Spring JUnit test case failed
java, junit, spring, testcase
Solution
What you are doing currently is fine, although I would say it is more of an integration test than a unit test.
My main suggestion would be to only bring up parts of the system that you absolutely need for the component under test, e.g. the `ProductDAO`.
You already seem to be doing this to a certain extent but what may also help is reducing the scope of your `component-scan` to where you keep your DAOs, e.g.:
<context:component-scan base-package="com.myapp.dao" />
This would avoid picking up higher-level components such as Controllers and Service.
You could then rename the context to `test-dao-context.xml` and use it in all your other DAO tests.
When you come to integration testing your Services you could then have a `test-service-context.xml` context which imports `test-dao-context.xml` allowing you to test from the service to the database without too much repetition of bean definitions.
Problem
I try to run a JUnit test case for `ProductDAO` class, that is part of the spring web application. But it still fails. I am not sure by my test-context.xml file. I have `ProductDAOImplTest` class in path `src/test/java` and mentioned `ProductController` class in the stacktrace is saved in a path `src/main/java`. ProductDAOImplTest ``` @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @ContextConfiguration("file:src/test/resources/test-context.xml") @Transactional public class ProductDAOImplTest { @Autowired private ProductDAO productDAO; @Test public void testAdd() { fail("Not yet implemented"); } @Test public void testEdit() { fail("Not yet implemented"); } @Test public void testGetAll() { fail("Not yet implemented"); } @Test public void testGet() { fail("Not yet implemented"); } @Test public void testRemove() { fail("Not yet implemented"); } @Test public void testGetByPage() { fail("Not yet implemented"); } } ``` test-context.xml ``` <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
