**As** a developer  
**I want to** run unit test of Spring Boot embedding Flowable without any part of Flowable starting  
**so that** it is not started with Spring context in tests not needing it **and** to prevent errors in test / context shutdown:

```
ERROR [flowable-event-change-detector-1] o.f.e.i.m.EventRegistryChangeDetectionRunnablerun(EventRegistryChangeDetectionRunnable.java:37) Exception while detecting event registry changes

```

org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException: Could not open JPA EntityManager for transaction; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: EntityManagerFactory is closed

In my case I’ve solved it using this properties:

```auto
flowable:
  process:
    enabled: false
  idm:
    ldap:
      enabled: false
    enabled: false
  form:
    enabled: false
  eventregistry:
    enabled: false
  dmn:
    enabled: false
  content:
    enabled: false
  cmmn:
    enabled: false
  app:
    enabled: false

```

and also mocking every flowable component that is injected to my services:

```auto
@MockBean(RepositoryService.class)
@MockBean(TaskService.class)
@MockBean(RuntimeService.class)

```

I’m using flowable version 6.6.0
