Spring Boot @MockBeans - How to use the same beans in multiple test classes

I have multiple security test classes where I am testing authorization to different REST endpoints, and I would like to mock the beans of all the repositories that ApplicationContext will spin up. I have the tests running and everything works correctly, but I'd like to not duplicate my @MockBeans in every security test class.

I've tried creating a configuration class and putting the MockBeans there, but I receive a 404 error.

The current test class is setup like this and it works, but I have to duplicate the @MockBeans() in each class:

@WebMvcTest(value = [ScriptController, SecurityConfiguration, ScriptPermissionEvaluator])
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension)
@MockBeans([@MockBean(ObjectRepository), @MockBean(ChannelRepository), 
@MockBean(ChannelSubscriberRepository)])
@ActiveProfiles("test")
class ScriptControllerSecurityTest extends Specification

I'd like to setup a configuration class like this and use it inside of my test class with @ContextConfiguration(classes = MockRepositoryConfiguration) in the test class.

@Configuration
@MockBeans([@MockBean(ObjectRepository), @MockBean(ChannelRepository), 
@MockBean(ChannelSubscriberRepository)])
class MockRepositoryConfiguration
{}

Try creating a custom meta-annotation as follows:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.Type)
@MockBeans([@MockBean(ObjectRepository), @MockBean(ChannelRepository), 
@MockBean(ChannelSubscriberRepository)])
public @interface CustomMockBeans {
}

And then annotate your test class with it:

@WebMvcTest(value = [ScriptController, SecurityConfiguration, ScriptPermissionEvaluator])
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension)
@CustomMockBeans
@ActiveProfiles("test")
class ScriptControllerSecurityTest extends Specification
