Events in unit test

[allenc]

I added generation of a seam event to an existing method which causes this error in my unit test:

No event context active

org.jboss.seam.ScopeType.getContext(ScopeType.java:121) 
at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1999) 
at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1994) 
at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1967) 
at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1962) 
at org.jboss.seam.core.Events.instance(Events.java:157) 
at com.ols.cms.sas.SAS.icredit(SAS.java:50)

Here is the code that generates the event:

Events.instance().raiseEvent("transactionEvent", h.card, r);

I am using Seam 2.2.0.GA. The code works fine when I run it in JBoss-5.1.0.GA. It works fine in unit test when I exclude the event generation.

Do I need to do something to initialize the Event component or Context within a unit test?

It turns out what I really needed was to just disable event generation in unit tests. It is easy enough to call the observer from the test code. So I added this:

'
if (Events.exists()) Events.instance().raiseEvent(...
'

Problem solved.
