Load application context problem in Maven managed spring-test TestNg
- by joejax
I try to setup a project with spring-test using TestNg in Maven. The code is like:
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"test-context.xml"})
public class AppTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests {
@Test
public void testApp() {
assert true;
}
}
A test-context.xml simply defined a bean:
<bean id="app" class="org.sonatype.mavenbook.simple.App"/>
I got error for Failed to load ApplicationContext when running mvn test from command line, seems it cannot find the test-context.xml file; however, I can get it run correctly inside Eclipse (with TestNg plugin).
So, test-context.xml is under src/test/resources/, how do I indicate this in the pom.xml so that 'mvn test' command will work?
Thanks,
UPDATE:
Thanks for the reply. Cannot load context file error was caused by I moved the file arround in different location since I though the classpath was the problem. Now I found the context file seems loaded from the Maven output, but the test is failed:

If I use spring-test version 3.0.2.RELEASE, the error becomes:

Here is the structure of the project:
simple
|-- pom.xml
`-- src
|-- main
| `-- java
`-- test
|-- java
`-- resources
|-- test-context.xml
`-- testng.xml
testng.xml:
<suite name="Suite" parallel="false">
<test name="Test">
<classes>
<class name="org.sonatype.mavenbook.simple.AppTest"/>
</classes>
</test>
</suite>
test-context.xml:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd"
default-lazy-init="true">
<bean id="app" class="org.sonatype.mavenbook.simple.App"/>
</beans>
In the pom.xml, I add testng, spring, and spring-test artifacts, and plugin:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>5.1</version>
<classifier>jdk15</classifier>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>

<artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>

<suiteXmlFiles>

Basically, I replaced 'A Simple Maven Project' Junit with TestNg, hope it works.
