How do I set up a Spring Data Neo4j integration test with JUnit 5 (in Kotlin)?

Question

Most examples around the Web for doing Spring integration tests with Neo4j are still on JUnit 4, and use the Neo4jRule.

How do we create a setup for Neo4j + Spring + JUnit 5?

Answer 1

If you are testing on embedded, please use the Test Harness with a simple Spring Configuration.

Here are some examples:

I would have an eye on the above ^^ This and test containers will be our way forward.
