Integration testing Griffon services

I wanted to create an integration test for some Griffon services - where I wanted to set up some data first, then check that the service produced the appropriate results. Therefore, I wanted the database working normally, but I needed access to a configured Griffon application and the required services.

My issue was how to get hold of the services? They don't automatically get injected as I first expected. But luckily, StackOverflow and Andres to the rescue:

	import griffon.test.GriffonUnitTestCase
	/**
	* Date: 18/02/13
	*/
	class ReportServiceTests extends GriffonUnitTestCase {
	GriffonApplication app
	ReportService reportService
	ImporterService importerService
	protected void setUp() {
	super.setUp()
	reportService = app.serviceManager.findService('reportService')
	importerService = app.serviceManager.findService('importerService')
	}
	public void testStats() {
	// implement tests here using services...
	}
	}
