Disable @EnableScheduling on Spring Tests

Question

When I run my unit tests, it invokes my scheduled tasks. I want to prevent this behaviour, which is caused by the fact that I have @EnableScheduling on my main

Answer 1

I just parameterized my @Scheduled annotation with configurable delay times:

@Scheduled(fixedRateString = "${timing.updateData}", initialDelayString = "${timing.initialDelay}")

In my test application.yaml:

timing:
    updateData: 60000
    initialDelay: 10000000000

And main application.yaml:

timing:
    updateData: 60000
    initialDelay: 1

It's not turning it off but creating such a long delay, the tests will be long over before it runs. Not the most elegant solution but definitely one of the easiest I've found.
