Spring Boot with spring-cloud: gradle build fails

Question

./gradlew build fails with the error given at the bottom while running :test task. The code just checks if the context is loaded properly.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@ContextConfiguration
public class RegistryApplicationTests {

    @Test
    public void contextLoads() {
    }
}

The bootstrap.yml file is given below(pretty standard), I'm not sure why it is trying to load the property file from the cloud-config service, how do I work around it??

spring:
 application:
   name: registry
 profiles:
   active: default
 cloud:
   config:
     uri: http://localhost:8888
     fail-fast: true

eureka:
  instance:
    prefer-ip-address: true
  client:
    registerWithEureka: false
    fetchRegistry: false
    server:
      waitTimeInMsWhenSyncEmpty: 0

UPDATE As suggested by @dzatorsky tried adding @Profile("test") and @ActiveProfiles("test"),DID NOT WORK.

Tried manually adding the property file for the test using @TestPropertySource(locations = "file:src/test/resources/application-test.yml") DID NOT WORK

Finally overrode using @TestPropertySource(properties = {"spring.cloud.config.fail-fast=false"}) which worked, but it looks like a very ugly work around

The Inference is bootstrap.yml in src/main/resources overrides the properties specified anywhere else, tried renaming application-test.yml to bootstrap.yml in src/test/resources WORKED.

Is this the cleaner way getting this done?

Error on GET request for "http://localhost:8888/registry/default": Connection refused: connect; nested exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Seems that your Spring Cloud Config server is down.

UPDATE: If you want to run your tests without running Config Server (which is a right thing to do in the most cases) then I would suggest doing the following:

Add application-test.yml with the following content:

cloud:
    config:
        fail-fast: false

Annotate your test class with:

@Profile("test")

In this case, whenever you run your tests they use a default parameters defined in application.yml plus those that you override in application.test.yml.
