Disabling Spring cloud consul when running Test

Question

I like to run my unit test with test spring profile without consul. I'm trying to use spring.cloud.config.enabled:false and disabling EnableDiscoveryClient annotation for test profile but it doesn't work.

I'm using spring.cloud.consul 1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT. Here is the exception:

com.ecwid.consul.transport.TransportException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect at com.ecwid.consul.transport.DefaultHttpTransport.executeRequest(DefaultHttpTransport.java:87) at com.ecwid.consul.transport.DefaultHttpTransport.makeGetRequest(DefaultHttpTransport.java:46) at com.ecwid.consul.v1.ConsulRawClient.makeGetRequest(ConsulRawClient.java:66)

Try disabling Consul with spring.cloud.consul.enabled:false in your profile.

I use @IntegrationTest({"spring.cloud.consul.enabled=false"}) tag to disable consul for my tests, as a class tag. I found that on the Spring Cloud Consul GitHub issue tracker, here.

The other suggestion from that post was to use something like the following as your bootstrap.yml.

spring:
  application:
    name: <myServiceName>
  cloud:
    bus:
      enabled: false
    discovery:
      enabled: false
    consul:
      enabled: false
      config:
        enabled: false
