Class SpringApplicationContextLoader

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractContextLoader

org.springframework.boot.test.SpringApplicationContextLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.test.context.ContextLoader, org.springframework.test.context.SmartContextLoader

public class SpringApplicationContextLoader
extends org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractContextLoader

A ContextLoader that can be used to test Spring Boot applications (those that normally startup using SpringApplication). Never starts an embedded web server, but detects the @WebAppConfiguration annotation on the test class and only creates a web application context if it is present. Non-web features, like a repository layer, can be tested cleanly by simply not marking the test class @WebAppConfiguration.

If @ActiveProfiles are provided in the test class they will be used to create the application context.

Parameters:

declaringClass - the test class that declared @ContextConfiguration

Returns:

an array of default configuration classes, potentially empty but never null
