Unknown database error running Junit test

[tfrith]

I have several versions of Alfresco installed.  I only have one running at a time.  They all use the same mysql database so each has a schema called "alfresco<version>" for example alfresco222, alfresco31, etc.

I just created a JUnit Test class much like org.alfresco.repo.props.PropertyValueComponentTest.java that I found in the svn head. See code below.

When I run it I get the stack trace below, essentially saying, "Unknown database 'alfresco' ".

My custom-repository-context.xml specifies:
db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco222

I really don't know where it is getting this database name ("alfresco") from.

Can anyone help me out?

JUnit class:

package ca.edmontonpublicschools.boxes.versatile.soap;

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.alfresco.util.ApplicationContextHelper;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

public class VersatileSOAPInterfaceTest extends TestCase {
    
    protected ApplicationContext ctx = ApplicationContextHelper.getApplicationContext();

   public void testGetBoxByBoxNumber() {
      fail("Not yet implemented");
   }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Stack Trace:

"alfresco" is the default value.    So unless you provide your own value then that's the value it will use.

It sounds like your "custom-repository-context.xml is not on the classpath for your Junit test.
