Method loading in Spring Boot even though it's not specified in Spring Boot Profile

Question

I have a method that I don't want loaded in my Local Spring profile. The method is

@Profile("prod")
@Scheduled(initialDelay = 1000, fixedDelay = 21600000)
public void updateHackalistHackathonData() {
...
}

I have created an application.properties' , application-local.properties' and application-prod.properties file in the same location src/java/resources . In application.properties , I mentioned spring.profiles.active=local .

However, this method which is a scheduled one still goes into execution. How do I stop this?

Answer 1

You need to add @Profile("prod") annotation on class (bean) definition not method itself. Eg:

@Component
@Profile("prod")
public class HackatonScheduler{
    @Scheduled(initialDelay = 1000, fixedDelay = 21600000)
    public void updateHackalistHackathonData() {
        ...
    }
}
