out of the event when it is published.
A useful practice for use with `@WebIntegrationTest` is to set `server.port=0`
and then inject the actual port. For example:
Tests that use `@SpringApplicationTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)` can
also inject the actual port into a field using the `@LocalServerPort` annotation. For
example:

features of Spring Boot are only installed in the context by default if you use
`SpringApplication` to create it.
Spring Boot provides three annotations which can be used as an alternative the standard
`spring-test` `@ContextConfiguration` annotation when you need Spring Boot features. All
three work by creating the `ApplicationContext` used in your tests via
`SpringApplication`.
The specific annotation that you choose will depend on the type of test that you are writing:
* `@SpringApplicationTest` -- Loads an `ApplicationContext` or `WebApplicationContext`
(depending on your classpath) using `SpringApplication` and provides a mock servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are not started
when using this annotation.
* `@WebIntegrationTest` -- Loads an `EmbeddedWebApplicationContext` using
`SpringApplication` and provides a real servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers
are started and listening on a defined or random port.
* `@IntegrationTest` -- Loads an `ApplicationContext` using `SpringApplication` but does
not provides _any_ servlet environment (mock or otherwise).
NOTE: In addition to `@SpringApplicationTest`, `@WebIntegrationTest` and
`@IntegrationTest` a number of other annotations are also provided for testing more
specific slices of an application. See below for details.
Spring Boot provides a `@SpringApplicationTest` annotation which can be used as an
alternative the standard `spring-test` `@ContextConfiguration` annotation when you need
Spring Boot features. The annotation works by creating the `ApplicationContext` used
in your tests via `SpringApplication`.
You can use the `webEnvironment` attribute of `@SpringApplicationTest` to further refine
how your tests will run:
* `MOCK` -- Loads a `WebApplicationContext` and provides a mock servlet environment.
Embedded servlet containers are not started when using this annotation. If servlet
APIs are not on your classpath this mode will transparantly fallback to creating a
regular non-web `ApplicationContext`.
* `RANDOM_PORT` -- Loads an `EmbeddedWebApplicationContext` and provides a real
servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are started and listening on a random
port.
* `DEFINED_PORT` -- Loads an `EmbeddedWebApplicationContext` and provides a real
servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are started and listening on a defined
port (i.e from your `application.properties` or on the default port `8080`).
* `NONE` -- Loads an `ApplicationContext` using `SpringApplication` but does not provides
_any_ servlet environment (mock or otherwise).
NOTE: In addition to `@SpringApplicationTest` a number of other annotations are also
provided for testing more specific slices of an application. See below for details.
TIP: Don't forget to also add `@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)` to your test, otherwise
the annotations will be ignored.

==== Using @SpringApplicationTest
Use the `@SpringApplicationTest` annotation to load a `ApplicationContext` or
`WebApplicationContext` via `SpringApplication` and configure it with a mock
servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers will not be started when using
`@SpringApplicationTest`.
A `WebApplicationContext` is created when Servlet API jars are present on your
classpath. If you're developing a non-web application, the regular
`ApplicationContext` is used.
The `@Configuration` classes to load can either be explicitly defined using
`@ContextConfiguration`, specified as inner-classes or

==== Working with random ports
If you need to start a full running server for tests, we recommend that you use random
ports. If you use `@SpringApplicationTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)`
an available port will be picked at random each time your test runs.
The `@LocalServerPort` annotation can be used to
<<howto-discover-the-http-port-at-runtime,inject the actual port used>> into your test.
For convenience, tests that need to make REST calls to the started server can additionally
`@Autowire` a `TestRestTemplate` which will resolve relative links to the running server.
To change the port you can add environment properties to `@WebIntegrationTest` as colon-
or equals-separated name-value pairs, e.g. `@WebIntegrationTest("server.port:9000")`.
Additionally you can set the `server.port` and `management.port` properties to `0`
or use the `randomPort` attribute in order to run your integration tests using
random ports.
