JUnit 4 test failures after Java 11 (Corretto 11) and Spring 5 5.2.13.RELEASE upgrades, "Failed to load ApplicationContext"

Question

As I mentioned in the title, we are migrating from Java8 with JUnit4&5 mixed and Spring4.3.11.RELEASE to Java11 and Spring5.2.13.RELEASE. I have the following maven version 3.8.1 configured under project/build/plugins sections,

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <release>11</release>
            <compilerArgument>-parameters</compilerArgument>
            <useIncrementalCompilation>false</useIncrementalCompilation>
        </configuration>
</plugin>

Some of our JUnit tests are consistently failing now running with Java 11 & 15. All tests are passing as usual with Java 8. I'd tried with a few approaches, the newer tags without success. Did I miss anything or it is a known issue in the newer Spring with Java11? Here the code snippets and stack traces,

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) 
@ContextConfiguration(classes = { MyTest.TestConfiguration.class }) 
@WebAppConfiguration
public class MyTest {

  private MockMvc mockMvc;

  @Autowired
  private WebApplicationContext wac;

  @Before
  public void setUp() {
    mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(wac).build();
  }

  @Test
  public void testFail() throws Exception {
    mockMvc.perform(get("/rest/../someUrl")).andExpect(status().isBadRequest());
  }

  @EnableWebMvc
  public static class TestConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public MyRestController myRestController() {
        return new MyRestController();
    } 
    // multiple service layer @Autowired beans in the call stack
    @Bean
    public static SomeOtherBeanServices someOtherAutoWiredBeanServices() {
        return null; // or return mock(SomeServiceBean.class)
    }
  ...

RestController,

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/rest/.../someUrl")
public class MyRestController {

@Autowired
private SomeOtherBeanServices someOtherAutoWiredBeanServices;
...

It simply states that `IUserService` is not found as a dependency. Is it available through TestConfiguration? — Bart, Feb 27 '21 at 22:16
But these are prod code (java8), if I reset my IDE to java 8, all still passing fine. \@Service \@Transactional public class UserService implements IUserService — BJYC, Feb 27 '21 at 22:24
Could it be that your projects are being configured as "modules" in your IDE? If so, that could lead to module-path vs. class-path issues for component scanning. — Sam Brannen, Feb 28 '21 at 08:32
Any doc or pointers to read? This might be the bug in spring? https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/21515 — BJYC, Mar 01 '21 at 06:53
Also, see a closed duplicate issue of issue 21515, with sample stack trace (exactly the same in this thread) and a workaround at, https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/18516. This bug is still open. — BJYC, Mar 01 '21 at 18:47
I resolved this issue, but not ideal and it seems a bug in Spring that JavaConfig failed to scan from the base package! I basically declare every service beans in TestConfiguration. — BJYC, Mar 02 '21 at 10:06
