Testing a service with mockito, ioC with autowiring

Question

I'm trying to test a service with Mockito and testNG, but i have a couple of doubts. It's necessary create get/set to inject service, if service is declaredd like this:

  @Autowired(required = true)
    protected ITipService serveiTip;

when I'm trying to clean and package with maven I found this exception:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'consultaDeutes' defined in URL
[file:/D:/workspaceGPT/GPT/gpt.ui/target/test-classes/applicationContext-gui-deutes-Test.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'serveiTip' of bean class [cat.base.gpt.ui.ConsultaDeutesTest]: Bean property 'serveiTip' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

I believe that with autowiring get/set will be not necessary.

this is my test-context:

Using @Autowired will make spring automatically inject a matching bean into that field. Thus it is no longer required to define the "consultaDeutes" bean in the xml. If you'd like to use the xml definition, I believe you should define a setter for each property that you are trying to inject, eg: serveiTip, serveiGpt.

Using @Autowired in your test might require 2 additional annotation on the definition of your test class:

@ContextConfiguration(value = "/myContext.xml")
//@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) This is JUnit specific
@ActiveProfiles("dev")
public class TestCompareService {
    @Autowired(required = true)
    protected ITipService serveiTip;
    ....
}

I actually made a mistake pasting the @RunWith annotation specific for JUnit. For TestNG you can lookup this link. Apologies

dou you think? but if need to user consultaDeutes i the web-flow? maybe i don't understand you. – ZaoTaoBao Sep 17 '13 at 07:48
If you need to have different stuff in your tests and pro code and keep the same xml file, you can always take advantage of profiles: http://java.dzone.com/articles/using-spring-profiles-xml. Define the "production" profile as default, and in your tests annotate the test class with @ActiveProfiles("dev") or whatever name you choose (I'm adding it to the original example as well) – Morfic Sep 17 '13 at 07:50
OK! you are right, in the context if I inject with autowiring i don't need to add property, i post the result end. – ZaoTaoBao Sep 17 '13 at 07:54
If still want to have different stuff between test and pro, and you don't mind creating multiple spring config xmls as your example would suggest (applicationContext-gui-deutes-Test.xml) you can chose the one you want for the current test with @ContextConfiguration(value = "/myContext.xml") – Morfic Sep 17 '13 at 07:58
