Annotation @Scheduled Spring check environment

Question

I have a controller annotated with @Scheduled but when the test environment is active it also runs.

It is possible to check the environment in which application is running so that the method is run only in production?

Answer 1

You can create a variable in a test property file to have its test properties separate from "default" (from the file application.properties)

First, we will create the file in the following format, to create a profile (profile) test (tst):

application-tst.properties

Included in this properties file a configuration for you to understand which environment you are in:

ambiente = teste

And in the original archive application.properties, add:

ambiente = producao

So we distinguish the two environments. Now you can run your application using this new profile (tst).

mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.profiles=tst

Or:

java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=tst XXX.jar

Then use the annotation @ConditionalOnProperty:

@ConditionalOnProperty(name="ambiente", havingValue="producao")
public class Schedule {
    @Scheduled
    public class algumScheduler() {
        // código
    }
}

If you prefer, you can use the @ConditionalOnProperty in the method itself also, if you wish.

Answer 2

If there is any table of parameters for the system, you could add the information of the environment and check if it is of production to be able to execute the method. Depending on your scenario this would be a simpler solution.
