Has anyone sucessfully used the

JsonViewTest

trait in the

views-json

plugin? My project uses this during integration tests but (Grails 4) it's now throwing an error:

Copy code

Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'grails_plugin_json_view_test_JsonViewTest__messageSource'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.context.MessageSource' available: expected single matching bean but found 2: messageSource,io.micronaut.spring.context.MicronautApplicationContext(Secondary)

The

JsonViewTest

trait does indeed have:

Copy code

@Autowired(required = false)
MessageSource messageSource = new StaticMessageSource()

Anyone else come across this?

In case anyone else comes across this; I think this is actually covered in the documentation (my fault for not reading it thoroughly...). The solution is to add

org.grails:views-json-testing-support:{version}

dependency and then implement in the test class using

JsonViewUnitTest

instead of

JsonViewTest

...and using

JsonViewUnitTest

breaks dependency injection for

ApplicationTagLib

and

AssetsTagLib

My final solution was to take a copy of the

JsonViewTest

code into my own trait and replace the

messageSource

DI with my own, 'manually' obtained instance at runtime (in the test).
