Testing with Spring + Struts 2 + TestNG
Hi. I've been struggling to have tests for my Struts 2 actions working.
I'm using Struts 2 actions created by Spring, by the means of the Struts
2 Spring plugin.
Both Struts 2 and Spring provide their own base classes to create test
units, and since Java doesn't allow multiple inheritance, I've tried to
extend one of the classes and trying to replicate the functionality
provided by the other, with no luck so far, I get all kinds of obscure
errors, especially from the Struts 2 part.
I also want to use TestNG, not JUnit.
I was wondering if there is a base class anywhere to create unit tests
for Struts 2 actions inside Spring.
Thanks in advance.

send me your code and spring config I could setup a surefire harness for you
if you already have a pom.xml send that also or I'll create a new pom.xml

Here is an example -
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"classpath*:applicationContext-test.xml"})
public class SomeActionTest {
@Autowired @Qualifier("dao")
private MyAction myAction;
public void testOne() {
...
The difference between applicationContext-test.xml and
applicationContext.xml is typically database settings, etc. For
complicated things like actions directly manipulating the request
object, I'll just setup some spring mocks.

I'm pretty much with Nils here, except that I use later versions of
JUnit that support the @RunWith annotation and there is a spring class
that you can use so that you can specify an applicationContext.xml
file. That way, I can create a spring config file with beans defined
specifically for testing (connected to HSQLDB for instance) and then
just set @Autowired annotation on the struts action so that it gets
all the spring bean dependencies injected, then write the unit tests
against it.

If it's unit testing you want to do, can't you just test your actions
without involving Spring or anything else? I usually just create a
unit test where I instantiate my action, set the aproriate
dependencies, and then just call the appropriate execute method.
