Lets say I have a ControllerService that loads some data into memory, and lets 
say that is happening during OnEnabled.  If I want to test this behavior using 
the NiFi Mock TestRunner, do I need to explicitly call 
"enableControllerService" to cause the "@OnEnabled" method on my 
ControllerService to be called?


Looking at StandardSSLContextService [1] this appears to be the case.  I was 
not aware of this requirement, and wanted to make sure I understood it.


Is this part of allowing full life cycle support for controller services and 
NIFI-250?  Any reason to not automatically enable controller services during 
mock testing?  Or is the thinking that explicitly calling it allows you finer 
grained testing of difference scenarios.


Thanks!
