Bean Creation Error

I am getting this error if run any test:

2025-07-28T21:44:18.729+05:30 WARN 11340 --- [midas-core] [ main] o.s.w.c.s.GenericWebApplicationContext : Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'kafkaProducer' defined in file [K:\FORAGE\forage-midas-t\target\test-classes\com\jpmc\midascore\KafkaProducer.class]: Unexpected exception during bean creation

Likely Causes

1. In unit tests, you usually don’t want to use real Kafka but mock it or use an embedded Kafka broker (like with spring-kafka-test).
   2.1 Missing Kafka configuration in {application-test.yml} or {application.yml}.
   2.2 Properties like {bootstrap.servers}, {key.serializer}, {value.serializer}, etc., may be missing.
2. If you're running unit tests, and not mocking KafkaProducer, Spring tries to load it like in a real app context.
3. If KafkaProducer has some logic in static blocks or constructor (e.g., reading a file, connecting to Kafka), that fails during test context startup.
