title: Junit not working with Spring boot
body: <p>I am trying to test my repository using Spring-boot.</p>
  
  <p>I followed <a href="http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-testing.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-testing.html</a></p>
  
  <p>My Test class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
  @SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = Application.class)
  public class NotificationRepositoryTest {
  
      @Inject
      NotificationRepository notificationRepository;
  
      @Test
      public void notificationRepositoryTest()
      {
         //some logic
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Application.java:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@ComponentScan({"com.mycompany.notification.processor.service"})
  @EnableAutoConfiguration
  @Configuration
  @ImportResource({
          "classpath:integration-context.xml", "classpath:launch-context.xml", "classpath:applicationContext-NotificationProcessorService.xml"
  })
  @EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"com.mycompany.notification.processor.service.dao"})
  //@Import({ ServletConfiguration.class, WebappConfiguration.class })
  public class Application {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
      }
