovy wrapper to the mongodb Java driver

I have a strange issue. Our project has been up and running for 6 years now and some package upgrades were long overdue. App backend is written in Java 8, tests in Java and Groovy and frontend in AngularJS 1.5

App consists of 7 modules and whole project structure and build process is setup through gradle build files.

In the process of updating libraries versions biggest one was mongodb upgrade from 4.0 and spring upgrade to 5.1.3 and spring_boot version from 1.2.6 to 2.1.1.

I know, quite a few major upgrades and thanks to the all the tests we had I managed to change all our code to comply with the changes in new versions of the libraries. All tests are passing. Build of almost all the modules is working like a charm. Except for a module that consists of Groovy test classes. All the tests, when I run them from IntelliJ are passing, there are no compile or build errors.

But when I try running gradle build the task testCompileGroovy fails because the import in one of the abstract test specification classes can't be resolved. And it's the import of the main Application class that's needed for classes parameter of @SpringBootTest annotation.

Here is the libraries.gradle file with all libraries that we depend on defined...

I am new and this is probably a very basic question, but I didn't find a good sample that works for me. In JMeter 3.3 I set JSR223 Sampler to query several parameters in mongo db. I succeeded to connect to mongo and do a count on collection, now I need to query by _id. I later on need to count number of elements in array. So far even find by id didn't work. Working part:

I want to use authentication in my mongodb. So I created a user. Which this user I can connect on command line and insert data without any problem.

But when I want to use this user in grails, I get this error:

If you want to make an gmongo connection alive for an entire test suite and then close it in a tear down operation after the entire test suite is executed then, How could we do that?

Currently what am I doing is, I am creating an connection for an particular test step and then after the test step is executed, I close the connection by using the code mongoClient.close()

But now there is a requirement where I need to create the connection before the test suite starts executing, use the same connection throughout the test suite inside the test cases/test steps and then close the connection the connection after the entire test suite gets executed.

Could anyone please tell me how could I do this using Ready!API?

I may sound retard cause I am new to Ready API so please bear with me This is the code that I use to create an Connection to mongo

My project was build on GMONGO framework and all the domains were created with attribute id as a string.So grail frame work will create mongodb collections with _id attribute when application is app. In UI there was a limitation to retrive _id.So in service "_id" is rewrite to "id" to overcome the issue. Could we created collections with "id" by default rather than "_id"?
