Introduce ConfigurableEnvironment#addActiveProfile(String) [SPR-8548]

[spring-projects-issues]

Scott Andrews opened SPR-8548 and commented

With ConfigurableEnvironment, it is currently annoying to activate additional profile. You must get the array of active profiles, augment that array, and set the new array back on the environment. If there are ever multiple threads working with ConfigurableEnvironment, it's possible to have a timing issue and changes lost.

I would like to see an addActiveProfile method added to ConfigurableEnvironment.

ConfigurableEnvironment#addActiveProfile(String... activeProfiles)

    Introduce ConfigurableEnvironment#addActiveProfile
    
    Provides a convenient mechanism for activating an additional profile
    while preserving those that are already active, as opposed to
    calling #setActiveProfiles with the contents of #getActiveProfiles plus
    the new profile.
