unit testing - Disable @EnableScheduling on Spring Tests

Question

When I run my unit tests, it invokes my scheduled tasks. I want to prevent this behaviour, which is caused by the fact that I have @EnableScheduling on my main app configuration.

How can I disable this on my unit tests?

I have come across this question/answer which suggests setting up profiles?

Not sure how I would go about that? or if its an overkill? I was thinking of having a separate AppConfiguration for my unit tests but it feels like im repeating code twice when I do that?

@Configuration
@EnableJpaRepositories(AppConfiguration.DAO_PACKAGE)
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableScheduling
@ComponentScan({AppConfiguration.SERVICE_PACKAGE,
                AppConfiguration.DAO_PACKAGE,
                AppConfiguration.CLIENT_PACKAGE,
                AppConfiguration.SCHEDULE_PACKAGE})
public class AppConfiguration {

    static final    String MAIN_PACKAGE             = "com.etc.app-name";
    static final    String DAO_PACKAGE              = "com.etc.app-name.dao";
    private static  final  String ENTITIES_PACKAGE  = "com.etc.app-name.entity";
    static final    String SERVICE_PACKAGE          = "com.etc.app-name.service";
    static final    String CLIENT_PACKAGE           = "com.etc.app-name.client";
    static final    String SCHEDULE_PACKAGE         = "com.etc.app-name.scheduling";


    @Bean
    public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory(){
       // stripped code for question readability
    }

    // more app config code below etc

}

Unit test example.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes={AppConfiguration.class})
@Transactional
@TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback = true)
@WebAppConfiguration
public class ExampleDaoTest {

    @Autowired
    ExampleDao exampleDao;

    @Test
    public void testExampleDao() {
        List<Example> items = exampleDao.findAll();
        Assert.assertTrue(items.size()>0);
    }
}

If you don't want to use profiles, you can add flag that will enable/disable scheduling for the application

In your AppConfiguration add this

  @ConditionalOnProperty(
     value = "app.scheduling.enable", havingValue = "true", matchIfMissing = true
  )
  @Configuration
  @EnableScheduling
  public static class SchedulingConfiguration {
  }

and in your test just add this annotation to disable scheduling

@TestPropertySource(properties = "app.scheduling.enable=false")
