[FIXED] Azure DevOps maven task profile

Issue

I use the Maven task in Azure DevOps Pipelines. I need to activate a concrete profile, but I don't understand how to do it. I try to pass a profile in 'options' and in 'goals' but it doesn't work. How can I activate a profile correctly?

- task: Maven@3
  displayName: maven_project_profile
  inputs:
    mavenPomFile: 'my_project/pom.xml'
    options: '-DskipTests=true -P someprofile'
    goals: 'clean deploy -p someprofile'
    publishJUnitResults: true
    testResultsFiles: '**/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml'
    testRunTitle: 'fixBypassService'
    javaHomeOption: 'JDKVersion'
    jdkVersionOption: '1.8'
    mavenVersionOption: 'Default'
    mavenAuthenticateFeed: false
    effectivePomSkip: false
    sonarQubeRunAnalysis: false

I can see in logs:

2020-01-13T08:45:13.1695224Z [command]/usr/share/apache-maven-3.6.2/bin/mvn -f /home/vsts/work/1/s/my_project/pom.xml -DskipTests=true -P someprofile clean deploy -P someprofile

But the profile 'someprofile' isn't activated in reality.

Solution

I was wrong. A profile is activated correctly if you pass it e.g. in goals:

- task: Maven@3
  displayName: maven_project_profile
  inputs:
    mavenPomFile: 'my_project/pom.xml'
    goals: 'clean deploy -P someprofile'

I couldn't see a result of activating because there were issues of accessing some resources inside an agent but this is no matter for the current post. Everything works correctly.

EDIT: the flag is capital P
