Problem with type converters in unit tests

[Brendan Long <br...@realgo.com>]

I'm trying to do some unit tests on my type converters in what seems
like an obvious way:

public class MyObjectTest extends CamelTestSupport {
    public void testCamelSerialize() {
        Exchange exchange = new DefaultExchange(this.context);
        MyObject object = new MyObject();
        exchange.setIn(object.toMessage());
        assertEquals(object, exchange.getIn(MyObject.class);
    }
}

If I do this, it doesn't call my type converter method at all:

@Converter
public static MyObject fromMessage(Message message) {
    System.out.println("This message never shows up");
    // more stuff
}

Am I missing something about how this is supposed to work?

Hi Brendan,

Since you are using Eclipse, I would encourage you to use m2Eclipse & Maven.
It will add a Maven Dependencies section to your project and you not need to
worry about classpath issues.

It is much nicer and Maven will automatically include src/main/resources and
src/main/java to the classpath.

Cheers,

Ashwin...

I figured this out right after posting. I needed to add
src/main/resources as a source folder in Eclipse (so it would pick up
META-INF/services/org/apache/camel/TypeConverter).
