I am trying to write some JUnit testing for my Java Spring application but I keep getting this error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContext.
Test class:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = AppConfig.class, loader = AnnotationConfigContextLoader.class)
public class SampleTest {
@Autowired
public ApplicationContext applicationContext;
@Test
public void sampleTest() throws Exception {
fail("this is a fail.");
}
}
pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
<version>4.1.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
AppConfig.java
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"my.base.package"})
public class AppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Bean
public InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver res = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
res.setPrefix("/");
res.setSuffix(".jsp");
return res;
}
@Bean
public MessageSource messageSource() {
ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
messageSource.setBasename("/i18/usermsg");
messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
return messageSource;
}
@Bean
public LocaleResolver localeResolver() {
CookieLocaleResolver resolver = new CookieLocaleResolver();
resolver.setDefaultLocale(new Locale("en_US"));
resolver.setCookieName("myLocaleCookie");
resolver.setCookieMaxAge(4800);
return resolver;
}
@Override
public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
LocaleChangeInterceptor interceptor = new LocaleChangeInterceptor();
interceptor.setParamName("mylocale");
registry.addInterceptor(interceptor);
}
@Override
public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
configurer.enable();
}
}

This is my first time writing JUnit tests, so I don't know if you super-kind guys need extra information. If so, I would be glad to provide them :)
You need to use @WebAppConfiguration annotation in your test class. Here is what the documentation states:
@WebAppConfiguration A class-level annotation that is used to declare that the ApplicationContext loaded for an integration test should be a WebApplicationContext. The mere presence of @WebAppConfiguration on a test class ensures that a WebApplicationContext will be loaded for the test, using the default value of "file:src/main/webapp" for the path to the root of the web application (i.e., the resource base path). The resource base path is used behind the scenes to create a MockServletContext which serves as the ServletContext for the test’s WebApplicationContext.
This works with provided scope of javax.servlet-api.
Besides, you can't use @EnableWebMvc in the configuration class you use for testing. Best if you create a separate configuration class that will be only used for testing, without @EnableWebMvc. You can check out this discussion: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A ServletContext is required to configure default servlet handling
