Maven dependency for testing using Jersey Test Framework

Question

I am trying to test a Restful service using Jersey Test Framework , I have the following code in place.

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import javax.json.JsonException;
import org.junit.Test;

import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource;
import com.sun.jersey.test.framework.*;
import com.sun.jersey.test.framework.AppDescriptor;
import com.sun.jersey.test.framework.JerseyTest;
import com.sun.jersey.test.framework.WebAppDescriptor;


public class MakeSureTest extends JerseyTest{

    @Override
    protected AppDescriptor configure() {
        return new WebAppDescriptor.Builder().build();
    }

    @Test
    public void testUserFetchesSuccess() throws JsonException,
            URISyntaxException {


        WebResource webResource = client().resource("http://localhost:8080");
        String encodedParam = null;
        try {
            encodedParam = URLEncoder.encode("customertransactions/retrievetransactions/2015/04/25", "UTF-8");
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        VigLinkComission vigLinkComission = webResource.path(encodedParam)
                .get(MyComission.class);
    }

/*  @Test(expected = UniformInterfaceException.class)
    public void testUserNotFound() {
        WebResource webResource = client().resource("http://localhost:8080/");
        JsonObject json = webResource.path("/rest-test-tutorial/user/id/666")
                .get(JsonObject.class);
    }
*/
}

I have the following Maven dependencies.

However when I do a Maven clean install from with in eclipse I see the following compilation error which is not shown in the eclipse IDE by the way , can someone let me know why I see an error in the Maven build? what is still missing from the Maven dependency list to let me use Jersey Test Framework ?

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project MyTracker: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

Answer 1

I suspect your Maven project does not have the correct directory structure.

The class in question (MakeSureTest) should under the src/test/java directory, also under an appropriate package structure.

Try organizing your classes that way and issue mvn clean compile.
