Spring boot Failed to load applicationcontext

Question

Have a springboot application which reads files from source directory using file-inbound-adapter.Written junit testcases for it. Junit testcase execute successfully in my local eclipse. but facing issue while running it from bamboo/jenkins which is deployed in another machine.

Unable to load the applicationcontext while executing spring boot junit testcases. 'filesInChannel.adapter.source' Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Source directory [/filepath] does not exist.

Whats the route cause for this. Any suggestion/advice on this? is it due to some permission issue in bamboo deployed machine?

Have written a seperate configuration for test case. But not sure why its pointing to original xml to load application context while executing test cases.

Error:

   java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext
    Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'filesInChannel.adapter': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'filesInChannel.adapter.source' while setting bean property 'source'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'filesInChannel.adapter.source': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Source directory [/filepath] does not exist.

source Code of file-process.xml :

<file:inbound-channel-adapter id="filesInChannel"
        directory="/filepath/" auto-startup="false" scanner="recursiveScanner" auto-create-directory="true">
                <integration:poller id="poller" max-messages-per-poll="${max.messages.per.poll}" fixed-rate="${message.read.frequency}" task-executor="pollingExecutor">
            <integration:transactional transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
        </integration:poller>       
    </file:inbound-channel-adapter>

test case:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@ContextConfiguration(classes = TestConfig.class)
public class FileApplicationTests {

    @Test
    public void contextLoads() {
    }

}

TestConfig:

@Configuration
@ImportResource({ "classpath:test-file-process.xml" })
public class TestConfig {

}

Can you share the log output when your test runs? I would guess that your test's inbound channel adapter is being defined first and then overridden by the adapter defined in file-process.xml. — Andy Wilkinson
yes correct. can you provide the solution for this. Have attached the log where its overriding — Jessie

I think the problem here that <file:inbound-channel-adapter> creates actually several beans, where one of them is FileReadingMessageSource with the condition like:

Assert.isTrue(this.directory.exists(),
            "Source directory [" + this.directory + "] does not exist.");

just in its afterPropertiesSet() independently of the auto-startup="false".

I'm afraid exactly this bean is not overridden, just because its id is auto-generated.

That's how another config doesn't help.

I suggest you to take a look into the profiles support: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/core.html#beans-definition-profiles

And wrap that <file:inbound-channel-adapter> into something like:

<beans:beans profile="!test">
</beans:beans>
