`@ActiveProfiles`

@ActiveProfiles is an annotation that can be applied to a test class 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.
