How to integrate a Spring Boot profile with Maven profile?

Question

I am trying to integrate Spring Boot profile with Maven profile but for some reason always the default profile is getting picked up.

mvn clean test -Dspring.profiles.active=prod (WORKING)

Logs:

2019-07-01 17:02:15.013  INFO 21872 --- [           main] com.example.BrowserTest                  : The following profiles are active: prod

Answer 1

In the spring boot application, there are several ways to set profiles (dev, uat, prod, etc.)

For exmaple : You can add this in your property file:

spring.profiles.active=dev

Programmatically:

SpringApplication.setAdditionalProfiles("dev");

To specify what profiles are active, use this line

@ActiveProfiles("dev")

In a Unix environment

export spring_profiles_active=dev

Running the jar file with the dev profile.

java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=dev JARNAME.jar

here JARNAME.jar means your application's jar name

Answer 2

There are two ways：

1. Move src/test/resources/application.properties to src/main/resources/application.properties.

2. Add testResources:

<resources>
  <resource>
    <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
    <filtering>true</filtering>
  </resource>
</resources>
<testResources>
  <testResource>
    <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
    <filtering>true</filtering>
  </testResource>
</testResources>

Answer 3

according to the documentation profiles is a java.lang.String[]

so believe it should be defined:

    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <profiles>
                    dev,prod
                </profiles>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>

have not tested it but i think it is so, you define all profiles you want active (not that i think you want dev and prod active at the same time).
