Spring boot and @PactBroker is not working as expected with system properties

See original GitHub issue

In Spring Boot you can provide an application.properties/application.yml file that contains system properties and environment properties.

I use some of the system variables in my test

PactVerificationTest.java

@RunWith(SpringRestPactRunner.class)
@Provider("someprovider")
@IgnoreNoPactsToVerify
@PactBroker(
        protocol = "https",
        host = "${pactbroker.host}", port = "${pactbroker.port}",
        authentication =  @PactBrokerAuth(username = "${pactbroker.auth.username}", password = "${pactbroker.auth.password}")
)
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT)
public class PactVerificationTest {

    @TestTarget
    public final Target target = new HttpTarget(50519);

    @MockBean
    private EmailController emailController;

    @Before
    public void beforeTests() {
        doNothing().when(emailController).sendEmail(any(Email.class));
    }

    @State({"default", "extra"})
    public void toDefaultState() {
        System.out.println("Now service in default state");
    }
}

And then I name these variables in the configuration file

application.yml

pactbroker:
  host: "my.host.name.org"
  port: "443"
  auth:
    username: "myusername"
    password: "mypassword"

Unfortunately this does not work and I get a RuntimeError java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not resolve property "pactbroker.host" in the system properties or environment variables and no default value is supplied

So it seems as it wont read the variables.
