Spring profiles and testing
Looking at Biju's answer I found a working solution.
I created an extra context-file test-context.xml
:
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:config/spring-test.properties"/>
Containing the profile:
spring.profiles.active=localtest
And loading the test with:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@TestExecutionListeners({
TestPreperationExecutionListener.class
})
@Transactional
@ActiveProfiles(profiles = "localtest")
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath:config/test-context.xml" })
public class TestContext {
@Test
public void testContext(){
}
}
This saves some work when creating multiple test-cases.
The best approach here is to remove @ActiveProfiles annotation and do the following:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@TestExecutionListeners({
TestPreperationExecutionListener.class
})
@Transactional
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath:config/test-context.xml" })
public class TestContext {
@BeforeClass
public static void setSystemProperty() {
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("spring.profiles.active", "localtest");
}
@AfterClass
public static void unsetSystemProperty() {
System.clearProperty("spring.profiles.active");
}
@Test
public void testContext(){
}
}
And your test-context.xml should have the following:
<context:property-placeholder
location="classpath:META-INF/spring/config_${spring.profiles.active}.properties"/>
public class LoginTest extends BaseTest {
@Test
public void exampleTest( ){
// Test
}
}
Inherits from a base test class (this example is testng
rather than jUnit
, but the ActiveProfiles
is the same):
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:spring-test-config.xml" })
@ActiveProfiles(resolver = MyActiveProfileResolver.class)
public class BaseTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests { }
MyActiveProfileResolver
can contain any logic required to determine which profile to use:
public class MyActiveProfileResolver implements ActiveProfilesResolver {
@Override
public String[] resolve(Class<?> aClass) {
// This can contain any custom logic to determine which profiles to use
return new String[] { "exampleProfile" };
}
}
This sets the profile which is then used to resolve dependencies required by the test.
Can I recommend doing it this way, define your test like this:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@TestExecutionListeners({
TestPreperationExecutionListener.class
})
@Transactional
@ActiveProfiles(profiles = "localtest")
@ContextConfiguration
public class TestContext {
@Test
public void testContext(){
}
@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:/myprops.properties")
@ImportResource({"classpath:context.xml" })
public static class MyContextConfiguration{
}
}
with the following content in myprops.properties file:
spring.profiles.active=localtest
With this your second properties file should get resolved:
META-INF/spring/config_${spring.profiles.active}.properties
