Issue using cucumber-spring with Spring Profiles

[DK]

In my Cucumber Test Class I've set:

```

@ActiveProfiles(profiles = "Development")

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)

```

However, beans in My AppConfig are not getting injected into my Hooks and StepDefs

```

@Configuration

@Profile("Development")

public class AppConfig {

    @Bean

    public String devString() {

        return "Hello Development";

    }

}

```

Bean never gets injected by Spring

```

@Profile("Development")

public class Hooks {

    @Inject

    private String devString;  /// this is null & doesn't get injected

    @Before("@Before")

    public void beforeScenario() {

        System.out.println("devString = " + devString);

    }

}

```

Spring annotations have no effect on Cucumber runner classes. The only classes that cucumber-spring (or other backends of Cucumber-JVM) will know about is Step Definition/Hook classes. So only Spring annotations on those classes can be taken into account. Specifically you need to have a @ContextConfiguration or @ContextHierarchy annotation on (at least) one of the Step Definition/Hook classes, to supply the definition of the Spring context to be used (or you can use a Cucumber.xml file on the base of the classpath to define the Spring context).

@Configuration

@Profile("Development")

public class AppConfig {

    @Bean

    public String devString() {

        return "Hello Development";

    }

    }

}

AFAIK cucumber-spring has not been specifically developed or tested to work with @Profile annotations. It could work, in that case I would say that you need to have the @ActiveProfiles annotation on the same class that have the @ContextConfiguration/@ContextHierarchy annotation so that when the Spring context is created the @ActiveProfile annotation can be taken into account

I did use the @ActiveProfile in my tests, even if I do not remember specifically on which project, and I can confirm it works as expected.
