java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A ServletContext is required to configure default servlet handling

Question

I have the following test class:

@ActiveProfiles({ \"DataTC\", \"test\" })
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {BaseTestC         


        

Answer 1

It seems like you are missing

@WebAppConfiguration

from your test class.

The documentation states

The resource base path is used behind the scenes to create a MockServletContext which serves as the ServletContext for the test’s WebApplicationContext.

Typically a Servlet container would provide the ServletContext. Since you are in a testing environment, you need a fake. @WebAppConfiguration provides that.
