TypeNotPresentExceptionProxy error when launching JUnit automation
When I launch a test with an automation JUnit (Selenium), it fails under specific conditions.
Working: If I launch using Maven Project without specifying a Test Class, it runs every test found in the project and this functions perfectly.
Failing: However, when I specify a test class (still using Maven Project), the test fails with an TypeNotPresentExceptionProxy error.
* Running without the Use Maven Project checkbox is not really viable, the classpath would be impossibly long.
Here is the stack trace:

Information that might be useful:
- The project is local on the host.
- The projects normally builds as a war
- The project uses spring 4, with annotations and spring boot
- We use QA Complete 10
Looking over I found that this error is likely to occur when using annotions with specified classes as parameter on test classes.
I our case, our test class has the following annotations:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = { TomcatApplication.class })
@WebAppConfiguration
@IntegrationTest({ "server.port:0", "spring.datasource.platform=fonc" })
@DirtiesContext
public class MyTestClass{
...
}
I cannot really change the use of these annotations in my project, so I would like to understand what can be done to have the test work with only one specified test class.
