Springboot and maven: how to launch unit tests automatically with two profiles

You can pass the two profiles separated by a comma:

mvn clean install -Dspring.profiles.active=ems,amq

And then you'll have two active profiles:

The following profiles are active: ems,amq

I think that there is a miss-understanding; It seems that when I run my tests with spring.profiles.active=ems,amq:

• all tests are launched one time
• both profiles are enabled

What I want is different:

• launch all tests TWO TIMES
• first time with ems (and only ems) profile enabled
• second time with amq (and only amq) profile enabled

For the moment, I do not succeed to find a solution; evey clue is welcome

I found a solution for my issue; a kind of trick based on:

• overloading the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner

• redefining the run() method in order to:

  1. call force the use of the first profile
  2. call the origial run() method
  3. do the same with the other profile

public class MultiProfileTestRunner extends SpringJUnit4ClassRunner { ... public void run(RunNotifier notifier) { System.setProperty("spring.profiles.active", "ems"); super.run(notifier); System.setProperty("spring.profiles.active", "amq"); super.run(notifier); } 

Between both calls to super.run() we have to 'force' Spring to reload its context, otherwize the profile change is not taken into account

I did it by using the annotation @DirtiesContext(classMode = AFTER_CLASS) on my tests

You can also specify in the src/test/resources/application.properties specific properties that apply every time Spring tests are run. Seems cleaner to me than specifying them on Maven command line. For your case :

spring.profiles.active=ems,amq
