Spring Cloud Configuration Server not working with local properties file

Answer 1

I had the same problem when running the Configuration Server in Mac OS environment. This did not happen in Linux or Windows.

I had the native property set in the bootstrap.yml file like this:

spring:
  profiles:
    active: native

Finally the way it worked for me on the mac was to pass the active profile to the jar file, like this.

java -jar config-server.jar --spring.profiles.active=native

I still don't know why it behaves differently in Mac OS.
