Autowiring fails in integration tests with JUnit and Spring Data

Question

i'm working with the following tutorial Spring Data JPA Tutorial: Integration Testing and i get the following exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'lp_grocery_list.ProductEntityTest': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: lp_grocery_list.db.repository.ProductsRepository lp_grocery_list.ProductEntityTest.repository; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [lp_grocery_list.db.repository.ProductsRepository] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}

The test (src/test/java):

@Configuration
@ContextConfiguration(classes = PersistenceContext.class)
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class ProductEntityTest {

@Autowired
ProductsRepository repository;

@Test
public void findAllProducts() {
    List<ProductsEntity> peList = repository.findAll();
    assertTrue("Found not the expected products", peList.size() == 15);
} 

The PersistenceContext (src/test/java):

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:persistence.properties")
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:applicationContext.xml",
    "classpath:applicationTestContext.xml" })
public class PersistenceContext {

@Autowired
private Environment environment;

@Bean
public DataSource datasource() {

    BoneCPDataSource dataSource = new BoneCPDataSource();
    dataSource.setDriverClass(environment.getRequiredProperty("db.driver"));
    dataSource.setJdbcUrl(environment.getRequiredProperty("db.url"));
    dataSource.setUsername(environment.getRequiredProperty("db.username"));
    dataSource.setPassword(environment.getRequiredProperty("db.password"));

    return dataSource;
}

The applicationTestContext.xml contains the following line (and more, but i don't think that is important here...):

<context:component-scan base-package="lp_grocery_list" />

The ProductsRepository (src/main/java):

@Repository
public interface ProductsRepository extends JpaRepository<ProductsEntity, Long>{

List<ProductsEntity> findByProductName(String productName);
}

Any hints or ideas ? I hope i didn't forget anything.

Edit

With the proposed change from @ContextConfiguration to @ImportResource i get the following exception:

** Second edit **

I found the solution, i defined two times the dataSource that caused the exception.

Answer 1

I believe this

@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:applicationContext.xml",
    "classpath:applicationTestContext.xml" })

should be

@ImportResource(value = { "classpath:applicationContext.xml",
        "classpath:applicationTestContext.xml" })

@ContextConfiguration should be used in the test class, but @Configuration classes that load contexts from other sources use @ImportResource.

You also don't need @Configuration on your ProductEntityTest class.

Answer 2

This is no object of type ProductsRepository in the Spring's context. Although there is an interface ProductsRepository but obviously it cannot be instantiated by Spring. You can create a class that implements this interface and annotate that with the @Repository annotation.
