Spring boot could not resolve placeholder in string

Question

I am running spring-boot on an embedded tomcat server through maven with mvn clean install spring-boot:run. But every time I run it I get this error:

Answer 1

If the above changes in pom.xml file still doesn't solve the problem try below option.

Add the @PropertySource annotation at the top of your class

@PropertySource(
    {
            "classpath:/application.properties",
            "classpath:/${spring.profiles.active}/application-${spring.profiles.active}.properties"
    }

)

If that still doesn't solve try adding the following annotation

@EnableAutoConfiguration
