Spring boot + Docker Compose + Env file

Question

I am trying to set multiple profiles for spring boot via docker using an env file like so

.env file

ENV=docker,test

docker-compose

  environment:
    - spring.profiles.active=${ENV}

this seems to cause spring boot to view docker,test as one string if I don't load the env var it works like this

docker-compose

  environment:
    - spring.profiles.active=docker,test

any ideas on how to fix this?

Can you say a little bit more about what problem you're encountering? An environment variable's value is always a simple string, and the two forms you show should be equivalent; do you have evidence that the application is seeing one differently from the other, or differently from setting a similar environment variable in a non-container setup? — David Maze
