Question

I would like to test my Spring MVC 3.0.1 application using *junit-4.10.*jar
I am also using Hibernate(I dont know if it is relevant)

here is the test class:

package net.controller;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertNotNull;
import net.service.WordService;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

@Transactional
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "/spring-servlet.xml" })
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class NewWordControllerTest {

    @Autowired
    private WordService wordService;

    @Test
    public void testController() {
        assertNotNull(wordService);
    }

}

But it gives me the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.junit.runner.notification.RunNotifier.testAborted(Lorg/junit/runner/Description;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

After quite a long googling I’m still have no idea how to solve the issue.
here is spring-servlet.xml

Answer 1

Spring 3.0.1 is written against JUnit 4.7, so you should either update Spring to a more recent version that is compatible with JUnit 4.10 or downgrade JUnit to 4.7.
