Overview

In Spring Framework 7.1, the TestContext Framework will reliably detect all implicit default context configuration within the type hierarchy or enclosing class hierarchy (for @Nested test classes) above a given test class; however, test suites may encounter failures once we make that switch in behavior (see #31456 (comment)).

In order to help development teams prepare for the switch in 7.1, we will log a warning whenever we detect default context configuration that is currently ignored (see #36390).

However, that log message should link to external documentation which contains further details on how to address such issues, and this GitHub issues aims to address that.
