Google App Engine Data Store Unit Tests With Maven

Question

Trying to get my GAE 1.9.0 project's unit tests to run using maven 3.2.1. Data Store Related Tests Fail :

java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: 
com.google.appengine.tools.development.LocalRpcService: 
Provider com.google.appengine.api.datastore.dev.LocalDatastoreV4Service 
could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
com/google/apphosting/datastore/DatastoreV4$LookupRequestOrBuilder

I understand this means i'm missing a dependency. Can't seem to find a doc on how to properly configure my pom.xml for datastore tests. The test crashes when I call

helper.setup()

on the helper:

public final LocalServiceTestHelper helper = new LocalServiceTestHelper(
            new LocalDatastoreServiceTestConfig(),
            new LocalTaskQueueTestConfig(),
            new LocalBlobstoreServiceTestConfig(),
            new LocalUserServiceTestConfig()));

Answer 1

In my case, adding testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-tools-sdk:1.9.24' to my build.gradle fixed it. (I'm using gradle - the maven equivalent should be the same.) Here are my test dependencies:

// Test
testCompile "junit:junit:4.12"
testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-testing:1.9.24'
testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-api-labs:1.9.24'
testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-api-stubs:1.9.24'
testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-tools-sdk:1.9.24'

I don't know what changed - it used to work without that dependency. But at least that seams to solve the problem.

Answer 2

I don't know if you guys solved, but using the GAE version 1.8.2 worked for me !
