SpringBoot + Mybatis + MySQL, java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext

Question

I am very new to Spring. I am using SpringBoot + Mybatis + MySQL, I have this exception when I did my Unit test for my UserDAO : "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext". I follow this link to setting up my testing environment: http://www.mybatis.org/spring-boot-starter/mybatis-spring-boot-test-autoconfigure/ . I have searched a lot, but still can't find a solution. Could someone give me some advice? Thanks a lot in advance :)

Here is my Mybatis config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE configuration
    PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN"
    "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-config.dtd">

<settings>
    <!-- Globally enables or disables any caches configured in any mapper under this configuration -->
    <setting name="cacheEnabled" value="true"/>
    <!-- Sets the number of seconds the driver will wait for a response from the database -->
    <setting name="defaultStatementTimeout" value="3000"/>
    <!-- Enables automatic mapping from classic database column names A_COLUMN to camel case classic Java property names aColumn -->
    <setting name="mapUnderscoreToCamelCase" value="true"/>
    <!-- Allows JDBC support for generated keys. A compatible driver is required.
    This setting forces generated keys to be used if set to true,
     as some drivers deny compatibility but still work -->
    <setting name="useGeneratedKeys" value="true"/>
</settings>

<!-- Continue going here --> 
</configuration>

Here is my pom.file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

And here is my UserDao

@Mapper
public interface UserDao {

    static final String USER_TABLE = "user";
    final String INSERT_FIELDS = " name, password, salt, head_url";
    final String SELECT_FIELDS = " id, name, password, salt, head_url";

    // insert a record into user table
    @Insert({"Insert into ", USER_TABLE, " (" + INSERT_FIELDS + ") values " +
        "(#{name}, #{password}, #{salt}, #{headUrl})"})
    void addUser(User user);

    // select a record according to a given user id
    @Select({"select ", SELECT_FIELDS, " from ", USER_TABLE, " where id = #
{id}"})
    User getUserViaId(int id);

    // select a record according to a given user name
    @Select({"select ", SELECT_FIELDS , " from ", USER_TABLE, " where name = #
{name}"})
    User getUserViaName(String name);

    // update a user's password accroding to a given user id
    @Update({"update ", USER_TABLE, " set password = #{password} where id = #
{id}"})
    void updatePassword(int id);

    // delete a record accroding to a given user id
    @Delete({"delete from ", USER_TABLE, " where id = #{id]"})
    void deleteRecordViaId(int id);
}

Here is my applications.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/forum_demo?
useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&useSSL=false
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=*****
mybatis.config-location=classpath:src/main/resources/mybatis-config.xml

Here is my Test class:

package com.jingjie.forum_demo.daotest;

import com.jingjie.forum_demo.dao.UserDao;
import com.jingjie.forum_demo.model.User;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mybatis.spring.boot.test.autoconfigure.MybatisTest;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;

import java.util.Random;

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
//@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@MybatisTest
//@AutoConfigureTestDatabase(replace= AutoConfigureTestDatabase.Rplace.NONE)
//@Sql("/forum_demo.sql")
public class UserDaoTest {

    @Autowired
    UserDao userDaoTest;

    @Test
    public void addUserTest() {

        Random random = new Random();

        for (int i = 0; i < 11; i ++) {
            // perform some test
        }
    }
}

Here is the testing fail info:

Answer 1

I have solved the problem, I used the wrong package for Mybatis in pom.file. That is why due to the code is correct, but it shows such an error
