Profile

Purpose

• We can specify single property file profile using the Profile feature

• This is useful if we want to specify different environment

Implementation

• In automation -> resource directory, we create a directory pertaining to our profile. eg. environment

• We then add the different profile property files, each containing info about the different environments to test on

  • eg. dev.property, qa.property...

Define profile

• We then specify the profile in the properties.property file

• # single config files. prefix: 'config.profile.'. select profile from inside the path
  config.profile.environment = "./resources/properties/environment/"    

  • We prefix the profile with "config.profile" and then the profile name

  • Additional profiles can be added using same syntax

    • eg:

    • config.profile.suite = "./resources/properties/suite/"    

      • Here, we create new profile called "suite"

Specify Profile

• We can the specify the desired profile in Properties.property file

• # environment
  profile.environment = dev

  • Syntax: profile.profileName = profile

  • environment: the profile name we specified

    • config.profile.environment = "./resources/properties/environment/"        

  • dev: The property file containing the profile info. In this case: dev.property
