I've never used StrutsTestCase before but here's my unit test setup method:
public void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
setContextDirectory(new File("C:/Projects/Main"));
//explicitly define the path to web.xml
setServletConfigFile("C:/Projects/Main/conf/web.xml");
//explicitly define the path to the struts-config for the module being
tested
setConfigFile("C:/Projects/Main/conf/action-servlet.xml");
setConfigFile("C:/Projects/Main/conf/struts-config.xml");
setConfigFile("C:/Projects/Main/conf/tiles-defs.xml");
}
And in my actually test I have:
public void testSavePerson() {
log.debug(".......running testSavePerson()");
setRequestPathInfo("/Person");
addRequestParameter("action","create");
actionPerform();
verifyForward("create");
verifyForwardPath("/tiles/PersonEdit.jsp");
verifyNoActionErrors();
}
Is that what you mean by initializing struts? Thanks for your reply.

Are you initializing Struts before you attempt to call Action.execute?
Or, are you just doing "new MyAction().execute(...)" ?
If you don't initialize Struts, your unit tests will never work.
Struts 2 has what appears to be a much more flexible action
architecture, which makes unit testing much easier. If you are near the
beginning of your development cycle, you should consider upgrading in
order to facilitate your unit testing.
