I have a Spring application (3.2.4.RELEASE) which I'm trying to set up some JUnit(4.12) tests. The scenario I'm having is as follows:
I have a parent class which contains two properties with their getters and setters, and several child classes inheriting from this class. The idea is that I want to optionally be able to set these values in the pom.xml, and if not, resort to the default value returned by the base class. The code looks like the following:
Parent class:
@Setter
public class NetworkFactoryMockTest
{
private String imei;
private String imsi;
public String getImei()
{
return StringUtils.defaultIfEmpty(imei, "11111");
}
public String getImsi()
{
return StringUtils.defaultIfEmpty(imsi, "22222");
}
}
Child class:
public class CrmManagerTest extends NetworkFactoryMockTest implements CrmManager
{
...
}
pom.xml:
<bean id="crmManager"
class="com.foo.CrmManagerTest">
<property name="imsi" value="33333" />
</bean>
JUnit class:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("classpath:/service-context-debug.xml")
@Getter @Setter
public class DiscoveryServiceAbstractTest
{
@Autowired
protected ApplicationContext testApplicationContext;
@Test
public void testContextShouldBeProvided()
{
assertNotNull("Application context must be provided", testApplicationContext);
}
}
I am using lombok to auto-generate the getters and setters, so that is definitely not the issue here.
The thing is that when I run the application as Java application (SpringBoot), it works perfectly, setting all the values as they should.
However when I run the JUnit class, I'm getting the following error:
1 [main] ERROR org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager - Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.test.context.web.ServletTestExecutionListener@7caff0c4] to prepare test instance [com.foo.network.DiscoveryServiceAbstractTest@2e813d0] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext at org.springframework.test.context.CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate.loadContext(CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate.java:99) at org.springframework.test.context.TestContext.getApplicationContext(TestContext.java:122) at org.springframework.test.context.web.ServletTestExecutionListener.setUpRequestContextIfNecessary(ServletTestExecutionListener.java:105) at org.springframework.test.context.web.ServletTestExecutionListener.prepareTestInstance(ServletTestExecutionListener.java:74) at org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager.prepareTestInstance(TestContextManager.java:312) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.createTest(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:211) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner$1.runReflectiveCall(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:288) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.methodBlock(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:284) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:231) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:88) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:290) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:71) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:288) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:58) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:268) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.statements.RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks.evaluate(RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks.java:61) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.statements.RunAfterTestClassCallbacks.evaluate(RunAfterTestClassCallbacks.java:71) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:363) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.run(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:174) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:86) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:459) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:678) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:382) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:192) Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'networkFactory': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.foo.network.crm.CrmManager com.foo.network.NetworkFactoryTest.crmManager; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'crmManager' defined in class path resource [service-context-debug.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'imsi' of bean class [com.foo.network.crm.CrmManagerTest]: Bean property 'imsi' is not writable or has an invalid setter method.

A small peak into Spring internal led me to conclude that when the application is run as Java app, the setters and getters are being added as methods for the child bean, and they are used to inject the value later. However when run as JUnit test, this does not seem to happen.
Anyone has an idea what the error might be?
EDIT: After more testing I found out that the problem is not in the parent class. Even if I add the properties (imei and imsi) directly in the child class (CrmManagerTest) with explicit getters and setters and remove the extends notation, I still have the same error. Seems like spring is unable/unwilling to autowire the properties for this class. Anyone could help me figure this out?
