Why is spring.profiles.active set in test class not available in environment property of the actual class under test? - spring-boot

Question

Will I be able access enviorment.getProperty("spring.profiles.active") in the class that I am trying to test by setting #ActiveProfiles on Test class,
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(value = TradeController.class)
#ActiveProfiles("test)
class TradeControllerTest{
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#MockBean
private TradeServiceImpl tradeServiceImpl;
#Mock
private ConfigurableEnvironment enviroment;
#Before
public void setup(){
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
}
#Test
public void test() throws Exception{
Mockito.doNothing().when(tradeServiceImpl).getAllTrades(any());
RequestBuilder requestBuilder = MockMvcRequestBuilder.get(new
URI("/getTrades")).accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
MvcResult result = mockMvc.perform(requestBuilder).andReturn(); // calling the
actual class under test
assertEquals(result.getResponse().getStatus(), 400);
}
}
Below is the class, where I am reading spring.profiles.active. It is however, coming null
#RestController
public class TradeController{
#Autowired
private TradeServiceImpl tradeServiceImpl;
#Autowired
private Environment environment;
#GetMapping("/getTrade")
public ResponseEntity<String> getTrade(#PathVariable final String
tradeId){
String profile = environment.getProperty("spring.profiles.active");
}
}

Answer 1

You cannot access the active profile with environment.getProperty("spring.profiles.active"), there is the specific Environment#getActiveProfiles method that returns the set of profiles explicitly made active for this environment. So if you autowired your ApplicationContext ctx in your class you can obtain the set of active profiles like below :
Environment env = ctx.getEnvironment();
String[] profiles = env.getActiveProfiles();
