Testing ApplicationListener with #SQL - spring

Question

We have a spring bean doing some initialization stuff at bootup of a spring-boot application. To do so, the application registers a ApplicationListener<ApplicationReadyEvent>, which queries the database and acts upon the data.
To test this process, we have to inject testdata in the database. Our first try was to init the database with a test-specific ApplicationListener<ApplicationStartedEvent>. This works, however, the code looks rather nasty. The idea was to use the #Sql annotation instead to load the initial data.
This works not as expected, as the data is injected after the ApplicationReadyEvent has been published. I was unable to find means to change the phase during which the #Sql data is written to the database.
Is there a way to ensure, the data of #Sql is written prior to publishing the ApplicationReadyEvent? The test is currently otherwise annotated to run with SpringRunner, #DataJpaTest and with #DirtiesContext.
Edit: Provide Code
The ApplicationListener ist provided as this:
#Component
public class ApplicationStartup implements ApplicationListener<ApplicationReadyEvent> {
#Override
public void onApplicationEvent(final ApplicationReadyEvent event) {
// Do someting with SQL-Data
}
}
While the test looks like this:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ComponentScan
#Import(SomeTestConfig.class)
#DataJpaTest
//#SQL("/somedata.sql")
public class SomeTest {
#Test
public void test() {
// Assert ApplicationListener has run
}
}
With the test-config as follows:
#TestConfiguration
#Profile(ReplayTest.PROFILE_SOME_TEST)
class SomeTestConfig {
#Bean
public ApplicationListener<ApplicationStartedEvent> testSetupBean() {
return new ApplicationListener<ApplicationStartedEvent>() {
// Insert data within onApplicationEvent-Method
};
}
}
If I uncomment #SQL and comment-out the #Import, the testdata is visible from within the test itself but not from within the ApplicationListener.

You can make use of the #Order annotation. You can annotate your application listeners and your test with it. By default, this has lowest precedence. So you should provide higher precedence to your application listener and lowest to your test.
Listener:
#Override
#Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE)
public void onApplicationEvent(ApplicationReadyEvent event) {
System.out.println("...publishing application event");
}
Test:
#Test
#Sql(scripts = "test.sql")
#Order
public void test() {
System.out.println("...loading data");
}
