How to activate spring boot profile with cucumber

Question

I am looking for a nice way to active a spring profile for my cucumber tests. The cucumber tests need to use a stubbed version of a service which is marked with:

@Profile("test")
@Component
class FooServiceStub extends FooService {...}

The regular service looks like this:

@Profile("prod")
@Component
class FooService {...}    

My requirements:

• Run cucumber tests with mvn: $ mvn test
• Run cucumber tests in IDE
• Run cucumber tests on build server
• No need to use the -Dspring.profiles.active=... argument

Sources I've found but don't solve my issue:

• http://www.baeldung.com/cucumber-spring-integration (using @ContextConfiguration loader with SpringApplicationContextLoader.class which is not present in the latest version of Spring Boot, 1.5.2.RELEASE at the time of writing.)
• programatically set Spring profile in Cucumber (messing with system property)

Answer 1

In more recent cucumber version (6.11.0) you need a class with spring configuration and you have to annotate that one, not the steps definition

@ActiveProfiles("test")
@CucumberContextConfiguration
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class CucumberSpringConfiguration {
}
