A test using @DataJpaTest fails with an error: "No qualifying bean of type 'UserRepository' available." What is the most probable fix?

AAdd <code>@EntityScan</code> to the test class

BAdd <code>@Repository</code> annotation to the UserRepository interface

CAdd <code>@EnableJpaRepositories</code> to the test class

DAdd <code>@ComponentScan</code> to the test class

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the bean availability error
@DataJpaTest scans for JPA repositories only in the test class's package and subpackages. If UserRepository is elsewhere, no bean is available.
Step 2: Identify the fix
Adding @EnableJpaRepositories to the test class (with basePackages if needed) enables repository detection.
Final Answer:
Add @EnableJpaRepositories to the test class -> Option C
Quick Check:
No repo bean = add @EnableJpaRepositories [OK]

Quick Trick: Add @EnableJpaRepositories for repo scanning in @DataJpaTest [OK]
