Using multiple runner annotation in test class for spring-boot and testrail

I have to link my tests with testrail and for that I have to use the testrailrunner. But if I exclude the springjunit runner then my tests fail on starting the service and its not possible to use both the runners

What's a workaround for this so that my tests get inititalize with the service beans and still logg in test rail?

There is no way to have multiple test runners on single unit test, but use can use JUnit rules instead.

Spring introduces support for @Rules in 4.2 (4.2 RC1 is the latest version): https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-7731

I am not familiar with testrailrunner, but if it has no support for JUnit rules, you can:

• implement custom rule for handling testrail
• implement your own runner that handles functionality from SpringJUnit4ClassRunner and testrailrunner
• implement custom rule for injecting Spring context - there are some implementations that are supposed to work with current Spring version: http://www.alexecollins.com/tutorial-junit-rule/ (I haven't tested it).
