Fails to run unit test with @SpringBootTest annotation

I have junit test with the following class annotations:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = TestBasicBeanConfiguration.class)
@TestPropertySource(locations = "/cfg/application-junit.properties")

@EnableAutoConfiguration

Running the same test in Eclipse works just fine.

In Intellij IDEA, I get the following errors:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext
