Spring boot field injection with autowire not working in JUnit test

I want to inject DeMorgenArticleScraper in a test.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class DeMorgenArticleScraperTest {

    @Autowired
    private DeMorgenArticleScraper deMorgenArticleScraper;

    ...
}

The DeMorgenArticleScraper component has some configuration going on for itself, but the IDE/compiler is not complaining about them.

@Component
public class DeMorgenArticleScraper extends NewsPaperArticleScraper {

    @Autowired
    public DeMorgenArticleScraper(
            @Qualifier("deMorgenSelectorContainer") SelectorContainer selector,
            GenericArticleScraper genericArticleScraper,
            @Qualifier("deMorgenCompany") Company company) {
        super(selector, genericArticleScraper, company);
    }

    ...
}

The constructor parameters that are annotated with @Qualifier, are defined in a Config.class With @Bean. The class itself has @Configuration. I figure the problem is not situated here.

The IDE warns me already, no bean found...autowired members must be defined in a bean. But as far as I know, it is defined in a bean with the @Component annotation. All other bean wiring seems ok as the Spring boot application can start (when I comment out the test class).

Using Junit5 worked for me and then just the @SpringBootTest and @ActiveProfiles ("test") annotation was sufficient. Of course, I had to have an application-test.properties in the /test/resources path.

I ran into similar problem where my spring context was not getting initialized and therefore I was not able to inject the bean with @Autowired annotation. Then I came across this post and tried with the below annotations as suggested by @progonkpa and it started working.

@SpringBootTest
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)

But then I realized that @SpringBootTest already contains @ExtendWith({SpringExtension.class}) annotation which is Junit5 equivalent of @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) thus it should load spring-context while running the test. Then I found out the silly mistake I made to import @Test annotation from junit4(i.e org.junit.Test;) instead of junit5(i.e org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;) library. I changed the @Test from junit5 library and it started working with a single annotation @SpringBootTest.

p.s : don't forget to exclude junit4 library from your dependency if you are using junit5

I have the same problem.

  1. There is service, which I want to inject for testing but I want to test only platformToSql(..) method without launching whole Spring Boot application.

    @Service
public class ConverterToSqlImpl implements IConverterToSql {

    private final ISomeRepository someRepository;
    private final IUtilService utilService;

    public ConverterToSqlMainConstructorServiceImpl(
            IWorkerUtilService workerUtilService,
            ISomeRepository someRepository) {
        this.utilService = utilService;
        this.someRepository = someRepository;
    }

    @Override
    public String platformToSql(String platformName) {
        return "platform='" + platformName + "'";
    }

    @Override
    public String methodWhichUseRepositoryAndUtilBeans() {
        // some code which is not interested us
    }
}

  2. I create test class. It is necessary to mock beans because they are not need for test method.

    @RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = {ConverterToSqlImpl.class})
//@ContextConfiguration(classes = {ConverterToSqlImpl.class})
@MockBeans({@MockBean(IUtilService.class), @MockBean(ISomeRepository.class)})
public class SqlConverterConstructorTest {

    @Autowired
    private IConverterToSqlMainConstructorService convertToSql;

    @Test
    public void platformTest() {
        String platformSql = convertToSql.platformToSql("PLATFORM_1");
        String expectedSql = "platform='PLATFORM_1'";
        Assert.assertEquals(platformSql, expectedSql);
    }
}

@SpringBootTest(classess = {}) load to ApplicationContext only classess which are pointed out in classess section, not whole application with all beans will be lauched.

Also, as alternative to @SpringBootTest with classes={..}, you can uncomment line with @ContextConfiguration. It is plain old style.

@SpringBootTest is fairly heavyweight, and for all intents and purpose will load your entire application, https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-testing.html#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications, it's fairly heavyweight and dramatically affects test time. Depending on what you are trying to test you may want to look into

I replaced

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

with

@SpringBootTest
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)

This appears to be working fine: I see Spring boot firing up and loading beans. I'll keep this question open for a short while for better suggestions.
