Spring Boot Testing: Unable to start EmbeddedWebApplicationContext due to missing EmbeddedServletContainerFactory bean - spring

Question

I am attempting to test the main Spring Security login process by running a test container in Spring Boot, using, I think the things that they suggest.
Here is the maven pom:

My test application context:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = {MvcConfig.class,SecurityConfig.class})
#WebAppConfiguration
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#IntegrationTest
public class TestApplicationContext {
#Bean
public EmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainer() {
TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory factory = new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory();
factory.setPort(9000);
factory.setSessionTimeout(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
//factory.addErrorPages(new ErrorPage(HttpStatus.404, "/notfound.html"));
return factory;
}
}
and here is the specific test:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class ApplicationIntegrationTest extends TestApplicationContext {
MockMvc mockMvc;
#Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;
#Resource(name="springSecurityFilterChain")
private FilterChainProxy springSecurityFilterChain;
#Before
public void setup() {
mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(wac).addFilter(springSecurityFilterChain).build();
}
#Test
public void thatViewBootstrapUsesHttpNotFound() throws Exception {
MvcResult result = mockMvc.perform(post("/login")
.param("username", "user").param("password", "password")).andReturn();
Cookie c = result.getResponse().getCookie("my-cookie");
assertThat(c.getValue().length(), greaterThan(10));
// No cookie; 401 Unauthorized
mockMvc.perform(get("/")).andExpect(status().isUnauthorized());
// With cookie; 200 OK
mockMvc.perform(get("/").cookie(c)).andExpect(status().isOk());
// Logout, and ensure we're told to wipe the cookie
result = mockMvc.perform(delete("/session")).andReturn();
c = result.getResponse().getCookie("my-cookie");
assertThat(c.getValue().length(), is(0));
}
}
and here's the error:

As you can see, I tried specifying the container in the config, but this doesn't seem to work. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
thanks

Answer 1

You're actually not setting up the container in a config class, you're doing it in the test class. Move that #Bean to a #Configuration and you might have more luck.
