visibility of src/main/resources/application.properties in test

[V. Sevel]

hello,

an empty src/test/resources/application.properties seems to shadow existing properties in src/main/resources/application.properties

what is the best practice to add/override test properties on top of an existing non empty src/main/resources/application.properties (i.e. without copy/pasting all properties from src/main into src/test)?

thanks

Hi,

You may want to set test profile properties. Check here:

https://quarkus.io/guides/config#configuration-profiles

When running tests, the “test” profile is automatically activated. So you can override any property by using %test.property.name. You can place all of these in the main application properties file.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Roberto

I am not fond of adding test specific properties into the src/main/resources/application.properties

I believe springboot has more flexibility: you can put an application-test.properties in src/test, and it will be merged with application.properties from src/main

one way I was able to do it is by using a programmatic profile and loading an alternate file src/test/resources/application-test.properties myself in getConfigOverrides().

but we do not want users to do this. there should be native support in quarkus for that kind of pattern.

Hi,

There is already some work going to provide more flexibility:

https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/pull/11145

https://github.com/smallrye/smallrye-config/pull/431

The support will be there. Hopefully, soon :)

Cheers,

Roberto
