Call @Retryable method in a method that is annotated with @Async not working

Question

The below @Retryable code works where there is a direct call to method, but retryable method call through @Async annotated method then throws an exception. Any suggestions ?

Here is my Service Class

@Service
public class RetryAndRecoverService {

    int counter = 0;
    String str = null;
    @Retryable(value = {FooException.class, BarException.class}, maxAttempts = 5,  backoff = @Backoff(delay = 1000, multiplier = 1))
    public String retryWithException() {
        System.out.println("retryWithException - "+(counter++));
        String value = getMapperValue();
        if(value == null){
            throw new FooException();
        }
        return value;
    }

     private String getMapperValue() {
        return null;
    }

    @Async
    public String testRetry(){
        return retryWithException();
    }

}

Here is Junit Test class

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = RetryExampleApplication.class)
public class RetryTest {

    @Autowired
    private RetryAndRecoverService retryAndRecoverService;

    @Test
    public void retryWithException() {
        Stream.of(IntStream.range(0, 3)).forEach(index -> {
            String str = retryAndRecoverService.testRetry();
            System.out.println(str);

        }); 
    }
}

Here is Spring Boot application Class

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.retry.annotation.EnableRetry;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableAsync;

@EnableRetry
@EnableAsync
@SpringBootApplication
public class RetryExampleApplication {


    @Autowired
    RetryAndRecoverService retryAndRecoverService;

    public static void main(String[] args){
        SpringApplication.run(RetryExampleApplication.class, args);
    }

    private void retryAndRecoverService() {
        retryAndRecoverService.retryWithException();

    }
}

Exception as follows. Any suggestions on this please.

retryWithException - 0

A similar problem was the case and fixed with spring version 4.3.14 Please see https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-16196
