Cannot override singleton with scoped proxy [SPR-10744]

[spring-projects-issues]

Mike opened SPR-10744 and commented

For testing purposes, I am trying to override a bean configured as a singleton (in production) by making it a scoped proxy using a custom testing scope. The testing configuration extends the production configuration.

However, this bean is never loaded as a scoped proxy at all! When I apply the test configuration, the bean is always autowired as a singleton instead of (the desired) scoped proxy (regardless whether it's a CGLIB or JDK dynamic proxy).

This has effectively been fixed along with #15620.
