Seam Integration Test failing new FacesRequest(){}

[leowenttechie]

i am trying to use SeamTest for integration testing. what I am able to run Unit test cases. When I am trying to run Integration test cases then I am ending up in problem. This is the code snippet which I am trying to run in my test case :

        @Test( alwaysRun=true )
        public void testLoginPage() throws Exception
        {
                new FacesRequest("/security/login.xhtml")
                {
                        @Override
                        protected void updateModelValues() throws Exception
                        {
                                System.out.println("helkjfskljdfsafdasfkhkajsfd");
                                assert "helo".equals( "helo" );
                        }
                }.run();
        }

When I am running this test case then this is the exception I am getting. I am not able to understand why is that :

   [testng] FAILED: testLoginPage

What can I do to avoid this.

Make sure that the richfaces-impl.jar isn't on the test classpath iirc.

[leowenttechie]

do i have to exclude any other jar from the classpath. I saw in couple of example ant scripts with seam/example, some seam jars were excluded from the test classpath, calling it as jboss-embedded hack. Do I have to do that. Though just to make a point I am not using EJB in my applcation. I am using normal SEAM pojos.

Also when I see the console I see all the SEAM components being loaded on startup but when I trying accessing them using

Components.getInstance(xyz.class, ScopeType.CONVERSATION);

It says there is no Conversation context present. Do I have to anything for that.

Also for all the test classes I am writing extending from SeamTest loads the Seam environment loading all the Components all over again. Is there any way to avoid that ?

Take a look at what seam-gen generates, it is correct.

This is redesigned in Seam 2.1

richfaces-impl.jar is not there

I am not using EJB anywhere and I am deploying my application on tomcat. I dont have the Scopes (session, conversation) available and even I dont have the FacesContext available. One of my class looks for:
  

@In (create=true)
private FacesContext facesContext

It returns facesCOntext as null

Do we have a documentation which i can follow for configuring test framework for my application.
