Spring-boot default profile for integration tests

Question

Spring-boot utilizes Spring profiles  http   docs spring io spring-boot docs current reference html boot-features-profiles html  which allow for instance to have separate config for different environments   One way I use this feature is to configure test database to be used by integration tests  I wonder however is it necessary to create my own profile  test  and explicitly activate this profile in each test file   Right now I do it in the following way    Create application-test properties inside src main resources Write test specific config there  just the database name for now  In every test file include    ActiveProfiles  test      Is there a smarter   more concise way  For instance a default test profile   Edit 1  This question pertains to Spring-Boot 1 4 1

Come 2021 and Spring Boot 2 4 the solution I have found is to have 3 properties files  src main resources application yml - contains the application s default props src test resources application yml - sets the profile to  test   and imports properties from  main  src test resources application-test yml - contains test-specific profiles  which will override  main   Here is the content of src test resources application yml    for testing  set default profile to  test  spring profiles active   quot test quot    and import the  main  properties spring config import  file src main resources application yml  For example  if src main resources application yml has the content ip-address   quot 10 7 0 1 quot  username  admin  and src test resources application-test yml has ip-address   quot 999 999 999 999 quot  run-integration-test  true  Then  assuming there are no other profiles     when running tests  profiles test -- ip-address 999 999 999 999 username admin run-integration-test true  and when running the application normally profiles none -- ip-address 10 7 0 1 username admin run-integration-test  lt undefined gt

As far as I know there is nothing directly addressing your request - but I can suggest a proposal that could help   You could use your own test annotation that is a meta annotation comprising  SpringBootTest and  ActiveProfiles  test    So you still need the dedicated profile but avoid scattering the profile definition across all your test   This annotation will default to the profile test and you can override the profile using the meta annotation    Retention RetentionPolicy RUNTIME   Target ElementType TYPE   SpringBootTest  ActiveProfiles public  interface MyApplicationTest      AliasFor annotation   ActiveProfiles class  attribute    profiles   String   activeProfiles   default   test

Another programatically way to do that     import static org springframework core env AbstractEnvironment DEFAULT PROFILES PROPERTY NAME      BeforeClass   public static void setupTest         System setProperty DEFAULT PROFILES PROPERTY NAME   test          It works great

If you simply want to set use default profile at the time of making build through maven then  pass the argument  -Dspring profiles active test Just like     mvn clean install -Dspring profiles active dev

If you use maven  you can add this in pom xml    lt build gt       lt plugins gt           lt plugin gt               lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt maven-failsafe-plugin lt  artifactId gt               lt configuration gt                   lt argLine gt -Dspring profiles active test lt  argLine gt               lt  configuration gt           lt  plugin gt                Then  maven should run your integration tests   IT java  using this arugument  and also IntelliJ will start with this profile activated - so you can then specify all properties inside  application-test yml   and you should not need  -default  properties

You could put an application properties file in your test resources folder  There you set   spring profiles active test   This is kind of a default test profile while running tests

Add spring profiles active tests in your application properties file  you can add multiple properties file in your spring boot application like  application-stage properties  application-prod properties  etc  And you can specify in your application properties file while file to refer by adding spring profiles active stage or spring profiles active prod  you can also pass the profile at the time running the spring boot application by providing the command   java -jar-Dspring profiles active localbuild libs turtle-rnr-0 0 1-SNAPSHOT jar   According to the profile name the properties file is picked up  in the above case passing profile local consider the application-local properties file

Another way to do this is to define a base  abstract  test class that your actual test classes will extend     RunWith SpringRunner class   SpringBootTest    ActiveProfiles  staging   public abstract class BaseIntegrationTest       Concrete test     public class SampleSearchServiceTest extends BaseIntegrationTest        Inject     private SampleSearchService service        Test     public void shouldInjectService            assertThat this service  isNotNull               This allows you to extract more than just the  ActiveProfiles annotation  You could also imagine more specialised base classes for different kinds of integration tests  e g  data access layer vs service layer  or for functional specialties  common  Before or  After methods etc

In my case I have different application properties depending on the environment  something like   application properties  base file  application-dev properties application-qa properties application-prod properties   and application properties contains a property spring profiles active to pick the proper file   For my integration tests  I created a new application-test properties file inside test resources and with the  TestPropertySource     application-test properties     annotation this is the file who is in charge of picking the application properties I want depending on my needs for those tests

A delarative way to do that  In fact  a minor tweek to  Compito s original answer     Set spring profiles active test in test resources application-default properties  Add test resources application-test properties for tests and override only the properties you need

User · Answer

You can put your test specific properties into src test resources config application properties   The properties defined in this file will override those defined in src main resources application properties during testing   For more information on why this works have a look at Spring Boots docs
