Why bootstrap.properties is ignored by spring-cloud-starter-config?

My goal is to get the config for world-service from a config-service.

The architecture:

  1. config-service with dependency spring-cloud-config-server at localhost:8888
  2. world-service with dependency the spring-web and spring-cloud-starter-config.

What I have done:

  1. I have set up the Config Server and send a GET request to http://localhost:8888/hello-service/master and the config server get the hello-service.properties from the config-repo repository. (If you need the config-service's source code, I will push it to this repository.)

My expected result: The world-service use port 8081.

My actual result: The world-service use port 8080.

bootstrap.properties

spring.application.name=world-service
spring.cloud.config.uri=http://localhost:8888

With Spring Cloud 2020, they made a change in how bootstrap works and you have to include a new starter: spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap.

I spent a day on it and finally found a solution. It may help others

You need to add new dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap</artifactId>
</dependency>

According to the Spring Cloud 2020.0

Bootstrap, provided by spring-cloud-commons, is no longer enabled by default. If your project requires it, it can be re-enabled by properties or by a new starter.

To re-enable by properties set spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true or spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true. These need to be set as an environment variable, java system property or a command line argument. The other option is to include the new spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap (in your POM file).

I used the first option and that worked for me.

Spring Boot 2.4 introduced a new way to import configuration data via the spring.config.import property. This is now the default way to bind to Config Server.

To connect to config server set the following in application.yml:

spring:
  application:
    name: APPLICATION_NAME
  config:
    import: optional:configserver:http://USER:PASSWORD@MY_HOST:PORT/

You can see more details in: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/docs/3.0.0/reference/html/#config-data-import
