How to run JUnit SpringJUnit4ClassRunner with Parametrized?

Answer 1

Handle application context by yourself

What worked for me was having a @RunWith(Parameterized.class) test class that managed the application context "by hand".

To do that I created an application context with the same string collection that would be in the @ContextConfiguration. So instead of having

@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:spring-config-file1.xml",
    "classpath:spring-config-file2.xml" })

I had

ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {
            "classpath:spring-config-file1.xml", "classpath:spring-config-file2.xml"  });

And for each @Autowired I needed I fetched it by hand from the created context:

SomeClass someBean = ctx.getBean("someClassAutowiredBean", SomeClass.class);

Do not forget to close the context at the end:

((ClassPathXmlApplicationContext) ctx).close();
