Profiles from ‘late sources’ are not found

[rodcheater]

Consider an application with smallrye-config-source-file-system on the class path, with SMALLRYE_CONFIG_SOURCE_FILE_LOCATIONS set in the environment to a directory with a smallrye.config.profile file in that directory. The profile mentioned in that file is not added to the list of profiles.

This is expected.

SmallRye Config requires the profile resolution before loading any sources with SMALLRYE_CONFIG_SOURCE_FILE_LOCATIONS. Without the profile at this stage, we cannot determine which sources are primary sources or profile-aware sources from a location, so the profile has to be set from one of the primary sources (system properties, environment variables, or custom user source).

This is not clear in the documentation, so I'll update that:

Yup, updating the documentation would be great. 👍
