@ContextConfiguration defined on a base class and a composed annotation do not merge [SPR-13670]

[spring-projects-issues]

Alain Sahli opened SPR-13670 and commented

When a test has multiple @ContextConfiguration annotations defined on a base class and a composed annotation then the one defined on the composed annotation is ignored.

I created a small example that illustrates the issue (see reference URL). In this case the TestAppContext defined on the ComposedAnnotation is ignored and therefore the ComposedAnnotationTest fails because the needed bean does not exist.

If the test class is directly annotated with @ContextConfiguration instead of using the ComposedAnnotation it works (see WorkingTest).

This is a duplicate of #17346 and has been addressed in Spring Framework 4.2.

Hello, I am experiencing the same issue in 4.3.0.RELEASE.
@TestExecutionListeners are correctly merged but not @ContextConfiguration.

In fact, I have a different issue.
You can close it, sorry. Creating another issue.
