Question

This is my pom.xml (part of it):

[...]
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
  <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
  <version>${jersey.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.jersey.jersey-test-framework</groupId>
  <artifactId>jersey-test-framework-embedded-glassfish</artifactId>
  <version>${jersey.version}</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
[...]

This is the test:

public class FooTest extends JerseyTest {
  public FooTest() throws Exception {
    super("com.XXX");
  }
  @Before
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
  }
  @Test
  public void shouldWork() throws Exception {
  }
}

This is what I’m getting in the log:

com.sun.jersey.test.framework.spi.container.TestContainerException: org.glassfish.embed.EmbeddedException: You must start the server before calling this API method: EmbeddedDeployer.EmbeddedDeployer Constructor.
at com.sun.jersey.test.framework.spi.container.embedded.glassfish.EmbeddedGlassFishTestContainerFactory$EmbeddedGlassFishTestContainer.stop(EmbeddedGlassFishTestContainerFactory.java:154)
at com.sun.jersey.test.framework.JerseyTest.tearDown(JerseyTest.java:312)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
[...]

When I remove setUp() method from the class everything works fine. What’s wrong here?

Answer 1

Try super.setUp(); in setup.

When you remove it it will call its inherited version of super. which is fine.

But as you add your own setUp you have overridden the super's version .
