Wicket Unit Test: No WebApplicationContext found: no ContextLoaderListener registered?

[Jorge Gallardo]

Hi everyone,

I'm setting up an app with wicket 1.3.3
I have my Application class defined this way, to use Spring  injection with
annotations

public class WicketApplication extends SpringWebApplication {

    /**
     * Constructor
     */
    public WicketApplication() {
    }

    @Override
    protected void init() {
        super.init();
        configureSpringInjection();

        // configure bookmarkable pages
        mountBookmarkablePage("/login", LoginPage.class);
        mountBookmarkablePage("/home", HomePage.class);
    }

    protected void configureSpringInjection() {
        addComponentInstantiationListener(new
SpringComponentInjector(this));
    }

    @Override
    public Class<? extends Page> getHomePage() {
        return HomePage.class;
    }

    @Override
    public Session newSession(Request request, Response response) {
        return new WicketSession(request);
    }

}


Then I subclassed it for testing:

public class MockWicketApplication extends WicketApplication {

    private AnnotApplicationContextMock mockContext;

    @Override
    protected void configureSpringInjection() {

        mockContext = new AnnotApplicationContextMock();

        addComponentInstantiationListener(new SpringComponentInjector(this,
                mockContext));
    }

    public AnnotApplicationContextMock getMockContext() {
        return mockContext;
    }

}

And defined an abstract Test class:

public abstract class BaseWicketTest extends TestCase {

    protected WicketTester tester;

    protected AnnotApplicationContextMock mockContext;

    protected void setUp() throws Exception {

        MockWicketApplication webapp = new MockWicketApplication();

        tester = new WicketTester(webapp);

        mockContext = ((MockWicketApplication) tester.getApplication())
                .getMockContext();
    }
}

and finally the Test itself:

public class TestHomePage extends BaseWicketTest
{
    public void testRenderMyPage()
    {
        mockContext.putBean("userAuthenticationSrv", new
MockUserAuthenticationSrv());

        //start and render the test page
        tester.startPage(HomePage.class);

        //assert rendered page class
        tester.assertRenderedPage(HomePage.class);

        //assert rendered label component
        tester.assertLabel("message", "Some text");
    }
}

but then when i try to run the test case the result is the following
stacktrace:

I must be making a mistake somewhere, but i cant get it. I checked the
examples, the wiki, everywhere.

Any idea? Any thoughts? Will be greatly appreciated :)
