Spring-boot version: 2.3.4 It seems this happened since 2.2, there is a stackoverflow post regarding this as well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62409094/springboot-not-resolving-devtools-properties-in-tests

The integration test class was annotated with @SpringBootTest only, no other property configurations added.

Relying on devtools to configure your tests is a bad idea so we've disabled that, see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/5307. I can see that's not explicitly described in the release notes for 2.2 so we should add something about that.

Thanks for asking. It isn’t as this one is about upgrading the wiki.
