[FIXED] Spring boot 2.7 migrating spring.factories into imports file

Issue

I updated the project from spring boot 2.6 to 2.7 and I'm having trouble registering the TestExecutionListener class. Before it was registered in spring.factories

org.springframework.test.context.TestExecutionListener = com.example.MyListener

Release notes says about move spring.factories into imports file If you have created your own test-slices, you should move the registration from spring.factories to the new place under META-INF/spring/.imports

Now, i have no idea how do it. I've tried many options and configrations and no one works well for me.

Solution

You should read the documentation again. The spring.factories is deprecated for

1. Auto-configuration classes
2. Test Slices

but not for registering TestExecutionListener instances for the tests.
