Spring Boot with spring-cloud: gradle build fails - spring

Question

./gradlew build fails with the error given at the bottom while running :test task. The code just checks if the context is loaded properly.
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest
#ContextConfiguration
public class RegistryApplicationTests {
#Test
public void contextLoads() {
}
}
The bootstrap.yml file is given below(pretty standard), I'm not sure why it is trying to load the property file from the cloud-config service, how do I work around it??
spring:
application:
name: registry
profiles:
active: default
cloud:
config:
uri: http://localhost:8888
fail-fast: true
eureka:
instance:
prefer-ip-address: true
client:
registerWithEureka: false
fetchRegistry: false
server:
waitTimeInMsWhenSyncEmpty: 0

UPDATE
As suggested by #dzatorsky tried adding #Profile("test") and #ActiveProfiles("test"),DID NOT WORK.
Tried manually adding the property file for the test using #TestPropertySource(locations = "file:src/test/resources/application-test.yml") DID NOT WORK
Finally overrode using #TestPropertySource(properties = {"spring.cloud.config.fail-fast=false"}) which worked, but it looks like a very ugly work around
The Inference is bootstrap.yml in src/main/resources overrides the properties specified anywhere else, tried renaming application-test.yml to bootstrap.yml in src/test/resources WORKED.
Is this the cleaner way getting this done?

Error on GET request for "http://localhost:8888/registry/default": Connection refused: connect; nested exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
Seems that your Spring Cloud Config server is down.
UPDATE: If you want to run your tests without running Config Server (which is a right thing to do in the most cases) then I would suggest doing the following:
Add application-test.yml with the following content:
cloud:
config:
fail-fast: false
Annotate your test class with:
#Profile("test")
In this case, whenever you run your tests they use a default parameters defined in application.yml plus those that you override in application.test.yml.
