I'm new to Activiti and I have a simple unit test that is something like:

<java>
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:activiti-context.xml", "classpath:test-spring.xml" })
public class SimpleTest {
    /** JUnit test rule to give us access to Activiti services. */
    @Rule
    public ActivitiRule activitiRule = new ActivitiRule("activiti-context.xml");

    @Test
    @Deployment(resources = {"test-process.bpmn20.xml"})
    public void testIt() {
         …
    }
}
<java>

My activiti-context.xml looks like this:

And my activiti-context.properties where I put my database properties are:


database.activiti.url=jdbc:h2:mem:activiti;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=1000
database.activiti.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
database.activiti.username=sa
database.activiti.password=
database.activiti.validation-query=SELECT 1 FROM DUAL
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But when I run my unit test it looks like my database properties are not being evaluated:

Anybody have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help,

Can you share your test project in a zip?

The config looks ok from a quick look.
Where is the properties file located?

osganian · ‎04-29-2015

Thanks for the reply. So I have gotten a little further. Seems I have 2 PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer beans defined in my spring xml. I have 1 spring xml that defines one and another that gets included that defines another one. So I had to specify a placeholderPrefix & placeholderSuffix for one of them so they don't conflict. The reason I have 2 is because one is a test spring xml that defines some test properties. However I am still getting a similar error that is occurring in my test case's use of ActivitiTestCase.

I tried to attach my entire maven test case as a zip but I get this error uploading it on this forum:

"The selected file activiti-test.zip cannot be uploaded. Only files with the following extensions are allowed: txt."

So I have uploaded them separately with a .txt extension.

Below is the stack trace when I run my simple junit test:

As you can see the @ContextConfiguration annotation on the junit test case doesn't have a beef with my spring xml but it seems the ActivitiTestCase does and cannot locate those properties.

jbarrez · ‎05-07-2015

Okay, so first of all Spring expressions should be of the form ${} not {}.

Secondly, you are mixing two things: you are referencing the spring xml file in the ActivitiRule and again in the annotation at the top of your test class. This won't work.

You need to remove the ActivitiRule and Inject (@AutoWired) the ProcessEngine in the test class.
