"Failed to retrieve PlatformTransactionManager" error when upgrading spring from 4.1.7 to 4.3.2

Question

We have a project that uses version 4.1.7 of the Spring framework. When I change the spring version to 4.3.2, several JUnit tests fail. Example stack trace:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to retrieve PlatformTransactionManager for @Transactional test for test context [DefaultTestContext@497aec8c testClass = TesteMBeanDialogoAtivarSessao, testInstance = br.gov.tcu.arquitetura.test.util.contexto.TesteMBeanDialogoAtivarSessao@3b9632d1, testMethod = testarMBeanDialogoAtivarSessao@TesteMBeanDialogoAtivarSessao, testException = [null], mergedContextConfiguration = [MergedContextConfiguration@64f16277 testClass = TesteMBeanDialogoAtivarSessao, locations = '{}', classes = '{class br.gov.tcu.arquitetura.tu.spring.config.SpringTestConfig}', contextInitializerClasses = '[]', activeProfiles = '{tu}', propertySourceLocations = '{}', propertySourceProperties = '{}', contextCustomizers = set[[empty]], contextLoader = 'org.springframework.test.context.support.DelegatingSmartContextLoader', parent = [null]]].

All these tests run successfully with Spring 4.1.7. They have the following common configuration:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunnerExtended.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {SpringTestConfig.class})
@ActiveProfiles(PROFILE_TU)
@Transactional
@TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback = true)

I replaced @TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback = true) with @Rollback, but the same error persists. What detail (I hope it's a detail :^)) did I miss?

I solve this by add DataSourceTransactionManagerAutoConfiguration.class

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunnerExtended.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {SpringTestConfig.class, DataSourceTransactionManagerAutoConfiguration.class})
@ActiveProfiles(PROFILE_TU)
@Transactional
@TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback = true)
