Spring Cloud Configuration Server not working with local properties file

Question

I have been playing around with the Spring Cloud project on github located here: https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config

However I have been running into

Answer 1

Here is what I did:

following https://medium.com/@danismaz.furkan/spring-cloud-config-with-file-system-backend-c18ae16b7ad5

1) !!dont forget your VM options!!:

-Dspring.profiles.active=native

(in Netbeans : configserver->project->properties>Run->VM options

2) Either in application.properties

#spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations=file:///C:/tmp/config

spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations=classpath:/config

or applications.yml

spring:

    cloud:

         config:

            server:

                native:

                    search-locations  : file:///C:/tmp/config
                    #search-locations : classpath:/config

Notes:

n1: search-locations and searchLocations both work

n2: file:/// => hard file path

Like

c:/temp/config/
           app-admin.yml
           app-admin-develop.yml
           .... 

n3: for your profile config files

classpath:/

Like

Other sources/src/main/resources/config/app-admin.yml

n4: I couldnt made file paths work without setting the vm options. Dont forget! Just setting spring.profiles.active=native in your application config does not do the trick for me

n5: example http queries

http://localhost:8998/app-admin/default/yml

gives app-admin.yml

http://localhost:8998/app-admin/develop/yml

gives app-admin-develop.yml
