JPA Hibernate - Unknown Entity on excluded class

Question

When I run my test class called UserServiceTest I get this error. The weird thing is, I am not trying to persist an instance of the UserServiceTest type.

The code which it fails on. If I comment out this code the rest of the tests run and I dont get this error.

User persistedUser = new User() {
    {
        setUsername("Jan123");
        setName("Jan");
        setText("test bio");
        setLocation("<location>");
        setWebsite("<website>");
    }
};

entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
entityManager.persist(persistedUser);
entityManager.getTransaction().commit();

Here is my persistence.xml. I checked that it is used by malforming the XML on purpose to see if it throws an XML parsing error, which it does. Tables are created just fine, as I can see in the output of the build and in the SQL Server Management Studio.

      <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Edit: Here is the relevant code from the UserServiceTest. I did a usage search in NetBeans for any instances of UserServiceTest that I perhaps wrongfully instantiated. There are none.

private static EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory;
    private static EntityManager entityManager;
    private static UserService userService;
    private static User persistedUser;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUp() {
        entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("KwetterPUTest");
        entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();
        userService = new UserService(new UserDAOJPAImpl(entityManager));
        persistedUser = new User() {
            {
                setUsername("Jan123");
                setName("Jan");
                setText("test bio");
                setLocation("<location>");
                setWebsite("<website>");
            }
        };

        entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
        entityManager.persist(persistedUser);
        entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
    }

Edit 2: pom file for those who are interested. I used the latest 4.x version of Hibernate as well as the latest 5.x and 5.2.2. None changed anything.

Answer 1

Why are instantiating the User class like this:

persistedUser = new User() {
        {
            setUsername("Jan123");
            setName("Jan");
            setText("test bio");
            setLocation("<location>");
            setWebsite("<website>");
        }
    };

This will creates an inner class of type: UserServiceTest$1

And this class is not recognized by Hibernate as the stack trace says:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown entity: UserServiceTest$1

You must do it like this:

persistedUser = new User();
persistedUser.setUsername("Jan123");
persistedUser.setName("Jan");
persistedUser.setText("test bio");
persistedUser.setLocation("<location>");
persistedUser.setWebsite("<website>");
