java - Trying to run junit test on service level of Spring WebFlow Project. Assume$AssumptionViolatedException

Question

I am trying to run my first test with junit on a Spring Web Flow Project from within Eclipse and also from the console with mvn test and but give me the same error.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/Assume$AssumptionViolatedException

Here is my java code:

package org.uftwf.memberinquiry.text;

import junit.framework.Assert;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
import org.uftwf.memberinquiry.model.MemberInquiryInformation;
import org.uftwf.memberinquiry.model.MemberRequest;
import org.uftwf.memberinquiry.service.MemberInquiryService;


@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:root-config.xml")
public class TestApp {

    @Autowired
    private MemberInquiryService service;

    @Test
    public void testgetMemeberRequestInformation() {

        MemberRequest inMemberRequest = new MemberRequest();

        MemberInquiryInformation testInfo = service.getMemeberRequestInformation(inMemberRequest);

        inMemberRequest.setRequestor("[email protected]");


        Assert.assertEquals(testInfo.getFirst_Name(), "Christine");
        Assert.assertEquals(testInfo.getLast_Name(), "Pillings");
    }

}

and here is my pox.xml

Answer 1

This is a shot in the dark - but I found this on spring's forum. It is consistent with your configuration - you are using Spring-test v2.5 and Junit 4.7, it looks like spring-test v2.5 might only support Junit v4.4.

Try to downgrade to JUnit 4.4 or upgrade to spring-test v2.5.6 and see if the problem goes away.
