`@ActiveProfiles`

@ActiveProfiles is a class-level annotation that is used to declare which bean definition profiles should be active when loading an ApplicationContext for an integration test.

The following example indicates that the dev profile should be active:

Java
Kotlin

@ContextConfiguration
@ActiveProfiles("dev") (1)
class DeveloperTests {
	// class body...
}

1	Indicate that the `dev` profile should be active.

@ContextConfiguration
@ActiveProfiles("dev") (1)
class DeveloperTests {
	// class body...
}

1	Indicate that the `dev` profile should be active.

The following example indicates that both the dev and the integration profiles should be active:

Java
Kotlin

@ContextConfiguration
@ActiveProfiles({"dev", "integration"}) (1)
class DeveloperIntegrationTests {
	// class body...
}

1	Indicate that the `dev` and `integration` profiles should be active.

@ContextConfiguration
@ActiveProfiles(["dev", "integration"]) (1)
class DeveloperIntegrationTests {
	// class body...
}

1	Indicate that the `dev` and `integration` profiles should be active.

@ActiveProfiles provides support for inheriting active bean definition profiles declared by superclasses and enclosing classes by default. You can also resolve active bean definition profiles programmatically by implementing a custom ActiveProfilesResolver and registering it by using the resolver attribute of @ActiveProfiles.

See Context Configuration with Environment Profiles, @Nested test class configuration, and the @ActiveProfiles javadoc for examples and further details.
