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.
