Apache Camel - No Consumers available on endpoint in JUNIT test

Question

I'm using Camel 2.13.1 and have a weird behaviour. If I want to test my routes I've written in XML.

I always get the message on one route that no consumers are available. If I deploy this on Tomcat everything is working fine. Even on startup I can see the log that clearly states that the route is consumed.

My routes looks like that:

<route id="demo-polling-consumer">
  <from uri="timer:demo-polling?fixedRate=true&amp;period=60s" />
  <to uri="bean:demo?method=selectDemoCustomer" />
  <to uri="direct-vm:demo-get-new-orders" />
  <split>
    <simple>${body}</simple>
    <to uri="direct-vm:demo-get-order-details" />
  </split>
</route>

<route id="epunkt-get-new-jobadverts">
  <from uri="direct-vm:demo-get-order-details" />
  <to uri="bean:demo?method=getOrderDetail" />
</route>

I start the test like that:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@DirtiesContext(classMode = ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:spring-module.xml" })
public class FirstBirdContextTest {

  @EndpointInject(uri = "mock:out")
  private MockEndpoint mockOut;
  @Produce(uri = "direct:in")
  private ProducerTemplate in;

  @Test
  public void testPayloadIsTransformed() throws InterruptedException, FileNotFoundException, JAXBException {

  }

I basically just start my spring-context. The spring-module.xml loads multiple camel-context.xml files.

The error says:

org.apache.camel.component.directvm.DirectVmConsumerNotAvailableException: No consumers available on endpoint: Endpoint[direct-vm:demo-get-order-details]. Exchange[Message: [[Ljava.lang.Object;@6dd62653]]

The startup log says

[ main] SpringCamelContext INFO Route: orderdetails started and consuming from: Endpoint[direct-vm:demo-get-order-details]

Again. If I deploy that on tomcat everything works fine.

This route should have a from, that is currently missing

   <route id="epunkt-get-new-jobadverts">
        <to uri="direct-vm:demo-get-order-details" />
        <to uri="bean:demo?method=getOrderDetail" />
    </route>
