Profiles

When building QA, there are different profiles you can use to enable different authentication methods and change the underlying database management system.

Profile	Description
Sqlite	Uses sqlite database
Postgres	Uses postgres database
Entra	Enables Entra authentication

Specifying profiles

To run QA with a profile, use the following

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=postgres

To run with multiple profiles, use

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=postgres,Entra

It is also possible to specify the profiles within the application.properties file in src/main/resources. You will need to add:

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=postgres,Entra

Troubleshooting

You may find that specifying the profiles as an environment variables throws an error on Windows. Some common fixes are:

• Surrounding the variable in speech marks. See below:

  • mvn spring-boot:run -"Dspring.profiles.active=postgres,Entra"

• Use -P instead

  • mvn spring-boot:run -Psqlite
