New environment based on two existing environments (mdframed, spverbatim)

Question

I would like to define an environment that puts verbatim text using the spverbatim package into a frame defined by the mdframed package. Here's my (naive) approach:

\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{mdframed}
\usepackage{spverbatim}
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{lightblue}{RGB}{240,248,255}

\newmdenv
[
backgroundcolor=lightblue,
hidealllines=true,
frametitlerule=false,
frametitle=,
]{notesx}

\newenvironment{notes}
{\begin{notesx}\begin{spverbatim}}
{\end{spverbatim}\end{notesx}}

\begin{document}

% works
\begin{notesx}
\begin{spverbatim}
Test 1
Test 2
\end{spverbatim}
\end{notesx}

% does not work
\begin{notes}
Test 1
Test 2
\end{notes}


\end{document}

When using the defined environment notes I get the following error:

Runaway argument?
\end{document}
! File ended while scanning use of \@xverbatim.

Using the environment notesx with added spverbatim environment works fine.

EDIT: Using surroundwithmdframed works but when setting this for a custom defined environment \newenvironment{notes}{\begin{spverbatim}}{\end{spverbatim}} instead of spverbatim to have a nicer name it does not work: ! File ended while scanning use of \@xverbatim.

You can use the same idea as spverbatim as I did in Redefine verbatim environment

With the verbatim package you can define a new environment to which apply \surroundwithmdframed.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{verbatim,mdframed,ragged2e}
\usepackage{color}

\definecolor{lightblue}{RGB}{240,248,255}

\surroundwithmdframed[
  backgroundcolor=lightblue,
  hidealllines=true,
  frametitlerule=false,
  frametitle=,
]{notes}

\makeatletter
\def\notes{\def\@xobeysp{\mbox{}\space}\emergencystretch=\textwidth\RaggedRight\verbatim}
\let\endnotes\endverbatim
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\begin{notes}
Something breakable but otherwise typeset @#verbatim#} with special characters accessible
Test 1
Test 2
\end{notes}

\end{document}
