How to write junit test with existing spring configuration

[yongqiang]

Greeting Everyone,

I get a project which use activiti for years. There are a lot beans defined in spring xml files need to be loaded for process flow. Now, I like to build junit test for some process flows.

From what I understand, ActivitiRule will only look up activiti.cfg.xml by default. It will not load bean from spring xml files.

Are there any configuration I can let ActivitRule to understand definition from Spring XML?

Further, I tried approach like below

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:spring/applicationContext*.xml")

It does help to load bean but I counter issue such as "Caused by: org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Table "ACT_HI_PROCINST" already exists; SQL statement:"

I did some research, people say we can clean h2 db before test. But question is, how?

Any advice, please.


Regards,
Yong

No, the ActivitiRule does not support that.

But if it's a spring project, it's probably a better idea to run it with a Spring unit test runner, and inject the processEngine bean in the test.
