java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.isAsyncStarted() while using Mockito with Junit
Solution 1
This sounds very much like you have the wrong version of the servlet API in the class path.
Check when isAsyncStarted
was added to the API and make sure the one you reference in your classpath is at least that version or higher.
In order to find the location where the 'wrong' class version is comming from you can use the
-verbose:class
Argument for java. It will list all the classes loaded and if I remember correctly whery they get loaded from. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html for details.
Solution 2
This happens when your development and production environments are using different servlet API versions.
While building with tomcat7(for example) it supports servlet 3 and hence you will not receive any error.
While doing the same on a lower version tomcat, it will throw error.
Solution:
Either upgrade one of the environments to support servlet 3 or just downgrade your code to use servlet 2.5
Solution 3
Error message indicates that you have wrong version of Servlet API in your classpath.
If you are using Gradle the execute
gradle dependencies
analyze the dependency tree and exclude the 'servlet-api' dependencies with version less than 3.0. You can do the following to exclude
compile ('javax.servlet:jsp-api:2.0'){
exclude module : 'servlet-api'
}
There can be multiple dependencies which further include servlet-api-2.x. Exclude all those

I am trying to get my feet wet with TDD. I am trying to write unit test cases for controllers using Mockito in conjunction with MockMvc and Junit.
But I am getting a runtime error thereby failing my test. At first I was facing problem in initializing the MockMvc instance in the setup due to failure in finding the
javax.servlet.SessionCookieConfig
.This I resolved by downloading the
javax.servlet
api and configuring it into the build path of the project but then I am facing thejava.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.isAsyncStarted()
while using
perform()
on the MockMvc instance.Can anyone tell me what to do with this kind of dependencies as I think it is occurring due to the incompatible server servlet-api and javax.servlet api.
EDIT : I am posting the code I am using using for unit testing but I don't think it would be any help but just in case :
@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class) public class MyControllerTest { @InjectMocks private MyController myController = new MyController(); @Mock private MyService myService = new MyServiceImpl(); private MockMvc mockMvc; @Before public void setUp(){ this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(myController).build(); } @Test public void testList() throws Exception{ A a = new A(); a = createMockClassA(); Mockito.when(myService.getServiceForA(Mockito.anyMapOf(String.class, String.class))).thenReturn(a); MvcResult result = this.mockMvc.perform(get("/somePath/")).param("someExpectedParam","value").andReturn(); System.out.println(result.getResponse().getContentAsString()); } private static A createMockClassA(){ A a = new A(); a.setId(i); a.setTitle("mock-" + i); return a; } }
