How to write #SpringBootTest for app with #ComponentScan and JPA repositories - spring-boot

Question

I find it extremely hard to write #SpringBootTest if you use #ComponentScan and Jpa repositories. Can someone advice? This should be super-trivial stuff, but it's not documented anywhere.
#SpringBootApplication
#ComponentScan(
excludeFilters = {
#ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.CUSTOM, classes = TypeExcludeFilter.class),
#ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.CUSTOM, classes = AutoConfigurationExcludeFilter.class) },
basePackageClasses = {Main.class, Other.class})
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Main.class, args);
}
}
and one of discovered Configuration classes has:
#Configuration
#EnableJpaRepositories("jpa")
Now I want to create test, which will enable ideally just a subset of JPA repositories AND exactly nothing else, unless I tell so. Namely, no configuration from production source code. This seems to be close to impossible to express. This is where I was able to get:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
#Import(TestIT.TestConfig.class)
public class TestIT {
#Configuration
#EnableJpaRepositories("jpa")
#AutoConfigureDataJpa
#AutoConfigurationPackage
public static class TestConfig {
//here will be beans for test.
}
so this configuration produces error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not a managed type ...my jpa repository class
which probably means, that jpa package isn't among autoconfigured packages. No idea how to add it if it's even possible.
OK, another approach. Some sources recommends this:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
#Import(TestIT.TestConfig.class)
public class TestIT {
EnableJpaRepositories("jpa")
#EntityScan(basePackages = "jpa.entities")
//#TestPropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
#EnableTransactionManagement
public static class TestConfig {
//here will be beans for test.
}
but this one fails with caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: At least one JPA metamodel must be present!
Any hints?

First of all, there is no specific need to add #ComponentScan in your main application startup file. #SpringBootApplication is sufficient.
Now regarding the test cases:
I use powermockito all my test cases usually look like this:-
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PowerMockRunnerDelegate(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest({ ContextProvider.class, ConfigurationUtils.class, Utils.class })
#FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class TestIT {
IN the clause #PrepareForTest mention all the classes which u would mention with the annotation #Mock.
for e.g.
No need to mention any of the repo(DAO layer interfaces where we write our queries) interfaces. So ur repo declaration would be like:
private SoftwareRepo softwareRepo;
And u would use it in while execution is
softwareInventoryRepo = PowerMockito.mock(SoftwareRepo.class);

OK, after a lot of searching (in vain) and even more trying, I think I have answer.
To recap:
you have main class (thanks #Bhushan Shinde):
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackageClasses = {Main.class, Other.class})
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Main.class, args);
}
}
and some configuration:
#Configuration
#EnableJpaRepositories("jpa")
public class Config
So to use SpringBootTest and configure everything from scratch for test, ignoring production configurations, you go:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(
webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.NONE,
classes = TestIT.TestConfig.class)
//#Import(TestIT.TestConfig.class)
public class TestIT {
#Configuration
#AutoConfigureDataJpa
#EnableJpaRepositories("jpa") //fake package names, obviously
#EntityScan(basePackages = "jpa.entities")
// #TestPropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
#EnableTransactionManagement
public static class TestConfig {
//test related beans & config.
}
//tests here.
}
maybe there is something extra here, but after day of googling & trying this is good enough for me.
