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

Here's another way: [Spring Boot v1.4.x]

@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "own")
public class OwnSettings {

    private String name;
    Getter & setters...

}

---

import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTestContextBootstrapper;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@BootstrapWith(SpringBootTestContextBootstrapper.class)
public class OwnSettingsTest {

  @Autowired
  private OwnSettings bean;

  @Test
  public void test() {
    bean.getName();
  }
}

This works ONLY if also 'application.properties' file exists.

e.g. maven project:

src/main/resources/application.properties [ The file can be empty but it's mandatory! ]
src/main/resources/application.yml [here's your real config file]
