How to exclude *AutoConfiguration classes in Spring Boot JUnit tests?

Question

I tried:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude=CrshAutoConfiguration.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = Appl

I think that using the @EnableAutoConfiguration annotation on a test class won't work if you are using @SpringApplicationConfiguration to load your Application class. The thing is that you already have a @EnableAutoConfiguration annotation in the Application class that does not exclude the CrshAutoConfiguration.Spring uses that annotation instead of the one on your test class to do the auto configuration of your beans.

I think that your best bet is to use a different application context for your tests and exclude the CrshAutoConfiguration in that class.

I did some tests and it seems that @EnableAutoConfiguration on the test class is completely ignore if you are using the @SpringApplicationConfiguration annotation and the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.
