Spring junit test not working

Question

I've got a Spring (4.2.5) project with Java configuration classes. These work when running the project normally, but I can't get my tests to work. In the test below the repo is null.

@ContextConfiguration(classes = { HibernateConfiguration.class })
public class TestTest {

    @Autowired
    private InstituteRepository repo;

    //some test
}

If I add the @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) annotation i get an exception

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotatedElementUtils.findMergedAnnotationAttributes(Ljava/lang/reflect/AnnotatedElement;Ljava/lang/String;ZZ)Lorg/springframework/core/annotation/AnnotationAttributes;

Any help is appreciated.

[EDIT]

If I change the springframework dependecy version to 4.1.3, the test works. Do I need different configuration for 4.2.5? The HibernateConfiguration is the following

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "myapp.services" })
@EnableJpaRepositories("myapp.repositories")
@Import({ HSQLConfiguration.class, MySQLConfiguration.class })
public class HibernateConfiguration {
}

Where the DataSource and Properties are defined in both HSQLConfiguration and MySQLConfiguration , which is selected based on active profile.

[EDIT 2]

After more googling I found this issue , and after checking my dependencies it appeared I had spring-core-4.1.9 under the maven dependencies and I hadn't included a dependency it in my POM. After adding the dependency I see the jar under the maven dependencies, but I get a build-path error:

Project 'myapp' is missing required library: 'C:\Users\user\.m2\repository\org\springframework\spring-core\4.1.9.RELEASE\spring-core-4.1.9.RELEASE.jar' 

This is my POM file

    <hsqldb.version>2.3.2</hsqldb.version>
</properties>

[EDIT 3]

The build path problem seems to be Eclipse related, running from command line the test works!

Answer 1

Try to use @Runwith annotation:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = { HibernateConfiguration.class })
public class TestTest {

    @Autowired
    private InstituteRepository repo;

    //some test
}

Answer 2

如果问题仅在eclipse上，则可以通过以下方法解决：Project-> Clean右键单击项目：Maven-> Update依赖项
