Thread: beanContainer.getBeanByType(..) works from Main but not from test

Hi,

I have a factory class that returns a bean fine using org.cdisource.beancontainer.BeanContainer calling ...

beanContainer.getBeanByType(..)

... when I run it from a ..Main class.
If I run the same lines of code in a test I get ...

org.cdisource.beancontainer.BeanNotFoundException: Could not locate a bean of type xxxxx

Is there some step I've missed to get this working from a unit test (.. really an integration test - strictly speaking)?
I have a beans.xml in src/main/resources/META-INF
I've tried putting the same in src/test/resources/META-INF - but this makes no difference.
As far as I understand though this shouldn't be necessary anyway as there is no CDI use in the test itself - only in the factory class that is used in the test.

I've compared the runtime and compile classpaths for main and test and apart from the mocking related dependencies there is no difference.

Could someone give me any pointers of where to look next?

Regards

Thanks - how would I find out where the beanContainer looks when run from a main class and when run from the test?

The factory is in a package like ...
com.abc.zyx.stuff
- this contains
- MyFactoryImpl.java
- and also the interface MyServiceBean.java
The bean I'm trying to inject is in ...
com.abc.zyx.stuff.mybeans
- this contains the bean MyServiceBeanImpl.java

The tests are under "Test Packages" in Netbeans IDE but are also in the package ..
com.abc.zyx.stuff.
I have a main (which I can run successfully - using beanContainer.getBeanByType in MyFactoryImpl and giving me an instance of MyServiceBeanImpl) in
com.abc.zyx.main

I also tried adding another main class to the test packages and this works when I run it - but the unit tests in the same package give me the BeanNotFoundException.

Any ideas?

thanks

I was running the main from Netbeans IDE. I can also run the test from Maven but I don't know how to configure maven's pom file yet.
I'll try to see if I can run this from the command line. Thanks for the questions. I keep hitting a brick wall on this one and you are giving me new things to think about.
