I have studied the forum, yet I am having trouble simply getting the most basic test to work--a single TestNG unit test extending SeamTest with a single method with Assert.assertTrue(true). That's it. No FacesContext simulation or anything remotely complex. I haven't seen anything in the documentation or in the Yuan book that might help. Can you please provide just a basic tutorial on the configuration necessary to make SeamTest work? JAR files, configuration files like components.xml and their contents and where they should be, any other kinds of special settings, etc. It is really frustrating to be having so much trouble with something so basic. Thanks.
