I need help in changing TestPropertySource for my integration tests in spring boot
Previously I was using properties which were working fine, now i thought of changing to yaml, because of hierarchical structure and clean.
I am not not able to switch to application-test.yaml for integration tests.
I tried
Spring @PropertySource using YAML
But it didnt work, my test yaml is not getting called
@PropertySource(value = "classpath:application-test.yaml", factory = YamlPropertyLoaderFactory.class)
even changing like this didnt work
@TestPropertySource(properties = { "spring.config.location = classpath:<path-to-your-yaml-file>" }
This below is example of my integration test for globalExceptionHandler which worked fine with properties
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
@TestPropertySource(locations = "/application-test.properties")
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
public class GlobalExceptionHandlerIntTests {
@Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
@Test
@DisplayName("Bad request when invalid data sent")
public void whenPostInvalidData_thenBadRequest() throws Exception {
String invalidDataJson = "{\"name\":\"\",\"email\":-1,\"password\":\"\"}";
mockMvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.post("/signup")
.content(invalidDataJson)
.contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
.andExpect(status().isBadRequest())
.andExpect(jsonPath("$.status").value(400))
...
...
>Solution :
AFAIK the current status of the TestPropertySource is that it does not recognize YAMLs,

Remember that annotations just inject (magical) code, so in the end if the supporting classes of the annotation don’t do what you expect them to do it is a no-no.
I would try to create a profile for your tests (it only changes the way to run it), check this answer
