Use @Profile to decide to execute test class










0















According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/33042872/4106030
we should not use @Profile to let a spring profile decide whether all tests in a test class shall be executed or ignored.



There is stated:




@Profile is used to selectively enable a component (e.g., @Service, etc.), @Configuration class, or @Bean method if one of the named bean definition profiles is active in the Spring Environment for the ApplicationContext. This annotation is not directly related to testing: @Profile should not be used on a test class.




Is this true? If yes then why?

          It's true because @Profile effects Spring components and not connected to Test framework.



          Nevertheless, you can have test profile which will load Spring components ( as Configuration classes) when you running tests



          Example of Test class with profile:



          // load related configuration classes
          @ContextConfiguration(classes = TestConfiguration.class )
          @ActiveProfiles(profiles = "testing" )
          public class MyTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests {

          • But it does work... Can you show what you mean by having a test profile? What I need is just a simple way to decide by a spring profile whether some specific test classes are executed or not.

          • I am very confused because @ActiveProfiles sets the current profile and does not make the execution of tests depending on, if the listed profile is set or not. At least this is what I actually observe to happen and what is also written in stackoverflow.com/a/33042872/4106030
