Failed to Load Applicationcontext from Unit Test: Filenotfound

I am creating a Maven Spring project, which includes MVC, Data and Security. My Spring applicationContext-*.xml files are located at \src\main\resources\spring\
My TestCase is placed at \src\test\java\my\package\controller\ and its code is:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath:spring/applicationContext.xml",
"classpath:spring/applicationContext-jpa.xml",
"classpath:spring/applicationContext-security.xml" })
public class MyControllerTest extends TestCase {
@Autowired
private MyController myController;
@Test
public void myMethod_test() {
}
}
When I right click on the test class and run as JUnit, I get
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext
at org.springframework.test.context.CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate.loadContext(CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate.java:99)
at org.springframework.test.context.DefaultTestContext.getApplicationContext(DefaultTestContext.java:101)
at

[applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException:

[...]
If I try to remove applicationContext.xml from the locations, I still get exactly the same error. The complete stack trace is this:

Try with the relative path using *
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath*:spring/applicationContext.xml",
"classpath*:spring/applicationContext-jpa.xml",
"classpath*:spring/applicationContext-security.xml" })
If not look if your xml are really on resources/spring/.
Finally try just on without location
@ContextConfiguration({"classpath*:spring/applicationContext.xml"})
The other error that you´re showing is because you have this tag duplicated on applicationContext.xml and applicationContext-security.xml
Duplicate <global-method-security>
I added the spring folder to the build path and, after clean&build, it worked.
try as below
@ContextConfiguration (locations = "classpath*:/spring/applicationContext*.xml")
this will load all 3 of your application context xml file.
If you are using intellij, then try restarting intellij cache
- File-> Invalidate cache/restart
- clean and build project
See if it works, it worked for me.
For me, I was missing @ActiveProfile at my test class
@ActiveProfiles("sandbox")
class MyTestClass...
Give the below
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath*:/spring/test-context.xml"})
And in pom.xml give the following plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.20.1</version>
<configuration>
<additionalClasspathElements>
<additionalClasspathElement>${basedir}/src/test/resources</additionalClasspathElement>
</additionalClasspathElements>
</configuration>
Add in in pom.xml give the following plugin:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<configuration>
<useFile>false</useFile>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I faced the same error and realized that pom.xml had java 1.7 and STS compiler pointed to Java 1.8. Upon changing compiler to 1.7 and rebuild fixed the issue.
PS: This answer is not related to actual question posted but applies to similar error for app Context not loading
Check your run debug configuration. This value must be your main Spring Boot Aplication class
if different class you can YourMainAplication.java --> Right Click --> Run
Thats it!
I had the same problem and none of the previous answers have solved the issue for me.
I was getting the error due to the coexistence of spring-boot-starter-webflux and spring-boot-starter-tomcat in my pom.xml.
Excluding spring-boot-starter-tomcat from Test phase have solved the issue.
I used maven-surefire-plugin to do so :
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<classpathDependencyExcludes>
<classpathDependencyExclude>org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat</classpathDependencyExclude>
</classpathDependencyExcludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
spring-boot-starter-parent version : 2.6.3
The problem is insufficient memory to load context.
Try to set VM options:
-da -Xmx2048m -Xms1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m
