@MockBean SpringDataRepository fails with NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException

[rwinch]

Description

If @MockBean is used on a Spring Data repository that is also @Autowired into another component in Spring Boot 1.4.0.RELEASE, a NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException is thrown. For example (link to GitHub repository with complete sample further down):

@RestController
public class MessageController {
    public MessageController(MessageRepository repository) {
    }
}

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class SpringDataTests {
    @MockBean
    MessageRepository messageRepository;

    @Test
    public void contextLoads() {
    }

}

Produces:

Complete Sample

You can find a sample of the project at https://github.com/rwinch/spring-boot-gh-6640

• WithControllerTests will fail
• NotSpringData will pass because it is not a Spring Data repository
• NoControllerTests will pass because the Spring Data repository is not being @Autowired into another component (only into the test)

That's most probably related to #6602 yes.

Duplicates #6541

[rwinch]

I'm curious why this is a duplicate. The other issue has trouble
differentiating between two interfaces with different generic types. This
issue there is only a single interface. Can you explain how it is a
duplicate?

@rwinch Have you read the duplicate issue and this comment in particular? Hopefully it explains my reasoning.

[rwinch]

@wilkinsona Thanks for the response. I didn't notice that you had pointed at a separate issue than @snicoll and I were referencing. You are correct. This is a duplicate and is fixed in the latest SNAPSHOT (as mentioned in the issue, #6541, you linked to)
