Spring MockMvc integration test not working and failing with errors like
1) When @ContextConfiguration( classes = { WebMvcConfig.class } ) getting error like
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext
.... ClassNotFoundException: javax.el.ELManager
2) Tried changing to @ContextConfiguration( classes = { AppInitializer.class } ) getting error like noHandlerFound WARNING: No mapping for request
The application is working fine , but the integration test is not working
The test doesn't need a servlet container as we are not parsing response.
1) Test class
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@ContextConfiguration( classes = { AppInitializer.class } )
public class ItemControllerTest {
@Autowired
private WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
@Before
public void setUp() {
mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(webApplicationContext)
.build();
}
@Test
public void findById() throws Exception {
mockMvc.perform(get("/"))
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andExpect(view().name("editItems"));
}
}
2) Configuration class
public class AppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
return new Class[] { };
}
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
return new Class[] { WebMvcConfig.class };
}
@Override
protected String[] getServletMappings() {
return new String[] { "/" };
}
}
3) Spring MVC configuration
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.inventory"})
public class WebMvcConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
@Bean
public InternalResourceViewResolver resolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return resolver;
}
@Bean
public MessageSource messageSource() {
ResourceBundleMessageSource source = new ResourceBundleMessageSource();
source.setBasename("messages");
return source;
}
@Override
public Validator getValidator() {
LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator = new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
validator.setValidationMessageSource(messageSource());
return validator;
}
}
4) Controller class
@Controller
public class ItemController {
@Autowired
private ItemService itemService;
@GetMapping("/")
public String itemEntryForm(Locale locale, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("items", itemService.list());
return "editItems";
}
@ModelAttribute("item")
public Item formBackingObject() {
return new Item();
}
}
