Quarkus unit-testing and properties

Question

I have a basic question about Quarkus testing, I would like to execute the command ./mvnw clean test but I need to use a token to init the application.

I have configured application-test.properties file to store the token:

discord.token=XYZ

So, in my code I was expecting to be able to retrieve the value of the discord.token property:

@ConfigProperty(name = "discord.token")
private String token;

Is it possible? if not, how can I do this?

thanks

Answer 1

The dev profile is used by dev mode (./mvnw quarkus:dev). If you want to define a property for your tests, you need to use the test profile.

You can do that either with a suffixed file as you did (but with the -test suffix i.e. application-test.properties) or use %test. in front of your properties (%test.discord.token=XYZ) in the regular application.properties.

See https://quarkus.io/guides/config-reference#profiles for more information.

You can instead put your application.properties file in src/test/resources instead of application-test.properties in src/main/resources

You can also use mvn -Dquarkus.config.locations=/tmp/foo.properties test
