So I am trying to autowire my http object in my test class and I have tried to integrate with @SpringBootTest however my http object still remains null.

My test class looks like this. 

//@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes=Http.class)
public class GetItemTests {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(GetItemTests.class);

@Autowired
private Http httpClass;
}

My SpringBootMain class looks like this 

@SpringBootConfiguration
@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootMain implements CommandLineRunner {

@Bean
ResourceConfig resourceConfig() {
    return new ResourceConfig().registerClasses(Version1Api.class,TokenUtilityClass.class, Paypal.class);
}

@Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
    //test.authenticationToken();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(SpringBootMain.class);
}
}

I have tried running with the SpringRunner as well as this but I receive errors about failing to load the application context.

  • When do you get the errors, is it when you run the spring boot app or the test? Could you post the error logs? – codeMan Feb 11 '20 at 11:27

    Also curious, why would you want to autowire Http class in your test class? – codeMan Feb 11 '20 at 11:28
  • `@SpringBootTest` with `@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)` is useless. The `@Autowired` field cannot be null as it would fail with an error during startup not while running the test. – M. Deinum Feb 11 '20 at 11:52
  • You should create the real object for a class under test. You should not autowire – Hatice Feb 11 '20 at 12:05
  • @codeMan My error when a run the test is simple it is a Java null pointer exception. I want to autowire the HTTP class as it uses an external config class which populates some of the HTTP's values from the an application.properties file – Edward Muldrew Feb 12 '20 at 21:51

Unless your Http class is annotated with @Component (meaning it is a bean maintained by the Spring IoC Container) you will not be able to @Autowire it in the way you wrote.

Please also post the exception you are getting and the implementation of your Http class so we can potentially provide further help.
