failed to Inject Activiti framework services in my Spring webapp

Question

I'm trying to create a workflow in my web application using the frameworks Activiti and Spring MVC, so I have to Inject Activiti Services by the applicationContext.xml file and then autowire these services.

and this is the problem in the consol after a JUnit Test

GRAVE: Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener@14c8743] to prepare test instance [tds_erp.testSpring@144719c] org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tds_erp.testSpring': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: org.activiti.engine.RepositoryService tds_erp.testSpring.repositoryService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.activiti.engine.RepositoryService] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

help me please !

Answer 1

It looks like you want to use beans defined in applicatioContext.xml like repositoryService etc in your test case. But all you are declaring in the @ContextConfiguration is the activiti's default config file activiti.cfg.xml Can you try the below in your test:

@ContextConfiguration("classpath:applicatioContext.xml")

Just a suggestion: it may be a good idea to create a separate applicatioContext.xml for test context similar to the one in webapplicationContext. This will help keep a different data etc where you can manage pre/post conditions of data better than your normal development DB instance. You may even want to spawn a DB instance for the test itself and tear down after the test.

Edits: You can give multiple conf files like this - @ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:applicatioContext.xml" , "classpath*:activiti.cfg.xml"}). check this post.

generally defining "<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration">" should load the activiti.cfg.xml internally unless you have changed its default location.
