Spring Boot properties in 'application.yml' not loading from JUnit Test

Question

What am I doing wrong? I\'m using this little standalone App which runs and finds my src/main/resources/config/application.yml. The same configuration doesn\'t work

Answer 1

Try this:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = TestApplication.class, 
    initializers = ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer.class)
public class SomeTestClass {
    ...
}

EDIT:

For Spring Boot version 1.5+, SpringApplicationConfiguration was removed in favour of SpringBootTest or direct use of SpringBootContextLoader.

You can still use initializers parameter with ContextConfiguration annotation.
