Spring JUnit error

[Joe Harry]

Guys,

I have a JUnit test class which I run using Spring. Following is what I have configured to my JUnit type

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration( {"classpath:/config/common/applicationContext-common.xml", 
	"classpath:/config/core/applicationContext-core.xml", "classpath:/config/common/applicationContext-velocity-email.xml"})

When I try to run my test method, I get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext

What the heck is app-config.xml? I'm not referencing it anywhere. Suggestions on what might be wrong?

[Mark Spritzler]

Do you have any <import> tags in any of those configuration files? And maybe those <import> config files, have <import> tags. But somewhere you are looking up that config file.

Or do you have any Java COnfiguration classes with @Configuration that are @ImportResource other config files?

Good Luck.

Oh yes, I figured out what the problem was. My JUnit test class extends from another super class and in that super class, there was a reference to the aop-config.xml. I do not know who has added it. Guess it could be due to eclipse auto fill feature or something else. I removed it and it all started working again.
