#SpringIntegrationTest annotation does not load context as expected - spring-integration

Question

Normally, when I use #SpringBootTest I get the full context of beans. I can the #Autowire all kinds of beans that are available after the application has started.
Now, in the scope of spring-integration-test libary, the #SpringIntegrationTest does not do this.
As the testing module promises, you can use
#Autowired
private MockIntegrationContext mockIntegrationContext;
However, after inspecting the bean map on that instance, I found out there are no beans!
Example test:
#ActiveProfiles("test")
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringIntegrationTest
public class AppTest {
#Autowired
private MockIntegrationContext mockIntegrationContext;
#Test
public void contextLoads() {
// put breakpoint to inspect field
System.out.println(mockIntegrationContext);
}
}
When I however run the following code, I get a complete context:
#ActiveProfiles("test")
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
public class App2Test {
#Autowired
private ListableBeanFactory beanFactory;
#Test
public void contextLoads() {
Assert.isTrue(beanFactory.getBeanDefinitionCount() > 0)
}
}
Why is that? How can I achieve a similar result with spring-integration-test?

Answer 1

They are independent annotations; you need both.
EDIT
This works fine for me:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
#SpringIntegrationTest
public class So52297757ApplicationTests {
#Autowired
private MockIntegrationContext mockIntegrationContext;
#Autowired
private String foo;
#Test
public void contextLoads() {
System.out.println(foo);
System.out.println(mockIntegrationContext);
}
}
and
#SpringBootApplication
public class So52297757Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(So52297757Application.class, args);
}
#Bean
public String foo() {
return "foo";
}
}
and
foo
