Spring Batch/Spring Boot always auto-start my jobs - spring-boot

Question

I'm using Spring Boot 1.3.3.RELEASE with Spring Batch 3.0.6.RELEASE and am having trouble getting Spring Batch/Spring Boot to not auto-start my jobs.
This question is similar to how to stop spring batch scheduled jobs from running at first time when executing the code?
I have the following test class:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(useDefaultFilters = false,
includeFilters = #ComponentScan.Filter(value = GetMarkerViaSpringBatchApplicationTest.class,
type = FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE) )
#EnableBatchProcessing
//#IntegrationTest({"spring.batch.job.enabled=false"})
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#TestPropertySource(
locations = {"classpath:env.properties", "classpath:application.properties", "classpath:database.properties"},
properties = {"spring.batch.job.enabled=false"})
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = {GetMarkerViaSpringBatchApplicationTest.class},
locations = {"classpath:**/GetMarkerViaSpringBatchApplicationTest-context.xml"})
public class GetMarkerViaSpringBatchApplicationTest {
#Autowired
private JobLauncherTestUtils jobLauncherTestUtils;
#Test
public void testLaunchJob() throws Exception {
JobExecution jobExecution = jobLauncherTestUtils.launchJob();
assertThat(jobExecution.getStatus()).isEqualTo(BatchStatus.COMPLETED);
}
}
In the same directory (package) as the test class I have config file GetMarkerViaSpringBatchApplicationTest-context.xml.

application.properties (in root dir which is also in the classpath):
spring.datasource.platform=sqlserver
spring.profiles.active=local
spring.batch.job.enabled=true
spring.batch.initializer.enabled=true
spring.batch.schema=classpath:org/springframework/batch/core/schema-hsqldb.sql
Note that spring.batch.job.enabled=true in the application.properties but false in the #IntegrationTest and the #TestPropertySource.
Whenever I set spring.batch.job.enabled=true in the application.properties regardless of trying various combos of spring.batch.job.enabled=false in the #IntegrationTest and the #TestPropertySource whenever I run this test the job is getting kicked off before the jobLauncherTestUtils.launchJob() gets called.

I've read http://forum.spring.io/forum/spring-projects/batch/748038-i-do-not-want-enablebatchprocessing-to-launch-a-job and how to stop spring batch scheduled jobs from running at first time when executing the code? but can't seem to get the jobLauncher to NOT auto-start.
My understanding is that application.properties properties should be overriden by the 2 places I'm trying to set this directly within the Test but BatchAutoConfiguration doesn't seem to honor that override.
If I set spring.batch.job.enabled=false (or comment that property out) in the application.properties and try to drive it from either #IntegrationTest or #TestPropertySource it behaves as expected.
Is my understanding of the overriding of values incorrect?
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

If you add application.properties to #TestPropertySource then it ends up overriding the other stuff. You don't need it there if you are using spring boot.
