Is there a simple way I can easily override an autowired bean in specific unit tests? There is only a single bean of every type in the compile classes so it's not a problem for autowiring in this case. The test classes would contain additional mocks. When running a unit test I'd simply like to specify an additional Configuration that says basically, while running this unit test use this mock instead of the standard bean.
Profiles seem a bit overkill for what I require and I'm not sure this would be achievable with the Primary annotation as different unit test could have different mocks.
If you just simply want to provide a different bean in your tests, i think you don't need to use spring profiles or mockito.
Just do the following:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = { TestConfig.class })
public class MyTest
{
@Configuration
@Import(Application.class) // the actual configuration
public static class TestConfig
{
@Bean
public IMyService myService()
{
return new MockedMyService();
}
}
@Test
public void test()
{
....
}
}
NOTE: tested with spring boot 1.3.2 / spring 4.2.4
