how to run/turn off selective tests based on profiles in spring boot

Question

I have a spring-boot application for which I am writing IT tests.

The data for the tests comes from application-dev.properties when I activate dev profile

Here is what I have for tests:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@WebAppConfiguration
public class ApplicationTests {

    @Autowired
    Environment env;

    @Test
    public void contextLoads() {
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString((env.getActiveProfiles())));

    }

}

ServiceITTest

public class ServiceITTest extends ApplicationTests {


     @value
     String username;

     @value
     String address;

     @Autowired
     MyService myService;


      @Test
      public void check_for_valid_username_address(){
            myService.validate(username,address);
      }
}

I want the above test to run only when I set the profile of "dev","qa". by default, it should not run.

Is it possible to get that fine control in spring boot testing?

Answer 1

You would want to use the @IfProfileValue annotation. Unfortunately it doesn't work directly on the active profiles but it can read a property so if you only define a specific property within the profiles that you want to run the test on then you can use that annotation on that specific property.

http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/integration-testing.html#integration-testing-annotations-junit

Answer 2

It works also with active profiles - there is a property value containing active profiles:

Test only active with specific profile:

@IfProfileValue(name = "spring.profiles.active", values = {"specific"})

Since i have tests that should NOT run if specific profile is active i added this to those tests:

@ActiveProfiles(profiles = {"default"})

It does not work with @IfProfileValue and "default" and i also didn't found any "run if specific profile is not active.

In Spring you can also use the @DisabledIf annotation. It allows for specifying a Spring Expression Language expression. See this blog post for examples.

JUnit 5 also has:

• @DisabledIfEnvironmentVariable
• @DisabledIfSystemProperty
