[1.2.3] [spring-1.0.2] tests do not work when activating spring component scanning

[Géraud]

I have a testing issue while using spring module:

• I first created a new project and ran the 3 simple generated tests; it worked fine
• Then I added a dependency on the spring module :
• I manually installed the plugin (unzipping the module in ${PLAY_HOME}/modules/spring-1.0.2)
• I added the line "- play -> spring 1.0.2" in my dependencies.yml file
• I ran the play dependencies --sync command
• Running tests worked fine again.
• Then I added a simple conf/application-context.xml file (see its content below)
• Running tests worked fine again.
• Then I activated spring component-scanning (adding "play.spring.component-scan=true" in conf/application.conf file)
  
• Then I ran again tests:
• play test
• access http://localhost:9000/@tests
• Here I had the following error:
  Oops: BeanDefinitionStoreException
  An unexpected error occured caused by exception BeanDefinitionStoreException: I/O failure during classpath scanning; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\STS-2.8.0\workspace\play-empty-app\precompiled\java\ApplicationTest.class (Le chemin d'accès spécifié est introuvable)
  (see stack trace below)
  

application-context.xml content:

Question:

It seems that component-scanned packages must be precompiled, but the play precompile command does not take test folder into account...

Did I miss something ?

I face same issue.
Have you find any solution?

No, sorry...

And I did stop trying to use the Play Framework. Not really covering my needs.
