My junit test is not #Autowiring. What am I missing - spring-boot

Question

I am trying to unit test my Spring Boot project in Eclipse. The problem I am having is that my #Autowire s are being ignored.
#SpringBootTest
public class ValidateRepositoryTest {
private static final String CREATE_TBLVALIDATE_SQL_SCRIPT = "scripts/create/validate.sql";
private static final String DROP_TBLVALIDATE_SQL_SCRIPT = "scripts/drop/validate.sql";
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ValidateRepositoryTest.class);
#Autowired
private JdbcTemplate jdbc;
#Before
public void before() throws SQLException {
if (jdbc == null) {
logger.fatal("jdbc == null in ValidateRepositoryTest.before()");
return;
}
ScriptUtils.executeSqlScript(jdbc.getDataSource().getConnection(), new ClassPathResource(CREATE_TBLVALIDATE_SQL_SCRIPT));
}
#After
public void after() throws SQLException {
if (jdbc == null) {
logger.fatal("jdbc == null in ValidateRepositoryTest.before()");
return;
}
ScriptUtils.executeSqlScript(jdbc.getDataSource().getConnection(), new ClassPathResource(DROP_TBLVALIDATE_SQL_SCRIPT));
}
#Autowired
ValidateRepository validateRepository;
#Test
public void testFindByKeyCode() {
if (jdbc == null) {
logger.fatal("validateRepository == null in ValidateRepositoryTest.testFindByKeyCode()");
return;
}
String documentTypeKeyCode = Validate.DOCUMENT_TYPE_CLAIMS_APPROVAL;
String sendMethodKeyCode = Validate.DOCUMENT_SEND_METHOD_EMAIL;
Validate validate = validateRepository.findByKeyCode(documentTypeKeyCode);
assertEquals("Shortage Claims Approval POD", validate.getDescription());
}
}
The output.
[INFO] Running com.kable.newsstand.batch.shortage_claim_auto_accept.entities.validate.test.ValidateRepositoryTest
09:40:51.029 [main] ERROR com.kable.newsstand.batch.shortage_claim_auto_accept.entities.validate.test.ValidateRepositoryTest - jdbc == null in ValidateRepositoryTest.before()

I think it might have something to do with not having #RunWith(SpringRunner.class) at the top, but if I include this, it tries to run my main application, which throws exceptions because instance variables aren't populated from the environment:
#SpringBootApplication
public class ShortageClaimAutoAccept implements CommandLineRunner {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ShortageClaimAutoAccept.class);
private static String cognosUser;
private static String cognosPassword;
private static String smtpHost;
private static String ftpServer;
private static String ftpUserName;
private static String ftpPassword;
private static String ftpPath;
private static Mailer mailer;
private static FtpRelativePathUsage ftp;

}
acceptClaimDetailsAndCloseClaims();
emailPODClaims();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
final Properties props = ApplicationPropertiesProvider.getProperties();
smtpHost = props.getProperty("SYS_SMTP_HOST");
cognosUser = props.getProperty("REPORT_RUNNER_USER");
cognosPassword = props.getProperty("REPORT_RUNNER_PWD");
ftpServer = props.getProperty("FTP_I_CLAIMSPOD_HOST");
ftpUserName = props.getProperty("FTP_I_CLAIMSPOD_USRID");
ftpPassword = props.getProperty("FTP_I_CLAIMSPOD_PWD");
ftpPath = props.getProperty("FTP_I_CLAIMS_BASE_PATH");
mailer = new Mailer(smtpHost, "");
FtpSite ftpSite = new FtpSite(ftpServer, ftpUserName, ftpPassword, ftpPath);
ftp = new FtpRelativePathUsage(ftpSite);
SpringApplication.run(ShortageClaimAutoAccept.class, args);
} catch (IllegalStateException ex) {
logger.fatal(ex);
} catch (Exception ex) {
logger.fatal("Uncaught exception in the process: \n", ex);
}
}
#Override
public void run(String... arg0) throws Exception {
startClaimAutoAcceptApp();
}
}
I'm not sure why it tries to run this, when all I am doing is testing.

You are missing two things here:
A runner
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
The component classes to use for loading an ApplicationContext. Can also
be specified using #ContextConfiguration(classes=...). If no
explicit classes are defined the test will look for nested Configuration
classes, before falling back to a SpringBootConfiguration search.
#SpringBootTest(classes = ShortageClaimAutoAccept.class)
