@UseKafkaClient is not working with TestSuite

I’m using zerocode-tdd version of 1.3.8. When I write individual test classes with customized kafka client like below

@UseKafkaClient(CustomKafkaClient.class)
public class TestClass {
    @Test
    @JsonTestCase("scenarioJsons/json1.json")
    public void testMethod1() throws Exception {
    }

 }

My CustomKafkaClient.class is loaded and everything works fine.

When I try to run the Json tests through TestSuite like below

@TargetEnv("properties/server.properties")
@TestPackageRoot("scenarioJsons")
@EnvProperty("_${env}")
@RunWith(ZeroCodePackageRunner.class)
@UseKafkaClient(CustomKafkaClient.class)
public class SmokeTestSuite {}

Though I annotated test suite class with @UseKafkaClient(CustomKafkaClient.class), BasicKafkaClient.class from org.jsmart.zerocode.core.kafka.client is loaded instead of CustomKafkaClient.class due to that my Kafka consumers are failing.

Can anyone help me to load the customized CustomKafkaClient.class in test suite scenario ?

The Point is, Messages we pushed and received from Kafka topic is encrypted. The Encryption and decryption mechanisms are company specific. So Whatever message we push should be encrypted and vice versa. so before assertion we need to convert the encrypted message into a proper one and do assert. So we use CustomKafkaClient in the middle to do encrypt / decrypt messages.

This s not urgent to me. use case is I’m preparing TestSuite,I want to add customized kafka client to send and receive messages from topic. Problem is, with @TestPackageRoot(“scenarioJsons”) my customized kafka client is not working. Test suite took default BasicKafkaClient.class.

Scenario,

1. Create Test Suite like below @TargetEnv(“properties/server.properties”) @TestPackageRoot(“scenarioJsons”) @EnvProperty(“_${env}”) @RunWith(ZeroCodePackageRunner.class) @UseKafkaClient(CustomKafkaClient.class) public class SmokeTestSuite {}

2. add Customized kafka client by @UseKafkaClient(CustomKafkaClient.class)

3. if start your test suite, BasicKafkaClient.class is used to send and receive messages instead of picking my Customized one.
