Use system variable in spring boot [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

I have defined a variable in my .bash_profile like this :

export PROFILE=local


Now, I want to get this value in my spring boot application to load different configuration files according to this value.

To do this, I used the annotation @Value but spring can't resolve the value of profile :

@Value("${profile}")
private String environment;


What have I missed ?

EDIT :
This code is launched from a JUnit test inside Eclipse (launched as desktop application)

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

You should add spring.profiles.active: ENV_NAME in your properties file. Or you can pass it from command line using -Dspring.profiles.active=ENV_NAME .

spring.profiles.active: ENV_NAME

-Dspring.profiles.active=ENV_NAME

EDIT:

You can also use Map<String, String> getenv = System.getenv(); to get all the environment variables in your code. Then you'll have access to all env variables.

Map<String, String> getenv = System.getenv();

I don't want to have application-dev.properties, application-prod.properties... because I don't want that api keys or other critical information are on our git repo.

You can use jasypt to encrypt values in properties file. Or you can any way send the same profile name through command prompt using -Dprofile=ENV_NAME and get it using @Value

jasypt

profile

-Dprofile=ENV_NAME

@Value

You can do it with the help of this Environment class.

Environment

@Autowired
Environment environment;


and then

String profile = ((StandardServletEnvironment) environment).getSystemEnvironment().get("PROFILE").toString();


It returns a null value :/

System properties and environment variables are two different things!
