Spring MVC Controller Test Case not working

Question

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes=BaseTestConfig.class)
@WebAppConfiguration

public class BookDetailsControllerTestCase {

private MockMvc mockMvc;

@Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;

/**
 * 
 */
private BookDetailsController fixture = new BookDetailsController();


public BookDetailsController getFixture() {
    return fixture;
}

public void setFixture(BookDetailsController fixture) {
    this.fixture = fixture;
}

/**
 * @throws java.lang.Exception
 */
@BeforeClass
public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
}

/**
 * @throws java.lang.Exception
 */
@AfterClass
public static void tearDownAfterClass() throws Exception {
}

/**
 * @throws java.lang.Exception
 */
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).build();
}

/**
 * @throws java.lang.Exception
 */
@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
}

@Test
public void testGetBookDetails() {
    fail("Not yet implemented");
}

}

This is my test case for the getBookDetails method of the Book Details Controller. However, I am getting the following error trace.

   Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener    [org.springframework.test.context.web.ServletTestExecutionListener@58e34201] to prepare test instance [com.sapestore.controller.test.BookDetailsControllerTestCase@30027d3e]

This is my folder structure

/webapp/WEb_INF/application-context.xml

/src/test/resources/test-application-context.xml

package com.sapestore.controller.test;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan("com.sapestore")
@EnableWebMvc
public class BaseTestConfig {

@Bean
public InternalResourceViewResolver setupViewResolver() {
    InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
    resolver.setPrefix("/");
    resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
    return resolver;
}

 }

This is the BaseTestConfig.java file

Please help me run the test case!

Answer 1

The stacktrace says that spring trys to instantiate an accountService. This service seems to be an dependency for your AccountController. But spring don't find anything that cann be bound to this dependency in your controller. Have you anntotated your service correctly so spring can identify the class as spring bean (for more information read the reference: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/beans.html#beans-stereotype-annotations ).

If the service is annotated correctly and it's still not working, can you provide some code from your controller and your service?
