Spring dao testing hibernate class not found

Question

I am just starting with spring and I want to write some unit tests for my DAO. My current build gradle for project looks like this:

apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'jetty'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
sourceCompatibility = 1.7


repositories {
   mavenCentral()
}

idea{
    module{
    downloadJavadoc = true
    downloadSources = false
    }
}

dependencies {
    //Hibernate
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:4.2.6.Final'

    //Spring
    compile('org.springframework:spring-context:3.2.4.RELEASE') {
        exclude group: 'commons-logging', module: 'commons-logging'
    }
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:3.2.4.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-orm:3.2.4.RELEASE'

    //Spring security
    compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-core:3.1.4.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:3.1.4.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-config:3.1.4.RELEASE'
    //Spring test
    testCompile 'org.springframework:spring-test:3.2.4.RELEASE'
    testCompile 'org.hsqldb:hsqldb:2.3.0'

    //Servelets
    providedCompile 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'
    providedCompile 'javax.servlet.jsp:jsp-api:2.2'
    compile 'javax.servlet:jstl:1.2'

    //Test dependencies
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'

    //Mysql connector
    compile 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.26'

    //logging
    compile 'log4j:log4j:1.2.17'
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.6.1'

    //Additional libraries.
    compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.3'
}
jettyRunWar.contextPath = ''

I am not sure if this is correct build but it is working(I am not sure if I have correct dependencies in correct groups). I can run app on server. My DAO is using entity manager like this:

@PersistenceContext protected EntityManager em;

I have my test configuration like this:

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {
        "net."
    })
public class ConfigurationForDaoTesting {
     @Bean
        public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean(){

            LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean lcemfb
                = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();

            lcemfb.setDataSource(this.dataSource());
            lcemfb.setPackagesToScan(new String[] {"net.mydevil.miles.dao"});
            lcemfb.setPersistenceUnitName("MyTestPU");

            HibernateJpaVendorAdapter va = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
            lcemfb.setJpaVendorAdapter(va);

            Properties ps = new Properties();
            ps.put("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect");
            ps.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create");
            lcemfb.setJpaProperties(ps);

            lcemfb.afterPropertiesSet();

            return lcemfb;

        }

        @Bean
        public DataSource dataSource(){

            EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder builder = new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder();
            EmbeddedDatabase db = builder.setType(EmbeddedDatabaseType.HSQL).build();
            return db;

        }

        @Bean
        public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(){

            JpaTransactionManager tm = new JpaTransactionManager();

            tm.setEntityManagerFactory(
                this.entityManagerFactoryBean().getObject() );

            return tm;

        }
}

Here is my test:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes={ConfigurationForDaoTesting.class})
public class RouteDaoTest {

    @Autowired
    RouteDao dao;

    @Test
    public void test(){
        assert(dao!=null);
    }
}

And finally this is the exception that I have when I want to run the test.

ERROR: org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager - Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.test.context.web.ServletTestExecutionListener@7f275219] to prepare test instance [net.mydevil.miles.dao.RouteDaoTest@6e7f2886]

How I can fix this issue? Thanks in advance for help, Best Regards

Answer 1

It seems like you are missing the hibernate-entitymanager jar. This jar contains the org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence class you are missing.
