I’m trying to let maven run a single test class but I need to use an additional profile (which in fact is already created). Normally when I run:

mvn clean install -PmyProfile

“myProfile” is being activated. So I tried:

mvn -Dtest=myTest -PmyProfile test

Which resulted in “[WARNING]
Profile with id: ‘myProfile’ has not been activated.”

What am I doing wrong and how can I achieve my goal?

    I cannot reproduce. I have a “sandbox” profile defined in my ~/.m2/settings.xml and the following command just works, without complains:

    $ mvn -Dtest=AppTest -Psandbox test
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building Q3372129
[INFO]    task-segment: [test]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
...

    While using an undefined profile generates the WARNING you’re talking about:

    $ mvn -Dtest=AppTest -Pfoo test
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[WARNING] 
    Profile with id: 'foo' has not been activated.

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building Q3372129
[INFO]    task-segment: [test]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
...

    This begs the question: where is this profile defined?
