Affects: spring-test:5.3.23
I'm using spring test for integration testing. Sometimes my application context couldn't be created due to the exception thrown during the bean initialization process.
I expected the test to fail immediately after application context failure. but from the test log, I saw that the application context reloaded for multiples times and make it hard to debug. (we have some stateful component which couldn't be initialized twice and last context failure reason may not be the root cause)
in org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener#prepareTestInstance and org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.SpringBootDependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener#outputConditionEvaluationReport spring test try to access the application context and tirgger the context loading.
I expected that the component would only be loaded once and then fail the test. but it runs for multiple times:

Comment From: sbrannen
Hi @coney,
Thanks for raising your first issue for the Spring Framework. 👍
This is a duplicate of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/24888.
Note, however, that the issue will be addressed in Spring Boot 3 in conjunction with https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/31793.
In light of that, I am closing this issue.
