Spring Test fails: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/cglib/transform/impl/MemorySafeUndeclaredThrowableStrategy

Question

I am using spring-data for persisting entities The classes look like

@Repository
public interface NetworkRepository extends JpaSpecificationExecutor<Network>,
        JpaRepository<Network, Long> {
}

and NetworkRepositoryService as

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import com.org.comma.persistence.entities.Network;
import com.org.comma.persistence.repository.NetworkRepository;

@Service
@Transactional
public class NetworkRepositoryService {
    @Autowired
    NetworkRepository networkRepository;

    @Nonnull
    public Network save(@Nonnull final Network network) {
        return networkRepository.save(network);
    }
}

The @Test looks like

@ActiveProfiles("development")
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {H2DatabaseConfig.class})
public class NetworkRepositoryTest {

    @Autowired
    NetworkRepositoryService networkRepositoryService;

    @Test
    public void testAllNetworks() {
        final Network network = new Network(1, "US", true, DateTime.now());
        {
            final Network networkInDb = networkRepositoryService.save(network);
            assertNotNull(networkInDb.getId());
        }

        {
//            final List<Network> networks = networkRepository.findAll();
            final List<Network> networks = Collections.emptyList();
            assertFalse(networks.isEmpty());
            assertEquals(1, networks.size());
            assertEquals(network.getNetworkId(), networks.get(0).getNetworkId());
            assertEquals(network.getName(), networks.get(0).getName());
            assertEquals("Network must be active", network.isActive(), networks.get(0).isActive());
            assertEquals(network.getCreatedAt(), networks.get(0).getCreatedAt());
            assertNull(networks.get(0).getCreatedBy());
            assertNull(networks.get(0).getUpdatedAt());
            assertNull(networks.get(0).getUpdatedBy());
        }
    }
}

The dependencies looks as

What is possibly I am not doing right here?

Answer 1

MemorySafeUndeclaredThrowableStrategy was removed in Spring 4.0.2. Please see here for futher information. You should use spring 4.0.4 with CGLIB 3.1

Answer 2

As per @Jens answer, this is what I changed in my pom which fixed it
