AnnotationConfigContextLoader

open class AnnotationConfigContextLoader : AbstractGenericContextLoader

Concrete implementation of AbstractGenericContextLoader that loads bean definitions from annotated classes.

See the Javadoc for org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration for a definition of annotated class.

Note: AnnotationConfigContextLoader supports annotated classes rather than the String-based resource locations defined by the legacy org.springframework.test.context.ContextLoader API. Thus, although AnnotationConfigContextLoader extends AbstractGenericContextLoader, AnnotationConfigContextLoader does not support any String-based methods defined by AbstractContextLoader or AbstractGenericContextLoader. Consequently, AnnotationConfigContextLoader should chiefly be considered a org.springframework.test.context.SmartContextLoader rather than a org.springframework.test.context.ContextLoader.

Functions

processContextConfiguration

 open fun processContextConfiguration(configAttributes: ContextConfigurationAttributes): Unit

Process annotated classes in the supplied ContextConfigurationAttributes.

If the annotated classes are null or empty and #isGenerateDefaultLocations() returns true, this SmartContextLoader will attempt to . If defaults are detected they will be set in the supplied configuration attributes. Otherwise, properties in the supplied configuration attributes will not be modified.
