Test GWT composite component with ui binder using GwtTestCase? - gwt

I'm writing a simple test class extending GwtTestCase for a component created with UiBinder, and running with mvn gwt:test fails as below.
The problem seems similar to: How to test a gwt composite component with ui binder using GwtTestCase?; other tests for components that are not created with UiBinder run fine with the current project configuration.
The user.agent contains gecko1_8. I tried running from IntelliJ with -Dgwt.args="-war www-test -runStyle HtmlUnit:IE8" but I encountered another issue (net.sourceforge.htmlunit.corejs.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot read property "__gwtDevModeHook:com.mypackage.MyEntryPoint.Junit").

It looks like your project has some MenuGenerator that it is using which is calling JClassType.getMetaDataTags, a method which seems to no longer exist. This method existed on an interface HasMetadata, which was deleted in 2014, but was deprecated back in 2009, 12 years ago - as of that time it no longer functioned (according to the commit message).
Searching the web for the full classname of ClassMenuGenerator (and the package structure) shows that it was part of this project formerly hosted on Google Code, archived when that service shut down: Productive GWT. Those projects can be migrated to github, but I only found one such migration had happened, and even in that copy, this issue has not been fixed - the fork is probably not maintained.
The good news is that fixing it should be easy, since as noted above, the metadata feature hasn't actually done anything since 2009, so you can probably just fork and remove the code that calls those metadata methods. Compiling the project against a recent version of GWT will also make it easier to figure out if there are any other issues lurking that might also cause problems.

Where is the default value of the organizationName is coming from in sbt

sbt defines the organizationName setting as SettingKey[String] (see Keys). When starting an sbt build in an empty directory, one can inspect the default value of organizationName:
> inspect organizationName
[info] Setting: java.lang.String = default
[info] Description:
[info] Organization full/formal name.
[info] Provided by:
[info] {file:/Users/bene/workspace/sbt/test/}test/*:organizationName
[info] Defined at:
[info] (sbt.Classpaths) Defaults.scala:1174
[info] Dependencies:
[info] *:organization
[info] Reverse dependencies:
[info] *:projectInfo
[info] Delegates:
[info] *:organizationName
[info] {.}/*:organizationName
[info] */*:organizationName
So the organizationName setting defaults to "default". Now the question is, where is the default value coming from?
Although it may not be completely obvious, all the information is already there. The sbt output gives us a first hint:
[info] Defined at:
[info] (sbt.Classpaths) Defaults.scala:1174
In line 1174 in Default.scala we can see, that organizationName falls back to the value of organization. Inspecting the organization setting gives us the next hint:
> inspect organization
[info] Setting: java.lang.String = default
[info] Description:
[info] Organization/group ID.
[info] Provided by:
[info] {file:/Users/bene/workspace/sbt/test/}test/*:organization
[info] Defined at:
[info] (sbt.Classpaths) Defaults.scala:1173
[info] (sbt.Build) Build.scala:58
[info] Dependencies:
[info] *:normalizedName
[info] *:thisProject
[info] Reverse dependencies:
[info] *:organizationName
[info] *:projectId
[info] Delegates:
[info] *:organization
[info] {.}/*:organization
[info] */*:organization
Finally, in Build.scala:58 we can find the mapping from a missing organization to "default".

<artifactId>gwt-dev</artifactId>
<version>2.8.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
A few years late, but I just ran into the same issue.
Got the same exception when trying to run GWT in Super Dev mode after adding Tomcat runtime to another project in my Eclipse workspace.
Adding a Tomcat Server to one of the projects will likely add it to other projects (Eclipse Bug) and this may cause dependency issues.
To resolve it:
Remove Tomcat dependency from all related projects build path, clean and rebuild.

It seems that you are missing the scala-reflect package from your class path. I'd suggest looking at some of the sample pom's (like learning spark, or some of the other databricks ones) and using one of those as a starting point for your build.
I got same issue, check your java version in your pom. it must be 1.8

Any Idea ?
Best way to fix it is to just update your gwt-maven-plugin to 2.6.0 too.
In previous versions (up to and including 2.5.1), the <htmlunit> configuration property defaulted to FF3, but that value is no longer valid in GWT 2.6.0. gwt-maven-plugin 2.6.0 now defaults the property to FF17.
It looks like GWT 2.6.0 no more supports FireFox v3. FF3 has been replaced with FF17.
