Grails java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/mock/web/MockHttpServletRequest

Question

In my Bootstrap groovy I register a simple timer job to execute things in regular intervals. This timer then calls a function in a different service. Code of the function is below:

 def syncForReminderSms() {
        try {

            def settings = GeneralSetting.findAll([cache: true])[0];
            Integer daysToSync = settings.reminderSmsScanTimeInDays;

            def results = PatientenTermin.withCriteria {
                def now = new Date()
                and {
                    eq('reminderSmsSent', false)
                    between('startzeit', now, now + daysToSync)
                }
            }

            smsTemplatesService.sendReminderSms(results);
        }catch(e) {
            println ("ERROR for SMS reminder trigger: " + e);
        }
    }

When the timer is execute I Receive the error in the title. The try-catch never catches anything. The stacktrace points out to this line:

and {

I'm really stuck here. I have tried adding the runtime 'org.springframework:spring-test:3.1.0.RELEASE' to the runtime dependecies which is one of the recommended ways to go. but this did not help.

Here is also the stacktrace:

Answer 1

You miss the spring-mock-<version>.jar in your classpath. Add it and the error should go away.

if you are using maven add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-mock</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.8</version>
</dependency>
