`@RecordApplicationEvents` does not work with `@EmbeddedKafka`

[spirosag]

I have a project with spring-kafka where a @KafkaListener receives a kafka record and produces a spring boot application event. I have a @SpringBootTest with @EmbeddedKafka and @RecordApplicationEvents to test this functionality.
Although my event is published correctly it is not recorded.

I am using spring boot 3.2.3 and I was expecting that with #30020 it should record it. Or is the kafka thread created before the test starts so it is expected not to be created?

I have ended using a custom solution with a test @EventListenert and it works as expected but I'd prefer to use the recorded events if possible for simplicity.

I can also provide a sample project with the setup if needed.

hey @spirosag. Even with #30020, it might indeed be the case that the event is published from a thread created too early for the test feature to catch it. If you can confirm this is the case, then @RecordApplicationEvents won't be usable in your case, unfortunately.
If not, please do provide a sample project.
