Problem

The following error occurred when running a JUni test

Solution

After Googling a while, I noticed some classes are cached inside the Spring context. Theses classes cannot be accessed from the classloader which is used to startup the JUnit Testrunner. So the dependency injection fails.

The following step solved this issue:

  • Add in your home folder (e.g.: /Users/jochen/) the file: junit.properties
  • Provide the following file contents:
    loading=false
