On accessing database through test I get play.exceptions.JPAException: The JPA context is not initialized

Question

I am trying to access the database through a class using PlayFremwork and writing a test

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import models.com.vlist.entity.classes.Playlist;
import org.junit.Test;
import play.db.jpa.JPA;
import play.db.jpa.Transactional;
import play.jobs.OnApplicationStart;
import play.mvc.Scope.Session;
public class PlaylistTest {
@Test
    @Transactional
    public void insertIntoPlaylist() {
        Playlist playlist = new Playlist();
        playlist.setId(1);
        playlist.setName("test");

        EntityManager em = JPA.em();
        em.persist(playlist);
    }
}

The error stacktrace is:


    play.exceptions.JPAException: The JPA context is not initialized. JPA Entity Manager automatically start when one or more classes annotated with the @javax.persistence.Entity annotation are found in the application.

How can I resolve this issue while writing test?

Thank you

FIXED!! By extending FunctionalTest

public class PlaylistTest extends FunctionalTest {

    @Test
    @Transactional
    public void insertIntoPlaylist() {
        Playlist playlist = new Playlist();
        playlist.setName("new_playlist_again");

        EntityManager em = JPA.em();
        em.persist(playlist);
    }
}

public class PlaylistTest extends FunctionalTest {

    @Test
    @Transactional
    public void insertIntoPlaylist() {
        Playlist playlist = new Playlist();
        playlist.setName("new_playlist_again");

        EntityManager em = JPA.em();
        em.persist(playlist);
    }
}
