Play framework console not using custom config

Question

I'm trying to use a custom configuration file to run the tests, but the following command is not working (it still uses application.conf):

play -Dconfig.file=/fullpath/conf/dev.conf test

Is there any alternative solution ?

Answer 1

You can try to use the play id to set an id for your play instance. Based on this, you can access environment specific settings in your application.conf.

For instance:

%dev.application.mode=dev
%prod.application.mode=prod

%dev.application.log=DEBUG
%prod.application.log=WARN
