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

An alternative would be to unregister the bean post processor that schedules the events. This can be done by simply putting the following class on the classpath of your tests:

public class UnregisterScheduledProcessor implements BeanFactoryPostProcessor {

    @Override
    public void postProcessBeanFactory(final ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException {
        for (String beanName : beanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.class)) {
            ((DefaultListableBeanFactory)beanFactory).removeBeanDefinition(beanName);
        }
    }
}

While this is quite simple and seems to do the job, beware that I did not test this very much or check for possible implications of removing a defined bean from the registry or making sure that ordering of PostProcessors won't be an issue...
