I couldn't find a clear example after a quick Google so hopefully this is useful.
There's a good chance that there's a better auto-magical way to get the job injected but I haven't poked through the testing code to work it out :)
package au.com.refactor class TempCleanerJobTests extends GrailsUnitTestCase { def tempCleanerJob def grailsApplication protected void setUp() { super.setUp() tempCleanerJob = grailsApplication.mainContext.getBean(TempCleanerJob) } protected void tearDown() { super.tearDown() } void testCleanNothing() { tempCleanerJob.execute() } }
