Spring Package | At least one JPA metamodel must be present

I am getting an error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: At least one JPA metamodel must be present!

while trying to run a simple Spring Batch Application.

Relevant code and configuration: -

pom.xml: -

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-batch</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Java configuration: -

/**

@Configuration
@EnableBatchProcessing
@PropertySources({
        @PropertySource("file:${baseDir}/config/properties/amqp.properties"),
        @PropertySource("file:${baseDir}/config/properties/mongodb.properties") })    
public class DelinquencyBatchConfiguration extends DefaultBatchConfigurer {

    @Autowired
    private MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;

    @Autowired
    private StepBuilderFactory stepBuilderFactory;

    @Autowired
    private JobBuilderFactory jobBuilderFactory;

    @Bean
    public PersonItemProcessor PersonItemProcessor() {
        return new PersonItemProcessor();
    }

    @Bean
    public Step step() throws Exception {
        return stepBuilderFactory
                .get("step")
                .Person, Person chunk(10).reader(reader())
                .processor(PersonItemProcessor()).writer(itemWriter())
                .build();
    }

    @Bean
    public ItemWriter<Person> itemWriter() {
        PersonDelinquencyItemWriter writer = new PersonDelinquencyItemWriter();
        return writer;
    }

    @Bean
    public Job delinquencyJob() throws Exception {
        final JobBuilder jobBuilder = jobBuilderFactory.get("delinquencyJob")
                .repository(getJobRepository());
        return jobBuilder.start(step())
                .build();
    }

    @Bean
    public ItemReader<Person> reader() {
        // Mongo based item reader comes here.
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

JUnit: -

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = { DelinquencyBatchConfiguration.class })
public class DelinquencyBatchTest {

    @Test
    public void test() {
        // will trigger the job here !!
    }

}

      

        
        
        
      

    

When starting tht Junit I get this exception: -
