Error Running Basic Generated Tests From Documentation Tutor

[scottdelap]

I've been doing some basic kicking of the tires in respect to Seam. I've ran the first few tutorial items in respect to creating an action and a form. However, the tests for these components don't seem to run in Eclipse with the TestNG plugin installed. I receive the error:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: ELResolver cannot handle a null base Object with identifier 'hello'
at com.sun.el.lang.ELSupport.throwUnhandled(ELSupport.java:52)
at com.sun.el.parser.AstIdentifier.getValue(AstIdentifier.java:75)
at com.sun.el.parser.AstValue.getTarget(AstValue.java:67)
at com.sun.el.parser.AstValue.setValue(AstValue.java:147)
at com.sun.el.ValueExpressionImpl.setValue(ValueExpressionImpl.java:258)
at org.jboss.seam.util.UnifiedELValueBinding.setValue(UnifiedELValueBinding.java:44)
at org.jboss.seam.mock.SeamTest$Request.setValue(SeamTest.java:374)

Seems like I need something setup from a test environment perspective. Suggestions?

I am getting the same error with both the hello and ping tests (from the seam-gen tutorial in the reference manual). "ant test" works; TestNG eclipse plugin gives me the PropertyNotFoundException as it did for you.

Were you able to find a way to make Eclipse/TestNG work?

I am experiencing this problem as well for running the testNG test suite for the hotel booking example from SEAM 1.2.1.

where/how do you run "ant test"? in eclipse IDE?

Read the eclipse documentation.
