junit test case giving error


I am new to writing test cases:

My controller is below :

 @RequestMapping(value={"/addschool" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public  final ModelAndView  addschool(@ModelAttribute("addschool") Pricing pricing, Map<String, Object> map,
                 Model model,  HttpServletRequest request) {

               System.out.println("Name=" + pricing.getName() + " age=" + request.getParameter("age"));

               ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView(ADDSCHOOL);
                return mv;
           }

and my junit test case is this :

public class AddSchoolTest {

    @Autowired
    private UserManagementController controller;

    @Test
    public void testAddSchool() {

        ModelMap model = new ModelMap();
        HttpServletRequest request = new MockHttpServletRequest();
        Pricing pricing = new Pricing();
        String userName = "Laily";
        pricing.setName(userName);
        //ModelAndView mav= controller.handleRequest();
        try{
        ModelAndView mav= controller.addschool(pricing, model,null, request);
        //fail("Not yet implemented");
        assertNull(pricing);
        assertFalse(model.isEmpty());
        Assert.assertEquals("addschool", mav.getViewName());
        }catch(Exception e){

        }
    }

}

but my problem is even if I will remove "add school" and put something else it wil show green but if I remove try and catch than in every case it wil give red. What is the problem.

Full stack trace is this

Solution

  • As pappu_kity says, removing the empty catch block exposes the fact that your controller field is null - and so probably hasn't been autowired.

    To ensure that the field is autowired using @Autowired you need to run the test with the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner by annotating the AddSchoolTest class:

    @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
    @ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath*:/path/to/applicationContext.xml" })
    public class AddSchoolTest {
    
        @Autowired
        private UserManagementController controller;
    
        @Test
        public void testAddSchool() throws Exception {
    
            ModelMap model = new ModelMap();
            HttpServletRequest request = new MockHttpServletRequest();
            Pricing pricing = new Pricing();
            String userName = "Laily";
            pricing.setName(userName);
            //ModelAndView mav= controller.handleRequest();
    
            ModelAndView mav= controller.addschool(pricing, model,null, request);
            //fail("Not yet implemented");
            assertNull(pricing);
            assertFalse(model.isEmpty());
            Assert.assertEquals("addschool", mav.getViewName());
        }
    
    }
    

    Ensure that the @ContextConfiguration is set appropriately for the locations of your Spring config files.
