Seam Integration Test
I am using Seam 1.2.1 and trying to write an integration test for my code. The pages run fine when deployed on server. However, when I run my testcase, I get following exception:
FAILED: testUpdate
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: ELResolver cannot handle a null base Object with identifier 'profileaction'

Obviously, there is something wrong with my test code but I cannot figure it out. Documentation seems to be very sparse on this topic.
My code is something like following:
public void testUpdate() throws Exception {
new FacesRequest() {
@Override
protected void invokeApplication() throws Exception {
// identity.login invoked from here
// along the lines of booking example..
// btw, what is a FacesRequest() with no parameters for ?
}
}.run();
new FacesRequest("/main.xhtml") {
// doing nothing here right now.
}.run();
new FacesRequest("/mypage.xhtml") {
@Override
protected void invokeApplication() throws Exception {
User user = (User) Contexts.getSessionContext().get("user"); // has Session scope
assert user.getGivenName().equals("Given");
assert user.getLastName().equals("Last");
MyBean bean = new MyBean(); // has Conversation Scope
Contexts.getConversationContext().set("bean",bean);
bean.setValue("value");
MyAction action = new MyAction(); // has EVENT Scope
Contexts.getEventContext().set("myaction",action);
setValue("#{myaction.user}",user); // Exception at this line!!
setValue("#{myaction.bean}",bean);
// have to call myaction.update method and then test how values of user and bean change..
}
}
}
please help...
