Integration Tests with Vaadin & Spring

Hi.

I tried out Vaadin Spring add-on and it works perfectly. I'm using @SpringUI, @SpringView ect.
This setup works and I can use @Autowired and all the Spring annotations (@Component, @Repository, ect.)

But now I want to automatically test my whole application during builds. Currently I have two solutions:

• run locally TestBench UI-Click Tests
• takes a lot of time (> 30mins)
• runs locally only => triggered manually
• run JUnit tests
• very fast
• runs with every automated build
• quick response

But the biggest lack is that integration tests are missing.
Spring provides these (http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.1.x/spring-framework-reference/html/testing.html)

I tried it with:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextHierarchy({
    @ContextConfiguration("/applicationContext.xml")
})
public class UserBCTest
{
    @Autowired
    private UserBC userBC;
    
    @Test
    public void getUserTest()
    {
        //...
    }
}

I run the build (mvn clean package) ant when tests are executed I get the following exception:

10:49:16,383 DEBUG AbstractDirtiesContextTestExecutionListener:141  - After test class: context [DefaultTestContext@5dbe30be testClass = UserBCTest, testInstance = [null], testMethod = [null], testException = [null], mergedContextConfiguration = [MergedContextConfiguration@4fe89c24 testClass = UserBCTest, locations = '{file:C:/Users/ckarmowski/workspace/uvw_app_fusion/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml}', classes = '{}', contextInitializerClasses = '[]', activeProfiles = '{}', propertySourceLocations = '{}', propertySourceProperties = '{}', contextLoader = 'org.springframework.test.context.support.DelegatingSmartContextLoader', parent = [null]]], class annotated with @DirtiesContext [false] with mode [null].

It seems that the Vaadin - Spring integration is not complete at this point.

Questions:Is it planed to get Spring Integrations tests out of the box when using Vaadin Spring add-on?Or do I need to solve this by my own?

My Spring dependencies are the following:
  

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
            <artifactId>vaadin-spring</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
            <version>4.2.4.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
            <version>4.2.4.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

Thanks in advance,
Christoph
