No qualifying bean of type found for dependency in test class

I have a spring boot application that has a test class as following:

@ContextConfiguration(value = {"classpath:integration/flex-allowcation-assignment-test.xml"})
public class FlexAllowanceAssignmentServiceIntegrationTest extends AbstractSecurityAwareIntegrationTest {

    @Autowired
    private FlexAllowanceAssignmentTestUtils assignmentEndpoint;

    @Test
    public void shouldReturnFailureResponse() {
        // Given
        String message = randomString();
        UserStub user = userBuilder().build();

        // When
        FlexAllowanceServiceResponse response = assignmentEndpoint.assign(message, user);

        // Then
        assertThat(response).isEqualTo(FAILURE);
    }
}

, The FlexAllowanceAssignmentTestUtils class is:

public class FlexAllowanceAssignmentTestUtils {

    private final FlexAllowanceAssignmentGateway flexAllowanceAssignmentGateway;
    private final JacksonWrapper jacksonWrapper;

    @Autowired
    public FlexAllowanceAssignmentTestUtils(FlexAllowanceAssignmentGateway flexAllowanceAssignmentGateway, JacksonWrapper jacksonWrapper) {
        this.flexAllowanceAssignmentGateway = flexAllowanceAssignmentGateway;
        this.jacksonWrapper = jacksonWrapper;
    }

    public FlexAllowanceServiceResponse assign(String message, UserStub user) {
        Message<String> requestMessage = MessageBuilder
                .withPayload(message)
                .build();
        Message<?> response = flexAllowanceAssignmentGateway.assign(enhanceWithSecurityContext(requestMessage, user));
        String payload = (String) response.getPayload();
        return jacksonWrapper.fromJson(payload, FlexAllowanceServiceResponse.class);
    }
}

, and the flex-allowcation-assignment-test.xml file as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <bean class="com.orbitbenefits.benefitsselection.server.employee.flexallowance.FlexAllowanceAssignmentTestUtils"/>

</beans>

When trying to run the FlexAllowanceAssignmentServiceIntegrationTest, I get the following exception:

How come it can not see the bean declared in the config class- or shall I better declare that elsewhere? Or could that be failing because it doesn't have dependencies (FlexAllowanceAssignmentGateway and JacksonWrapper)?
