NoClassDefFoundError

[kevboy]

I'm running unit tests with TestNG and EasyMock and I'm running into this error:

NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/web/bindery/event/shared/Event$Type
  at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0
  at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods
  at java.lang.Class.getMethod0
  at java.lang.Class.getMethod
  at org.easymock.internal.ObjectMethodsFilter.<init>
  at org.easymock.classextension.MocksControl.createMock
  at org.easymock.classextension.EasyMock.createMock

Here is the line that this happens on:

ClickEvent clickEvent = EasyMock.createMock(ClickEvent.class);

It seems that it can't find the Type class from SmartGWT's ClickEvent class. I've included all the GWT jars in my classpath but it still doesn't work.

I'm using SmartGWT 2.5p, GWT 2.0.3 and running my TestNG cases out of Eclipse.

Any ideas?

I did some searching around and it seems like com.google.web.bindery.event.shared.Event.Type is included in the GWT 2.3 jars. Does SmartGWT 2.5p depend on GWT 2.3? If so, is there a way around this (as we're not upgrading anytime soon)?

Thanks!

We do depend on some things in 2.3, and we're probably going to be requiring yet more recent versions soon. GWT 2.5, in particular, eliminates some long-standing JSNI-related bugs in core GWT that we have no way of completely working around.

There's not much we can do for you except offer the (very large, expensive effort) of maintaining a customer-specific fork for you so you can stay on GWT 2.0.3 a while longer.
