Testing for Spring MVC framework

Question

I am attempting the testing for a sample spring project : https://github.com/cloudfoundry-samples/spring-music When I try invoking the controller classes for testing purpose I get the below error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext

Below is my JUnit test class :

@Category(IntegrationTest.class)

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

@WebAppConfiguration

@ContextConfiguration(classes = 
{WebMvcConfig.class,SpringApplicationContextInitializer.class})

public class EndPointsTesting {

@Autowired

    private WebApplicationContext wac;  

    @Autowired 

    private AlbumRepository albumRepository;

    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).build();             
    }


    @Test
    public void testEndPoints() throws Exception
    {
        this.mockMvc.perform(get("/albums"))
        .andExpect(status().isOk())
        .andExpect( content().contentType(org.springframework.http.MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
        .andExpect(content().string("[{\"_class\": \"org.cloudfoundry.samples.music.domain.Album\",\"artist\": \"Test123\",\"title\": \"Test Title\",\"releaseYear\": \"2015\",\"genre\": \"Rock\"    },{\"_class\": \"org.cloudfoundry.samples.music.domain.Album\",\"artist\": \"Test456\",\"title\": \"Test Title\",\"releaseYear\": \"2015\",\"genre\": \"Blues\"   }]"));
    }

}

Is there something wrong in the way I am attempting the integration test? Can someone help?

Where is your AlbumRepository bean? The error message pretty much tells you what the problem is. Also, if you cut of the stack trace it's hard to tell... — Daniele Torino, Aug 27 '15 at 09:23
Album Repository definition : public interface AlbumRepository extends CrudRepository { } — SilentCoder, Aug 27 '15 at 10:41
You probably need to set an `@ComponentScan` or `@EnableJpaRepositories` to tell spring where to find your repositories. I suggest you make a TestConfiguration class where you put annotations and beans that you need for your test. Then add that class to the classes of `@ContextConfiguration`. — Daniele Torino, Aug 27 '15 at 12:15
