Cucumber with Spring Boot 1.4: Dependencies not injected when using @SpringBootTest and @RunWith(SpringRunner.class)

I am writing a new app and trying to do BDD using cucumber and Spring Boot 1.4. Working code is as shown below:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

I had the same problem. The comment from above directed me to the solution

The problematic code in cucumber-spring seems to be this github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/blob/master/spring/src/main‌​/…

After adding the annotation @ContextConfiguration the tests are working as expected.

So what i've got is the following...

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(plugin = {"json:target/cucumber.json", "pretty"}, features = "src/test/features")
public class CucumberTest {
}

@ContextConfiguration
@SpringBootTest
public abstract class StepDefs {
}

public class MyStepDefs extends StepDefs {

    @Inject
    Service service;

    @Inject
    Repository repository;

    [...]

}

I hope this helps you further
