NullPointerException - getCurrentViewID

[mausbull]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to include JSFUnit into my JEE6, Seam3, Richfaces, Arquillian project.

I was able to run the getting stated example described at http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JSFUnit200GettingStartedExample.

However, when I include this test into my project I get a NullPointerException

testInitialPage(at.icbi.seqbench.jsfunit.HelloJSFTest)  Time elapsed: 2,664.141 sec  <<< ERROR!
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.jboss.jsfunit.jsfsession.JSFServerSession.getCurrentViewID(JSFServerSession.java:79)
    at at.icbi.seqbench.jsfunit.HelloJSFTest.testInitialPage(HelloJSFTest.java:56)

    at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:44)
    at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:15)

Specifically, the attributes clientIDs and currentFacesContext are null in JSFServerSession server.

Test class looks as follows:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class HelloJSFTest
{

  @Deployment
  public static WebArchive createDeployment()
  {
    Class clazz = org.jboss.jsfunit.cdi.InitialPage.class;
    WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war")
        .setWebXML(new File("src/test/resources/jsf/web.xml"))
        .addPackage(Package.getPackage("at.icbi.seqbench.jsfunit"))
        // my test package
        .addResource(new File("src/test/resources/jsf", "index.xhtml")).addWebResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml")
        .addWebResource(new File("src/test/resources/jsf/faces-config.xml"), "faces-config.xml")
        .addManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"));

    return war;
  }

  @Test
  @InitialPage("/index.faces")
  public void testInitialPage(JSFServerSession server, JSFClientSession client) throws IOException
  {
    // Test navigation to initial viewID
    Assert.assertEquals("/index.xhtml", server.getCurrentViewID());

    // Set the param and submit
    client.setValue("name", "MyName");
    client.click("submit_button");

    // Assert that the greeting component is in the component tree and rendered
    UIComponent greeting = server.findComponent("greeting");
    Assert.assertTrue(greeting.isRendered());

    // Test a managed bean using EL. We cheat and use the request object.
    Assert.assertEquals("MyName", server.getManagedBeanValue("#{request.getParameter('form1:name')}"));
  }

}

Does anybody have a hint for my problem?

Thanks,

Stephan

I think I see your problem.  You need two beans.xml files.  It's a little strange and it might change in the future.  But for now I'm pretty sure you need both of these

.addWebResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml")
.addManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"));

Hi Stan,

thanks for your answer. I checked my code and both beans.xml files have been already included to the WAR (the first one is a bit hidden behind .addResource(new File("src/test/resources/jsf", "index.xhtml")) ).

Therefore, I'm still stuck with this problem. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Stephan

I think perhaps the JSFUnit filter is not running?  Are you running on a servlet 3 container?  If so, which one?

If not you might be able to get this to work if you copy the declarations from the web-fragment.xml file that is inside arquillian-jsfunit.jar.  Put these declarations in your web.xml.  Note that the arquilllian-jsfunit.jar is created on the fly so you should find it in WEB-INF/lib.

Also, I might not be able to respond in a timely manner.

Hi,

I am having the same issue with the getting started application. I have changed the pom.xml and using embedded tomcat 6.

Actually the test method:

@Test
   @InitialPage("/index.faces")
   public void testInitialPage(JSFServerSession server, JSFClientSession client) throws IOException { ....

is getting null server. So this statement throws NullPointerException

Assert.assertEquals("/index.xhtml", server.getCurrentViewID());

Following is my web.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>

  </welcome-file-list> 

</web-app>

I am using the exact embedded-tomcat-6 pom code as given in arquillian-reference. I am really stuck here.

I haven't tried this on Tomcat 6 yet.  In order to use the JSFUnit annotations, you will need to follow the Arquillian instructions for CDI.  See http://docs.jboss.org/arquillian/reference/latest/en-US/html_single/#container.tomcat-embedded-6.

You might need to get some help from the Arquillian forum to get that working.

Hi Stan,

I'm running the test using a JBoss 6.final remote container configuration. How can I check if the JSFUnit filter is running?

Thanks,

Stephan
