If I spin up a Spec with the @SpringBootTest annotation, can I get access to the app context within a specific test? I’m trying to migrate some tests that look like this:

contextRunner.run { context ->
   assertThat(context)
      .hasSingleBean(MongoCustomConversions::class.java)
}

and change properties on the context for a test?

contextRunner
    .withPropertyValues("spring.data.mongodb.migrations.enabled:false")
    .run { context ->
        assertThat(context)
            .doesNotHaveBean(Mongobee::class.java)
    }

Are you using the kotest spring listener ?

[Joel Hess]

Yes

I have this as my setup

@SpringBootTest()
@ContextConfiguration(classes = [(TestAppConfiguration::class)])
@TestPropertySource(
    properties =
    [
        "spring.profiles.active:unitTests",
        "spring.application.name:test-service",
        "spring.data.mongodb.uri:<mongodb://username:password@testHost:12,host2:13/testDatabase>"
    ]
)
class MongoConfigTests : StringSpec() {

    override fun listeners() = listOf(SpringListener)
...
}

The test context is not made available

[sam]

but it would be easy to do so

will include it in 4.4

Thanks for the quick response!

[sam]

no problem. If you can't wait for 4.4 you would need to copy that SpringTestListener class and adapt it.

Coming in 4.4 RC1 next couple of days
