Answer 1

you can set your member variable which is service by using ref

MyService(MyProvider) {
        userDetailsService = ref("userDetailsService")
        springSecurityService = ref("springSecurityService")
        userService = ref("userService")
    }

Answer 2

To use spring beans in a unit test you need to do the following:

• Include all the services and other beans the test depends on in the defineBeans closure.
• Set the autowire property to true for beans that need to have other beans injected.

For example:

defineBeans {
    someService(SomeService) { bean ->
        bean.autowire = true
    }
    some2Service(Some2Service)
}
