I would like to use the Specs2 test framework for testing, but I am getting an java.lang.reflect.MalformedParameterizedTypeException when I try to integrate it with Spring.
There is a specs2-spring library, but that is using 2.10 and an old version of specs2. I looked at this question about scalaTest and it got me to this code:
@ContextConfiguration(Array("classpath:applicationContext.xml"))
class TryItTest extends SpecificationWithJUnit{
@Autowired val db:DriverManagerDataSource = null
new TestContextManager(this.getClass()).prepareTestInstance(this)
"this thing should" should{
"run ok" in {
db.getConnection
success
}
}
}
but when I try to run the test I get:

If I switch from SpecificationWithJUnit to SpecWithJUnit it runs the test without error, but I do not want to have in include all those traits by hand. I think (at least) one of the traits in Matchers is causing the problem. Has anyone else tried to do this with Specs2? Am I missing something important?
(I am using Spring V4.1.0.RELEASE)
