How do I mock an Amazon SQS endpoint when testing a Camel application

Question

I am writing a Spring Boot application that uses Camel to listen to an SQS queue. Route definition:

from("aws-sqs://my-s3-notification-queue" +
    "?amazonSQSClient=#sqsClient" +
    "&deleteAfterRead=false")
    .unmarshal().json(JsonLibrary.Jackson, S3EventNotification.class)
    .bean(s3NotificationHandler);

sqsClient is defined as a @Bean in a @Configuration file.

When running tests, I would like to mock the SQS endpoint so that I don't actually connect to AWS. How do I do this? I've tried writing my tests like

@RunWith(CamelSpringBootRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@MockEndpoints
public class ApplicationTests {

    @Test
    public void contextLoads() {
    }

}

This should work if I'm reading the docs correctly, but it still tries to connect to AWS. What am I missing?

You can use Localstack using this you can mock multiple AWS service from your local system, without connecting AWS.
