I have a Java Project in which I am writing a simple JUNIT test case   I have copied the applicatinoContext xml file into the root java source directory   I ve tried it with some of the recommended settings I have read of here on StackOverflow but still get the same error   Is this error happening due to my project being a java project and NOT a web project  or does that even matter   I m not sure where im going wrong     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 springframework transaction annotation Transactional    RunWith SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class   ContextConfiguration locations   C  projs sortation src main java applicationContext xml       Also tried these settings but they also didnt work     ContextConfiguration locations   classpath applicationContext xml       ContextConfiguration  classpath applicationContext xml    Transactional public class TestSS         Autowired     private EmsDao dao        Test     public void getSites              List lt String gt  batchid   dao getList             for  String s   batchid                System out println s

I ve faced this issue because during bootstrapping my spring project  using the class that implements ApplicationListener lt ContextRefreshedEvent gt  and inside onApplicationEvent function it throws an exception     so make sure that your application bootstrap points do not throw any exception    in my case  I was using maven surefire plugin for testing so to debug the test process use this command   mvn -Dmaven surefire debug test

Looks like you are using maven  src main java   In this case put the applicationContext xml file in the src main resources directory  It will be copied in the classpath directory and you should be able to access it with   ContextConfiguration   applicationContext xml     From the Spring-Documentation  A plain path  for example  context xml   will be treated as a classpath resource from the same package in which the test class is defined  A path starting with a slash is treated as a fully qualified classpath location  for example   org example config xml    So it s important that you add the slash when referencing the file in the root directory of the classpath   If you work with the absolute file path you have to use  file C       if I understand the documentation correctly

I had the same problem  and I was using the following plugin for tests    lt plugin gt       lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt maven-surefire-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 9 lt  version gt       lt configuration gt           lt useFile gt true lt  useFile gt           lt includes gt               lt include gt     Tests java lt  include gt               lt include gt     Test java lt  include gt           lt  includes gt           lt excludes gt               lt exclude gt    Abstract  java lt  exclude gt           lt  excludes gt           lt junitArtifactName gt junit junit lt  junitArtifactName gt           lt parallel gt methods lt  parallel gt           lt threadCount gt 10 lt  threadCount gt       lt  configuration gt   lt  plugin gt    The test were running fine in the IDE  eclipse sts   but failed when using command mvn test   After a lot of trial and error  I figured the solution was to remove parallel testing  the following two lines from the plugin configuration above        lt parallel gt methods lt  parallel gt       lt threadCount gt 10 lt  threadCount gt    Hope that this helps someone out

I faced this issue  and that is when a Bean   Bean  was not instantiated properly as it was not given the correct parameters in my test class
