Issue with SpringJunit4ClassRunner and autowiring of dependencies..

[balteo]

Hello,

I am running into problems trying to test a Spring batch application. Here is what I get:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'com.jeanbaptistemartin.batch.mailing.AppTest': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.springframework.batch.test.JobLauncherTestUtils com.jeanbaptistemartin.batch.mailing.AppTest.jobLauncherTestUtils; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [org.springframework.batch.test.JobLauncherTestUtils] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true), @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier(value=jobLauncherTestUtils)}

Here is my test class:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations="file:./test-context.xml")
public class AppTest {

 
    @Autowired
    private JobLauncherTestUtils jobLauncherTestUtils;//this does not get autowired
    
    @Test
    @DirtiesContext
    public void integration() throws Exception{
        JobParameters jobParameters = new JobParametersBuilder().addString("date","2012/01/04").toJobParameters();
        JobExecution exec = jobLauncherTestUtils.launchJob(jobParameters);
        
    }
}

and the application context config class:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">

    <context:annotation-config/>
    <context:component-scan base-package="org.springframework.batch"/>
    <import resource="classpath:root-batch-mailing.xml" />
 
</beans>

Need more information.

It's simply saying it can't find a bean of type JobLauncherTestUtils. You haven't shown us any definition of that, so I would assume you don't have one.

I would have thought that the component-scan would have found the JobLauncherTestUtils class. Is it not annotated?
Anyway, I have now added the bean in the xml.
Thanks Dkarr,
Julien.
