Spring boot (confg client) application doesn't pick bootstrap.yml

I’m creating a spring boot config client application. I’ve been referring to various online material - I’ve already referred to most of it. Im using STS. The application simply doesn’t pick up the bootstrap.yml at all. I should see the config from bootstrap file being loaded here - http://localhost:8080/env. I see entries only from application.yml, but not bootstrap. I verified my Config server is running (http://localhost:8888/trial1client/default/master) using correct GIT. Following is my POM

Well, here is the solution, that worked for me -

1. Add following to POM <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency><groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId> <version>Camden.SR5</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement>

Don’t ask why, just do it because it worked 😃 2. Remove following from POM - <spring-cloud.version>Dalston.SR3</spring-cloud.version> from <properties> Something similar to that in in <properties> Don’t ask why, just do it because it worked 😃 3. If you are using local file system for GIT then make sure you add ‘/.git/’ to the path e.g. spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri=C:/stswork/workspace-sts-3.9.0.RELEASE/trial1/src/main/resources/.git/ Sadly, none of the docs suggest to add ‘.git’ in the path URI.

What you need to check out for -

1. Make sure none of your annotations show any warning sign in your IDE, that tiny ‘!’ causes trouble
2. Config server logs - check for message similar to following, to check client specific config file you have created - NativeEnvironmentRepository : Adding property source: file:/C:/…/trial1client.properties
3. Config client logs - check for something similar to following indicating client is able to pull the config

c.c.c.ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator : Fetching config from server at: http://localhost:8888 2017-09-27 15:46:42.443 INFO 9696 — [ main] c.c.c.ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator : Located environment: name=trial1client, profiles=[default], label=master, version=232a66a62c89105653c00167de79784c44f55844, state=null 2017-09-27 15:46:42.443 INFO 9696 — [ main] b.c.PropertySourceBootstrapConfiguration : Located property source: CompositePropertySource [name=‘configService’, propertySources=[MapPropertySource {name=‘configClient’}, MapPropertySource {name=‘C:/stswork/workspace-sts-3.9.0.RELEASE/trial1/src/main/resources/.git/trial1client.properties’}]]

The Solution is to add bootstrap dependency in pom.xml

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

With Spring Cloud 2020, they made a change in how bootstrap works and you have to include a new starter: spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap. Refer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65063402/why-bootstrap-properties-is-ignored-by-spring-cloud-starter-config
