Using embedded MongoDB in Spring JUnit #WebMvcTest - mongodb

Question

I'm currently using MongoDB in my Spring application. Since I added Mongo my endpoint tests no longer work due to the following error:
No qualifying bean of type 'xxx' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {}
The repository which I Autowire in a controller is as follows:
private final RuleRepository ruleRepository;
#Autowired
public TestController(RuleRepository ruleRepository) {
this.ruleRepository = ruleRepository;
}
I assume that this has to do with Mongo and the fact that I currently use AutoConfiguration for it. For the test I added the Flapdoodle Embed Mongo dependency, which seems to be used for testing purposes in a lot of examples, to my pom.xml with the scope set to test:
<dependency>
<groupId>de.flapdoodle.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo</artifactId>
<version>2.0.3</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
My test class looks like this:
RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(value = RouteController.class, secure = false)
#ActiveProfiles("test")
public class TestControllerEndpointTests {
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Autowired
private RuleRepository ruleRepository;
#Before
public void setupTests() {
//Setup for the tests
}
//Actual tests
}
I also created a Configuration class for the Mongo Test Database, but I don't know how to correctly register it:
#Configuration
#Profile("test")
public class TestMongoConfig {
#Autowired
private MongoProperties properties;
#Autowired(required = false)
private MongoClientOptions options;
#Bean(destroyMethod = "close")
public Mongo mongo(MongodProcess mongodProcess) throws IOException {
Net net = mongodProcess.getConfig().net();
return new MongoClient(net.getServerAddress().getHostName(), net.getPort());
}
#Bean(destroyMethod = "stop")
public MongodProcess mongodProcess(MongodExecutable mongodExecutable) throws IOException {
return mongodExecutable.start();
}
#Bean(destroyMethod = "stop")
public MongodExecutable mongodExecutable(MongodStarter mongodStarter, IMongodConfig iMongodConfig) throws IOException {
return mongodStarter.prepare(iMongodConfig);
}
#Bean
public IMongodConfig mongodConfig() throws IOException {
return new MongodConfigBuilder().version(Version.Main.PRODUCTION).build();
}
#Bean
public MongodStarter mongodStarter() {
return MongodStarter.getDefaultInstance();
}
}
How do I get an endpoint test that is annotated with #WebMvcTest to use the embedded Mongo database?

After banging our heads for a while we found the #AutoConfigureDataMongo annotation.
import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.data.mongo.AutoConfigureDataMongo;
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(value = SampleController.class, secure = false)
#AutoConfigureDataMongo
public class SampleControllerTest {
Just annotate your controller with it and you should see org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.mongo.embedded.EmbeddedMongo logs when running this controller tests.
