In our project we are writting a test to check if the controller returns the right modelview
@Test
public void controllerReturnsModelToOverzichtpage()
{
ModelAndView modelView = new ModelAndView();
KlasoverzichtController controller = new KlasoverzichtController();
modelView = controller.showOverzicht();
assertEquals("Klasoverzichtcontroller returns the wrong view ", modelView.getViewName(), "overzicht");
}
This returns the exception null.
We are now configuring the @contextconfiguration but we don't know how to load the right xml who is located at src\main\webapp\root\WEB-INF\root-context.xml
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration
public class TestOverzichtSenario{
....
This documentation isn't clear enough to understand
Any suggestion on how to make sure the contextannotation loads the right xml?
Edit v2
I copied the configuration .xml files from the webINF folder to
src\main\resources\be\..a bunch of folders..\configuration\*.xml
and changed the web.xml in webinf to
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
classpath*:configuration/root-context.xml
classpath*:configuration/applicationContext-security.xml
</param-value>
and now get the error
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml]

Sometimes it might be something pretty simple like missing your resource file in test-classses folder due to some cleanups.
Loading the file from:
{project}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring-dispatcher-servlet.xml
That's the reason not to put configuration into
webapp
.As far as I know, there are no good ways to access files in
webapp
folder from the unit tests. You can put your configuration intosrc/main/resources
instead, so that you can access it from your unit tests (as described in the docs), as well as from the webapp (usingclasspath:
prefix incontextConfigLocation
).See also:
Suppose you are going to create a test-context.xml which is independent from app-context.xml for testing, put test-context.xml under /src/test/resources. In the test class, have the @ContextConfiguration annotation on top of the class definition.
Spring document Context management
This is a maven specific problem I think. Maven does not copy the files form
/src/main/resources
to the target-test folder. You will have to do this yourself by configuring the resources plugin, if you absolutely want to go this way.An easier way is to instead put a test specific context definition in the
/src/test/resources
directory and load via:Simple solution is
