maven single tests fail after 1st run

[King Lung Chiu]

Hi all,

I've noticed a very weird problem with Netbeans 6.7 and 6.8 Maven projects: 'Test File' always fails after the 1st run for tests that use JPA named queries, with error message "Named Query Not Found".

I've attached a minimal project for you to try. It uses:
- JUnit 4.4
- Hibernate 3.2.6 + HSQL db for in-memory DB
- Spring 2.5.6 to inject EntityManager into the test class AppTest
- JPA annotation to define a named query in DummyEntity.java

On my local machine, I'm using Maven 2.2.1 and have set Netbeans to use the external Maven.

You'll notice that the first time you Test-File AppTest.java (Ctrl-F6), all 3 test cases run fine. But testNamedQueries() fails on successive Ctrl-F6. If you clean your project, then the first Ctrl-F6 succeeds again, and the rest fail again. Also, whole project tests (Alt-F6) always succeed.

I've also tried running the single-file test via the Maven surefire plugin manually outside Netbeans: they always succeed. So the problem seems to be inside Netbeans.

Any ideas how to fix that?

thanks a lot, cheers.

Bump! Anyone?

Surely there are some NB Maven users that write tests for JPA code.

thanks again.

could be related to compile on save being enabled for tests. if it
doesn't work for you, just disable it in project properties.

Fixed! Thanks alot Milos.

Just wondering, why does compile on save cause problems here? (I had it on for Test Only which caused the problem)

thanks again, cheers,

I cannot tell without actually examining the project. Generally, the
more configuration in the pom, the more likely the IDE's own test runner
will fail.
