java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/annotation/MergedAnnotations$SearchStrategy

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/annotation/MergedAnnotations$SearchStrategy

最后是修订了spring-test的版本解决了这个问题，将spring-test的版本由5.x降为4.x

at org.junit.internal.builders.AnnotatedBuilder.buildRunner(AnnotatedBuilder.java:104)

public Runner buildRunner(Class<? extends Runner> runnerClass,
        Class<?> testClass) throws Exception {
    try {
        return runnerClass.getConstructor(Class.class).newInstance(testClass);
    } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
        try {
            return runnerClass.getConstructor(Class.class,
                    RunnerBuilder.class).newInstance(testClass, suiteBuilder);
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e2) {
            String simpleName = runnerClass.getSimpleName();
            throw new InitializationError(String.format(
                    CONSTRUCTOR_ERROR_FORMAT, simpleName, simpleName));
        }
    }
}

runnerClass对象继承了Runner
而runnerClass为SpringRunner类型（spring-test下），springRunner继承了SpringJUnit4ClassRunner，SpringJUnit4ClassRunner继承了BlockJUnit4ClassRunner，BlockJUnit4ClassRunner继承了ParentRunner，ParentRunner继承了Runner

在执行spring-test中的at org.springframework.test.context.support.TestPropertySourceUtils.buildMergedTestPropertySources(TestPropertySourceUtils.java:74)

static MergedTestPropertySources buildMergedTestPropertySources(Class<?> testClass) {
    MergedAnnotations mergedAnnotations = MergedAnnotations.from(testClass, SearchStrategy.TYPE_HIERARCHY);
    return mergedAnnotations.isPresent(TestPropertySource.class) ? mergeTestPropertySources(mergedAnnotations) : MergedTestPropertySources.empty();
}

因为会实例化MergedAnnotations对象，而你的springboot版本过低，不存在java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/annotation/MergedAnnotations$SearchStrategy

所以最好的解决方案降低spring-test的版本，这里我选择降低到4.3.18.RELEASE

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.18.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
