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 activ

Answer 1

You can get the active profiles using org.springframework.core.env.Environment: (Beware, it's Kotlin.)

@Autowired
private val environment: Environment? = null

private fun isProfileActive(name: String) = environment!!.activeProfiles.contains(name)

@Test fun onlyOnOpenShift {
     org.junit.Assume.assumeTrue(isProfileActive("openshift"));
     ...
}

If you have a lot of cases where you would use it (which I would suggest might hint that you're doing something wrongly), then it may pay off to decorate the test method with an annotation like @OnlyIfProfileActive("openshift") and process it with your own JUnit extension, like, implementing org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.BeforeTestExecutionCallback and determine if the method should run. In such case, the environment can be obtained from the Spring test runner.

@Test @OnlyIfProfileActive("openshift")
fun onlyOnOpenShift {
     ...
}

Which, I suspect, is what annotations like @IfProfileValue do. But here you would have more control.

For instance, to make it versatile, it could be an expression evaluated with JEXL or JUEL or such.

@Test @SpringProfilesCondition("openshift && !mockDatabase")
fun onlyOnOpenShift {
     ...
}
