Unit testing CDI with CDI-Unit Jglue

Question

we want to use Jglue framework for unit testing our CDI application. We use gradle for building.

We have prepared something like this:

1) Class to test:

@Default
public class RateTypeHibernateFactory implements RateTypeFactory {

@Override
public RateType getInstance(String name, String description) {
    RateType rateType = getInstance();
    rateType.setName(name);
    rateType.setDescription(description);
    return rateType;
}

}

2) Interface:

public interface RateTypeFactory {

public RateType getInstance(String name, String description);

}

3) Gradle settings (we followed getting started http://jglue.org/cdi-unit/ )

dependencies {

     testCompile (group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.8.2')
     testCompile (group: 'org.jglue.cdi-unit', name: 'cdi-unit', version: '2.2.0')

}

4) Test class:

@RunWith(CdiRunner.class)
public class RateTypeFactoryTest {

@Inject RateTypeFactory rateTypeFactory;

@Test
public void testGetInstance() {
    RateType rateType = rateTypeFactory.getInstance();
    assertNotNull(rateType);
}

}

When we run this simple test, we always get this exception:

com.etnetera.projects.ticketing.model.factory.RateTypeFactoryTest > testGetInstance FAILED
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

1 test completed, 1 failed
:test FAILED

In /build/reports/tests/index.html there is:

Please does anybody know how to avoid this exception? I can add some more details if needed.

Answer 1

This is usually caused by an unsupported version of weld being used. However, I have just released CDI-Unit 2.2.1 which fixes a couple of issues with Gradle builds. Please can you give it a go?

Answer 2

It seems you are invoking a method on the interface without the parameters. Instead of RateType rateType = rateTypeFactory.getInstance(); you should probably call RateType rateType = rateTypeFactory.getInstance("name", "description");

Maybe I missed something gradle-related?

Answer 3

I have encountered a similar problem (with an error message a bit different). I googled a lot around this problem but did not found much about this, so I concluded that it was specific to my project. This lead me to suspect a version mismatch between the dependencies of the project.

I was using weld-servlet: 2.4.0.Final as a compile dependency and cdi-unit: 3.1.4 as a test dependency. And I noticed that cdi-unit had a dependency on weld-se-core: 2.3.2.Final . So I added weld-se-core to my dependency management with the same version as my weld-servlet artifact and it solved the problem.

For further reference, here is an extract of my pom.xml file

<properties>
    <weld.version>2.4.0.Final</weld.version>
    <cdi-unit.version>3.1.4</cdi-unit.version>
    (...)
