CAP Java: CSV data in the test/data folder not loaded duirng local testing

Hi community,

According to the capire document, CSV data in test/data folder is loaded by default.

https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/guides/databases?impl-variant=java#providing-initial-data

... next to your CDS model files. When you use cds watch or cds deploy, CSV files are loaded by default from test/data.

However, CSV data in the test/data folder is not loaded during local testing (when running the service with mvn spring-boot:run).

I have tried adding the folllowing setting to the application.yaml and run the application with `mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=test`, but it's not taking effect.

--- spring: config.activate.on-profile: test sql.init.platform: h2 cds: data-source.auto-config.enabled: false dataSource.csv.paths: - test/data/**

I would like to confirm whether I am missing any steps.

Data has been loaded by adding the following configuration to the default profile:

dataSource.csv.paths: - ../test/data/**

Here is the overall configuration of the application.yaml.

--- spring: config.activate.on-profile: default sql.init.platform: h2 cds: data-source.auto-config.enabled: false dataSource.csv.paths: - ../test/data/**
