base for setQueueXmlPath

Question

I can't figure out how to point unit tests at the queue config file.

Unit Test snippet

// TaskQueue setup
LocalTaskQueueTestConfig tqConfig = new LocalTaskQueueTestConfig();
tqConfig.setQueueXmlPath("/war/WEB_INF/queue.xml");

Stack Trace

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified queue is unknown : zip-fetch at com.google.appengine.api.labs.taskqueue.QueueApiHelper.translateError(QueueApiHelper.java:56) at com.google.appengine.api.labs.taskqueue.QueueApiHelper.translateError(QueueApiHelper.java:111) at com.google.appengine.api.labs.taskqueue.QueueApiHelper.makeSyncCall(QueueApiHelper.java:32) at com.google.appengine.api.labs.taskqueue.QueueImpl.add(QueueImpl.java:310) at com.google.appengine.api.labs.taskqueue.QueueImpl.add(QueueImpl.java:282) at com.google.appengine.api.labs.taskqueue.QueueImpl.add(QueueImpl.java:267) at ...

Answer 1

LocalTaskQueueTestConfig tqConfig = new LocalTaskQueueTestConfig();
tqConfig.setQueueXmlPath("war/WEB-INF/queue.xml");

It is relative to the root of the project or an absolute path.
I had an underscore instead of a hyphen.

Per the javadoc, setQueueXmlPath must be the full path

public LocalTaskQueueTestConfig setQueueXmlPath(java.lang.String queueXmlPath) Overrides the location of queue.xml. Must be a full path, e.g. /usr/local/dev/myapp/test/queue.xml

Answer 3

In order for this to work with my maven project (using GAE 1.7.3), I had to specify the full path of the test location:

LocalTaskQueueTestConfig tqConfig = new LocalTaskQueueTestConfig();
tqConfig.setQueueXmlPath("src/test/resources/queue.xml");
