@Value “Could not resolve placeholder” in Spring B

I want to take a Junit test for Spring-boot as below:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {ApplicationTest.class})
public class TestOnSpring {
    @Value("${app.name}")
    private String appName;

    @Test
    public void testValue(){
        System.out.println(appName);
    }
}

and ApplicationTest.java like this

@ComponentScan("org.nerve.jiepu")
@EnableAutoConfiguration()
public class ApplicationTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ApplicationTest.class, args);
    }
}

and my POM like this:

<parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </parent>

When I run the test, I got below error information

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'app.name' in string value "${app.name}"

    at org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor$AutowiredFieldElement.inject(AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.java:543)
    ... 31 more

But When I run this application as normal Java Application

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

It work well!

What's wrong with it ? How should I take the junit test with Spring-boot? Thanks a lot!

回答1:

You need to add

@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")

to your class, so it will pick your normal configurations.

If you need different configurations for test you can add

@TestPropertySource(locations="classpath:test.properties")

If not just copy paste your config file to test/resources folder, then boot will pick from there.

See this.

回答2:

You can use the @SpringBootTest that will do create the PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer automatically.

This is described in the Testing chapter of the Spring Boot documentation.
