Jersey Test fails when running method from main package -> NullPointerException at target(...)

Question

So I have tested it with this example:

Path: pkg > src > test > java > rest > SimpleJerseyTest

public class SimpleJerseyTest extends JerseyTest {

    @Path("hello")
    public static class HelloResource {
        @GET
        public String getHello() {
            return "Hello World!";
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected Application configure() {
        return new ResourceConfig(HelloResource.class);
    }

    @Test
    public void test() {
        Response response = target("hello").request().get();

        assertEquals("Http Response should be 200: ", Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(), response.getStatus());
        assertEquals("Http Content-Type should be: ", MediaType.TEXT_HTML, response.getHeaderString(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE));

        String content = response.readEntity(String.class);
        System.out.println("Gotten response: " + content);
        assertEquals("Content of ressponse is: ", "Hello World!", content);
    }
}

This is the output of the test:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".

But when I put the REST service class at in the main package, it doesnt work anymore (NullPointerException):

Package: pkg > src > main > java > rest > BookService

@Path("books")
public class BookService  {
    @GET
    public String getAll() {
        return "test";
    }
}

And then the Test:

Package: pkg > src > test > rest > BookServiceTest

class BookServiceTest extends JerseyTest {
    @Override
    protected Application configure() {
        return new ResourceConfig(BookService.class);
    }

    @Test
    void get() {
        Response response = target("books").request().get();
    }
}

This is the output of the test:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.glassfish.jersey.test.JerseyTest.target(JerseyTest.java:541)
    at org.glassfish.jersey.test.JerseyTest.target(JerseyTest.java:555)
    at rest.BookServiceTest.get(BookServiceTest.java:21)

// ...



Process finished with exit code -1

What is the difference? Does anyone have a clue, why it works with a static inner class, but not with a external one?

Answer 1

Figured it out - I used the wrong import.

Instead of import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test it should be import org.junit.Test.
