#Autowired object is always null [duplicate] - java

This question already has answers here:
Why is my Spring #Autowired field null?
(21 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I've started playing with spring data elasticsearch and have been looking at the example here.
I am having trouble understanding how #Autowired works. Consider the following:
IMessageProcessor.java:
package message.processor;
public interface IMessageProcessor {
void processMessage();
}
MyMessageProcessor.java
package message.processor;
#Component
public class MyMessageProcessor implements IMessageProcessor {
#Autowired
private ArticleServiceImpl articleService;
private final Author johnSmith = new Author("John Smith");
private final Author johnDoe = new Author("John Doe");
#Override
public void processMessage() {
Article article = new Article("Spring Data Elasticsearch");
article.setAuthors(asList(johnSmith, johnDoe));
article.setTags("elasticsearch", "spring data");
articleService.save(article);
}
}
MyMessageProcessorIT.java
package message.processor;
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = Config.class)
public class MyMessageProcessorIT {
#Autowired
private ElasticsearchTemplate elasticsearchTemplate;
#Before
public void before() {
elasticsearchTemplate.deleteIndex(Article.class);
elasticsearchTemplate.createIndex(Article.class);
}
#Test
void testProcessMessage() {
MyMessageProcessor msgProcessor = new MyMessageProcessor();
msgProcessor.processMessage();
}
}
Whenever I run the unit test, articleService in MyMessageProcessor is always null. Do I need extra configuration for the autowiring to work? All other code is the same as what is in the github repo linked above.
How do I ensure that wherever in my project I need to use ArticleServiceImpl, it is autowired correctly?
I have seem other posts with the same issue but none of the solutions seem to work for my example below.

You are not using the spring created instance of MyMessageProcessor and creating your own on this line.
MyMessageProcessor msgProcessor = new MyMessageProcessor();
You should autowire MyMessageProcessor in your test class instead.

because of you don't allow to create MyMessageProcessor with spring framework,that because spring doesnt inject your ArticleServiceImpl
#Configuration
public class Configuration {
#Bean
public MyMessageProcessor mymessageProcessor() {
return new MyMessageProcessor();
}
}
then
#Autowire MyMessageProcessor in your test class

#PCL, the first comment link in your post provides the complete answer, but in your code you have 2 choices:
1 - Put MyMessageProcessor msgProcessor autowired:
package message.processor;
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = Config.class)
public class MyMessageProcessorIT {
#Autowired
private ElasticsearchTemplate elasticsearchTemplate;
#Autowired
private MyMessageProcessor msgProcessor;
...
#Test
void testProcessMessage() {
msgProcessor.processMessage();
}
}
Or, you get the application context and manually autowire the bean, in the link that was provided by #Tom you can see thus referred to has Manual bean lookup. If you want to create a new bean then the applicationContext also has a autowire method.
Best regards,

How to create a test in Springt Boot that calls a service which includes constructor injection?

I'm trying to write a test in a Spring-Boot project. My problem is that I can't use my service that includes a constructor injection.
Depending on what I try I get errors like java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContexts or NullPointerExceptions.
My first try was to change the constructor injection in my service to a field injection. But after reading this post I decided to change it back to the previous way.
Then I searched for examples but couldn't find something that was helpful.
Following are the relevant code snippets. If more code is needed I would provide it.
The service class with the constructor injection:
PlayerServiceImpl.java
#Service
public class PlayerServiceImpl implements PlayerService {
private PlayerRepository playerRepository;
private CompanyService companyService;
private CompanyResourceService companyResourceService;
#Autowired
public PlayerServiceImpl(PlayerRepository thePlayerRepository, CompanyService theCompanyService,
CompanyResourceService theCompanyResourceService) {
this.playerRepository = thePlayerRepository;
this.companyService = theCompanyService;
this.companyResourceService = theCompanyResourceService;
}
...
}
The test class im trying to create:
PlayerServiceImplIntegrationTest.java
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
public class PlayerServiceImplIntegrationTest {
#TestConfiguration
static class PlayerServiceImplTestContextConfiguration {
private PlayerRepository playerRepository;
private CompanyService companyService;
private CompanyResourceService companyResourceService;
#Bean
public PlayerService playerService() {
return new PlayerServiceImpl(playerRepository, companyService, companyResourceService);
}
}
#Autowired
private PlayerService playerService;
#MockBean
private PlayerRepository playerRepository;
#Before
public void setUp() {
Player max = new Player("MaxMustang", "test123", "MaxMustang",
"max.mustang#test.com", new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()), 1, 0,
new BigDecimal("0.00"), new BigDecimal("0.00"), 0, 0);
Mockito.when(playerRepository.findByUserName(max.getUserName()))
.thenReturn(max);
}
#Test
public void whenFindById_thenReturnPlayer() {
String userName = "MaxMustang";
Player found = playerService.findByUserName(userName);
assertThat(found.getUserName()).isEqualTo(userName);
}
}
In my test, I'm trying to create a player object and receive it. It's just my first test in Spring Boot. And my main goal was to just get the test running.
And the original test is from Baeldung from "5. Mocking with #MockBean". But while experimenting around, I added or changed a few things.
If I missed a post pointing at the same problem I would be glad to be informed about that.
Also, I would appreciate it if someone can tell me if the arguments in the constructor of my service are too much or still in an "ok" range.
You have to make the configuration bean primary and also use constructor injection on that method:
#TestConfiguration
static class PlayerServiceImplTestContextConfiguration {
#Bean
#Primary
public PlayerService playerService(PlayerRepository playerRepository,
CompanyService companyService, CompanyResourceService companyResourceService) {
return new PlayerServiceImpl(playerRepository, companyService, companyResourceService);
}
}
Without primary you will have two beans of same type floating around and you dont use #Qualifier here. Also you cannot #Autowire beans in a configuration class thats why you need to use constructor injection.

How to add a bean in SpringBootTest

The question seems extremely simple, but strangely enough I didn't find a solution.
My question is about adding/declaring a bean in a SpringBootTest, not overriding one, nor mocking one using mockito.
Here is what I got when trying the simplest implementation of my real need (but it doesn't work):
Some service, bean, and config:
#Value // lombok
public class MyService {
private String name;
}
#Value // lombok
public class MyClass {
private MyService monitoring;
}
#Configuration
public class SomeSpringConfig {
#Bean
public MyClass makeMyClass(MyService monitoring){
return new MyClass(monitoring);
}
}
The test:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = { SomeSpringConfig.class })
public class SomeSpringConfigTest {
private String testValue = "testServiceName";
// this bean is not used
#Bean
public MyService monitoringService(){ return new MyService(testValue); }
// thus this bean cannot be constructed using SomeSpringConfig
#Autowired
public MyClass myClass;
#Test
public void theTest(){
assert(myClass.getMonitoring().getName() == testValue);
}
}
Now, if I replace the #Bean public MyService monitoring(){ ... } by #MockBean public MyService monitoring;, it works. I find it strange that I can easily mock a bean, but not simply provide it.
=> So how should I add a bean of my own for one test?
Edit:
I think ThreeDots's answer (create a config test class) is the general recommendation.
However, Danylo's answer (use #ContextConfiguration) fit better to what I asked, i.e. add #Bean directly in the test class.
Spring Test needs to know what configuration you are using (and hence where to scan for beans that it loads). To achieve what you want you have more options, the most basic ones are these two:
Create configuration class outside the test class that includes your bean
#Configuration
public class TestConfig {
#Bean
public MyService monitoringService() {
return new MyService();
}
}
and then add it to to test as configuration class #SpringBootTest(classes = { SomeSpringConfig.class, TestConfig.class })
or
If you only need to use this configuration in this particular test, you can define it in static inner class
public class SomeSpringConfigTest {
#Configuration
static class ContextConfiguration {
#Bean
public MyService monitoringService() {
return new MyService();
}
}
}
this will be automatically recognized and loaded by spring boot test
Simply add the config as
#ContextHierarchy({
#ContextConfiguration(classes = SomeSpringConfig.class)
})
What i am using in this cases is #Import:
#DataJpaTest(showSql = false)
//tests against the real data source defined in properties
#AutoConfigureTestDatabase(replace = AutoConfigureTestDatabase.Replace.NONE)
#Import(value = {PersistenceConfig.class, CustomDateTimeProvider.class})
class MessageRepositoryTest extends PostgresBaseTest {
....
Here i am using a pre configured "test slice".
In this case a need to add my JpaAuditingConfig.
But why not just adding the other beans as you did with your SomeSpringConfig.class ?:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = { SomeSpringConfig.class, OtherBean.class })
public class SomeSpringConfigTest {
...
Everything listed in test will be injectable directly, all not declared must be added as mocks.

Null pointer exception thrown when operating on service that should be Autowired [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Why is my Spring #Autowired field null?
(21 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I've created a utilities class that will house some functionality that doesn't belong in standard controllers, such as syncing and ingesting API data. I have a very simple Repository class that extends CrudRepository:
//TransactionCategoryRepository.java
#Repository
public interface TransactionCategoryRepository extends CrudRepository<TransactionCategory, Integer> {
}
Then I have a service class which is also very straightforward at the moment:
//TransactionCategoryService.java
#Service
public class TransactionCategoryService {
private TransactionCategoryRepository transactionCategoryRepository;
#Autowired
public TransactionCategoryService(TransactionCategoryRepository repository) {
this.transactionCategoryRepository = repository;
}
public void saveTransactionCategory(TransactionCategory transactionCategory) {
transactionCategoryRepository.save(transactionCategory);
}
My utilities class leverages the TransactionCategoryService and I've attempted to include it with #Autowired:
//Utilities.java
#Controller
public class PlaidUtilities {
private Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PlaidUtilities.class.getSimpleName());
private PlaidClient mPlaidClient;
#Autowired
TransactionCategoryService mTransactionCategoryService;
#Autowired
TransactionRepository mTransactionCategoryRepository;
....
When I use mTransactionCategoryService to save a new entity, I get the null pointer exception. IntelliJ previously threw warnings on my #Autowired annotations that the member classes needed to be declared in spring beans. Adding the #Controller annotation made these go away, though I'm not sure if that is the right thing to do; I tried this because this is the only difference between this class and another class which #Autowires in exactly the same way but does not have this problem.
The other classes that use Autowired in this way are in a package called controllers which is in the root directory. This Utilities class is in a package called util which is also in the root directory.
What have I done wrong in this setup/configuration?
You forget to autowire the repository in your service layer.
//TransactionCategoryService.java
#Service
public class TransactionCategoryService {
#Autowired //MISSING THIS
private TransactionCategoryRepository transactionCategoryRepository;
#Autowired
public TransactionCategoryService(TransactionCategoryRepository repository) {
this.transactionCategoryRepository = repository;
}
public void saveTransactionCategory(TransactionCategory transactionCategory) {
transactionCategoryRepository.save(transactionCategory);
}

Spring/TestNG integration: Auto-injection fails with two test classes

Hitting an odd issue with my spring based integration tests. Note that I'm not so much unit testing a spring IoC app as I'm using Spring to auto-inject properties into my test configuration. Also - we're not using any context configuration xml, everything is configured programatically.
I got the framework all set up and running with a single test before handing it off to the team tester, auto-injection was working fine. However, as soon as he added a second test class, auto-injection of my configuration field just stops working. I've cloned his branch and verified the behavior; Commenting out his class OR my original class causes the auto-injection to return to normal function.
Anybody ever seen this? Relevant code snippets below. I've tried moving around the #ContextConfiguration annotation but it didn't really help. It seems like Spring is having trouble deciding where the TestProperties object should come from. The field I've commented on below is coming up null when I run the tests, but only if there are two test classes enabled.
#ContextConfiguration(classes = TestConfig.class, loader = AnnotationConfigContextLoader.class)
public abstract class BaseIntegrationTest
extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests
{
#Autowired
protected MockServerClient mockServer;
// I get an error in IntelliJ Pro on this field.
// Could not autowire. There is more than one bean of 'TestProperties' type. Beans: getTestProperties, testProperties
// I've also tried #Qualifier("getTestProperties") and #Qualifier("testProperties")
// which both resolve the error in IntelliJ but the TestProperties field is still null when running the tests.
#Autowired
protected TestProperties properties;
//...
}
public class TestGetMuIT
extends BaseIntegrationTest
{
private ManagementUnitClient managementUnitClient;
#BeforeMethod(alwaysRun = true)
public void setup()
{
String endpoint = properties.getServiceBaseUri(); //NullPointerException thrown here during test run
}
}
Other relevant classes:
#Configuration
public class RootConfig
{
protected static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(RootConfig.class);
private PropertyService propertyService;
private TestProperties testProperties;
#Bean
public PropertyService propertyService() throws IOException {
if (propertyService == null) {
propertyService = new DynamoDbPropertyService(config.getPropertiesConfig());
propertyService.initialize();
}
return propertyService;
}
#Bean
public TestProperties getTestProperties() throws IOException {
if (testProperties == null) {
testProperties = new TestProperties();
}
}
And the actual TestProperties class:
#Component
public class TestProperties
{
public static class Default {
public static final String BASE_URI = "http://localhost:8055";
}
#Autowired
private PropertyService propertyService;
public String getServiceBaseUri()
{
return propertyService.getPropertyRegistry().getString(TestConfigKey.LocalServiceBaseUri.key(), Default.BASE_URI);
}
}
And these are my spring config annotations:
#Configuration
//Note: TestProperties.class is a recent addition. I added that and commented out the #Bean getTestProperties() method in RootConfig as a troubleshooting step
#Import({RootConfig.class, TestProperties.class})
#EnableAspectJAutoProxy
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.inin.wfm.it"},
excludeFilters = #ComponentScan.Filter(value = com.inin.wfm.it.config.ConfigPackageExcludeFilter.class, type = FilterType.CUSTOM))
public class TestConfig {\\... }
Again all of the above works just fine if there's only one test file (and it doesn't matter which of the two I comment out). Anybody know what I'm doing wrong in my configuration?

NoSuchBeanDefinitionException for dependencies of mocked beans

I am attempting to use mocks in my integration test and am not having much luck. I am using Spring 3.1.1 and Mockito 1.9.0, and the situation is as follows:
#Component
public class ClassToTest {
#Resource
private Dependency dependency;
}
and
#Component
public class Dependency {
#Resource
private NestedDependency nestedDependency;
}
Now, I want to do an integration test of ClassToTest using Spring's JavaConfig. This is what I have attempted, and it doesn't work:
#Test
#ContextConfiguration
public class ClassToTestIntegrationTest {
#Resource
private ClassToTest classToTest;
#Resource
private Dependency mockDependency;
#Test
public void someTest() {
verify(mockDependency).doStuff();
// other Mockito magic...
}
#Configuration
static class Config {
#Bean
public ClassToTest classToTest() {
return new ClassToTest();
}
#Bean
public Dependency dependency() {
return Mockito.mock(Dependency.class);
}
}
}
I have simplified my setup to make the question easier to understand. In reality I have more dependencies and only want to mock some of them - the others are real, based on config imported from my prod #Configuration classes.
What ends up happening is I get a NoSuchBeanDefinitionException saying that there are no beans of type NestedDependency in the application context. I don't understand this - I thought Spring would receive Mockito's mocked instance of Dependency and not even look at autowiring it. Since this isn't working I end up having to mock my entire object graph - which completely defeats the point of mocking!
Thanks in advance for any help!
I had the same problem and I found another solution.
When Spring instantiate all your beans, it will check if it's a Mockito Mock and in this case, I return false for injection property. To use it, just inject it in a Spring context
Code below:
public class MockBeanFactory extends InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessorAdapter {
private static final MockUtil mockUtil = new MockUtil();
public MockBeanFactory() {
super();
}
#Override
public boolean postProcessAfterInstantiation(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
return !mockUtil.isMock(bean);
}
}
What Mockito does when mocking classes is it creates a subclass using cglib having some fancy name like: Dependency$EnhancerByMockito (IIRC). As you probably know, subclasses inherit fields from their parent:
#Component
public class Dependency {
#Resource
private NestedDependency nestedDependency;
}
public class Dependency$EnhancerByMockito extends Dependency{
//...
}
This means Spring still sees the field in base class when presented with mock. What you can do:
Use interfaces, which will cause Mockito to employ dynamic proxies rather than CGLIB-generated classes
Mock NestedDependency - I know it will just cascade the problem one level further
Disable #Resource annotation scanning for tests
