Why this error trying to unit test an entire Spring Batch Job? No qualifying bean of type ‘org.springframework.batch.core.Job’ available

I am working on a Spring Batch application. Untill now I was able to unit test something like service methods and something like this (as done in every Spring Boot application).

Now I am trying to follow this tutorial in order to test an entire job from my unit test class (basically I want to execute a test method that perform a Job): https://www.baeldung.com/spring-batch-testing-job

This is my JUnit test class, in this case works fine and I correctly can test my services method using the @SpringBootTest annotation:

@SpringBootTest
@SpringBatchTest
class UpdateInfoBatchApplicationTests {
    
    @Autowired
    private NotaryService notaryService;
    
    @Autowired
    private JobLauncherTestUtils jobLauncherTestUtils;
  
    @Autowired
    private JobRepositoryTestUtils jobRepositoryTestUtils;
  
    @After
    public void cleanUp() {
    jobRepositoryTestUtils.removeJobExecutions();
    }
    
    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("launcher")
    private JobLauncher jobLauncher;
    
    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("updateNotaryDistrictsJob")
    private Job updateNotaryDistrictsJob;
    
    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("updateNotaryListInfoJob")
    private Job updateNotaryListInfoJob;
    
    private JobParameters defaultJobParameters() {
    JobParametersBuilder paramsBuilder = new JobParametersBuilder();
    //paramsBuilder.addString("file.input", TEST_INPUT);
    //paramsBuilder.addString("file.output", TEST_OUTPUT);
    return paramsBuilder.toJobParameters();
   }
    
    @Test
    public void givenReferenceOutput_whenJobExecuted_thenSuccess() throws Exception {
    // when
    JobExecution jobExecution = jobLauncherTestUtils.launchJob(defaultJobParameters());
    JobInstance actualJobInstance = jobExecution.getJobInstance();
    ExitStatus actualJobExitStatus = jobExecution.getExitStatus();
    
    Assert.assertEquals(actualJobInstance.getJobName(), "updateNotaryDistrictsJob");
      
    // then
    //assertThat(actualJobInstance.getJobName(), is("updateNotaryDistrictsJob"));
    //assertThat(actualJobExitStatus.getExitCode(), is("COMPLETED"));
    //AssertFile.assertFileEquals(expectedResult, actualResult);
    }

    @Test
    void contextLoads() {
        System.out.println("TEST - contextLoads()");
    }
    
    @Test
    void getNotaryList() throws Exception {
    List<Notary> notaryList = this.notaryService.getNotaryList();
    System.out.println("notaryList size: " + notaryList);
    Assert.assertEquals("Notary List must be 5069", 5069, notaryList.size());
    }
    
    @Test
    void getNotaryDetails() throws Exception {
        NotaryDetails notaryDetails = this.notaryService.getNotaryDetails("089cy5Ra9zE%253D");
        System.out.println("notaryDetails: " + notaryDetails);
        Assert.assertEquals("Notary ID must be 089cy5Ra9zE%253D", "089cy5Ra9zE%253D", notaryDetails.getIdNotary());
    }
    
    @Test
    void getNotaryDistrictsList() throws Exception {
        List<NotaryDistrict> notaryDistrictsList = this.notaryService.getNotaryDistrictsList();
        System.out.println("notaryDistrictsList: " + notaryDistrictsList);
        
        Assert.assertEquals("Notary districts list lenght must be 91", 91, notaryDistrictsList.size());
        
        //ArrayList<NotaryDistrict>  notaryDistrictsListArrayList = new ArrayList<NotaryDistrict>(notaryDistrictsList);
        notaryDistrictsList.remove(0);
        Assert.assertEquals("Notary districts list lenght must now be 90", 90, notaryDistrictsList.size());
    }
    
    @Test
    void getNotaryDistrictDetails() throws Exception {
        NotaryDistrictDetails notaryDistrictDetails =  this.notaryService.getNotaryDistrictDetails("CG7drXn9fvA%253D");
        System.out.println("notaryDistrictDetails: " + notaryDistrictDetails.toString());
        
        Assert.assertEquals("Distretto must be: SCIACCA", "SCIACCA", notaryDistrictDetails.getDistretto());
    }
}

As you can see in the previous code I first inject my two Job objects defined:

@Autowired
@Qualifier("launcher")
private JobLauncher jobLauncher;

@Autowired
@Qualifier("updateNotaryDistrictsJob")
private Job updateNotaryDistrictsJob;

These Job are defined as bean into the class that configures my Spring Batch jobs and steps, basically I have these 2 beans:

@Bean("updateNotaryDistrictsJob")
public Job updateNotaryDistrictsListInfoJob(){
    return jobs.get("updateNotaryDistrictsListInfoJob")
            .incrementer(new RunIdIncrementer())
            .start(readNotaryDistrictsListStep())
            .build();
}

and

@Bean("updateNotaryListInfoJob")
public Job updateNotaryListInfoJob(){
    return jobs.get("updateNotaryListInfoJob")
            .incrementer(new RunIdIncrementer())
            .start(readNotaryListStep())
            .build();
}

Then in the previous test class there is this test method that should test the entire flow of the previous updateNotaryDistrictsJob job:

@Test
public void givenReferenceOutput_whenJobExecuted_thenSuccess() throws Exception {
    // when
    JobExecution jobExecution = jobLauncherTestUtils.launchJob(defaultJobParameters());
    JobInstance actualJobInstance = jobExecution.getJobInstance();
    ExitStatus actualJobExitStatus = jobExecution.getExitStatus();
    
    Assert.assertEquals(actualJobInstance.getJobName(), "updateNotaryDistrictsJob");
}

The problem is that doing in this way when I run this test method I am obtaining this exception in my stack trace:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'jobLauncherTestUtils': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'setJob' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.batch.core.Job' available: expected single matching bean but found 2: updateNotaryDistrictsJob,updateNotaryListInfoJob

It seems that it can’t recognize what of my two Job beans must be used.

Why? What is wrong? What am I missing? How can I try to fix this issue?

Answer

The JobLauncherTestUtils that is provided by @SpringBatchTest expects that there is only a single bean of type Job in the test context. This is also documented in the java doc of the annotation.

If you use @SpringBootTest and full component scanning such that more than one job bean is picked up, @SpringBatchTest does not work out of the box.

The easiest solution is probably to remove @SpringBatchTest and to start the jobs with the jobLauncher. Alternatively, you can split your tests across multiple test classes and use test contexts that only contain a single job bean, respectively.
