DGG 2nd: Service Injection in TagLib Integration test fails (1.2-SNAPSHOT)

[A_Grails_User]

Hi there,

I'm referring to "The Definitive Guide to Grails Second Edition" chapter 8, p191 et seq
File: test/integration/com/g2one/gtunes/AlbumArtTagLibTests.groovy

The injection of the AlbumArtService into the AlbumArtTagLib via a property that
matches the bean naming conventions for the AlbumArtService does not work:

class AlbumArtTagLibTests extends GroovyPagesTestCase {

    def albumArtService

    void testAlbumArtServiceIsNotNull() {
        assertNotNull "AlbumArtService Instance is null!", albumArtService
    }
   
    ...
}

The albumArtService instance is null, the integration test will fail.

Does anyone else having problems with injecting a service into an integration test?

Cheers

Tests don't have services injected into them.  If you are integration testing a tag lib and the tag lib has a service it will be injected in.  If you are unit testing a tag lib, which I suggest is the better option, then the service is not injected into it either.

Cheers,
Glenn

Does anyone else having problems with injecting a service into an

Integration and functional tests do.

Does this mean it is a bug?

It's not a bug. I ran the test inside Idea as unit test. This is obviously a bad idea because it is an integration test. When I run my test in grails everything works as expected. Sorry, my bad.
