Spring Cloud Task deployed on PCF fails to exit on TaskExecution end - spring-boot

Question

I am trying to host a Spring cloud task app on PCF and run the task hourly using PCF scheduler's CRON jobs. However, as part of the task, I have to publish a message onto a RabbitMQ exchange. The RabbitMQ instance is a RabbitMQ on PCF service which is bound to the task app. When I run the task, the Task Execution ends but the application does not shut down, thereby causing the task instance to be permanently in the running state.
This is the code for my application class.
package com.example.demo;
import org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.core.RabbitTemplate;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.task.configuration.EnableTask;
#EnableTask
#SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
final String topicExchangeName = "demo-exchange";
#Autowired
RabbitTemplate rabbitTemplate;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args).close();
}
#Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Hello Task Demo!");
rabbitTemplate.convertAndSend(topicExchangeName, "HLT", "Hello Task!");
}
}
This is the application.properties file
logging.level.org.springframework.cloud.task=DEBUG
spring.application.name=helloTaskApp
spring.cloud.task.closecontext_enable=true
spring.cloud.task.events.enabled=false
The following is the logs for a task run

I am using the command ".java-buildpack/open_jdk_jre/bin/java org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher" for the task run.
It is running fine on local, but adding the RabbitTemplate seems to fail Application Context closing somehow. Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?

Answer 1

Not sure if this is a problem still but we ran into this after taking a spring upgrade to one of our tasks. The root cause of your / our issue seems to stem from this change. I guess the related issue for this is 462.
With that in mind you were close to a solution except for the property needed to be like this
spring.cloud.task.closecontextEnabled=true
The class that you can refer to is TaskProperties

Answer 2

This stemmed to the 'cloud' profile being added by the buildpack on PCF. You can see the same thing in my logs as well in the question.
Adding this environment variable on the manifest.yml
env:
JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_AUTO_RECONFIGURATION: '{enabled: false}'
This prevented the buildpack from loading the cloud autoconfiguration jars and application stopped after task run. In hindsight, more of a cloudfoundry buildpack issue rather than a spring cloud task one.
