MissingMethodException exception when running Grails tests in STS

[smf]

Hello,

I am new to both Grails and STS/Eclipse. I am getting the following MissingMethodException with the following message when I attempt to run a very simple integration test by right clicking on the test class and selecting Run As > Junit Test from the menu:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: test.User.save() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter. unwrap(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:54)
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.PogoMetaClass Site.call(PogoMetaClassSite.java:51)
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.CallSiteArray .defaultCall(CallSiteArray.java:40)
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallS ite.call(AbstractCallSite.java:117)
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallS ite.call(AbstractCallSite.java:121)
...

The domain class that I am trying to test looks like this:
<code>
package test

class User {
String userId;
String password;
String homepage;
Date dateCreated;

static constraints = {
}
}
</code>

My integration test looks like this:
<code>package test

import grails.test.*

class UserIntegrationTests extends GrailsUnitTestCase {
void testSaveInitialUser() {
def user = new User(userId: 'hello', password: 'secret', homepage: 'http://www.world.com');

assertNotNull user.save();
assertNotNull user.id;

User foundUser = User.get(user.id);
assertEquals(foundUser.userId, foundUser.userId);
}
}
</code>

The project containing the code listed above was created using the Grails project wizard provided by STS. I'm using STS version 2.3.2 with Grails v.1.2.2.

The test passes when i run it using the test-app command on the grails command prompt.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Alex

Hi Alex,

Don't you need to use mockDomain() before the save method comes into existence for those kinds of test? (of course, that doesn't quite explain why it is different when run through test-app...).
