spring-boot: @WebMvcTest fails with @EnableFeignClients

Problem

In my app I’ve got a service which makes a rest call to an external API using Feign. I want to mock this external call in my @WebMvcTest by using the @MockBean annotation, but I get the following exception.

20:40:32.236 [main] WARN  o.s.test.context.TestContextManager - Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.boot.test.mock.mockito.ResetMocksTestExecutionListener@314c8b4a] to process 'before' execution of test method [public void example.ExampleApplicationTest.shouldReturnDescription() throws java.lang.Exception] for test instance [example.ExampleApplicationTest@26d820eb]

Repro steps

I’ve created an example project to reproduce this error. The pull request: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot-issues/pull/60

Temporary workaround

I was able to bypass this problem by adding to the test the feign client interface annotated with @MockBean.

微调配置注解的位置，将@EnableFeignClients挪到FeignConfig。因为将@EnableFeignClients放在@SpringBootApplication上会导致使用@WebMvcTest的测试失败 https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/7270 — committed to iuwjh/gulimallEx by iuwjh 4 years ago

Okay, I have just spent over 4 hours on this issue… Seems like there is not anything out there yet about the solution to this stuff…

Here is what I did to solve this: 1. Add this annotation to your test class:

@ImportAutoconfiguration({RibbonAutoConfiguration.class, FeignRibbonClientAutoConfiguration.class, FeignAutoConfiguration.class})

Try it, if it does not work, you might need the @EnableFeignClients annotation on your main program config

Why this issue is closed?

Adding @ImportAutoconfiguration({RibbonAutoConfiguration.class, FeignRibbonClientAutoConfiguration.class, FeignAutoConfiguration.class}) is ugly workaround.

Nothing in this thread helped Using @AutoConfigureMockMvc + @SpringBootTest instead @WebMvcTest fix that issue for me.

Thanks for explanation, so valid workaround is to simply create class

@Configuration
@EnableFeignClients
public class CloudConfiguration {

}

and removing @EnableFeignClients from SpringBootApplication class.

I solved this problem just by @EnableAutoConfiguration
