Following the examples in Yuan/Heute chapter 21 re the above, I cannot see how to inject a FacesMessage. My original class has: @In | FacesMessages facesMessages; followed by facesMessages.add(... as per usual and my test class extends SeamTest. However I seem to need to bind the facesMessages variable explicitly within a test method in order that this variable is bound in the testing context. I therefore tried: setField(action, "facesMessages", FacesMessages.instance()); But this generates an IllegalStateException, stating that there is no active conversation context (as a result of FacesMessages.instance() checking for Contexts.isConversationContextActive(), in turn accessing the thread local variable, which appears therefore to be null. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I had thought I would be able to get at this and other related variables via the SeamTest class but I don't see how. Thanks in advance.
