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

All my code is here https://github.com/spencergibb/communityanswers/tree/so27131143

src/main/java/Application.java

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableConfigServer
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

src/main/resources/application.yml

spring:
  application:
     name: myconfigserver
  profiles:
     active: native

my:
  property: myvalue

src/main/resources/myapp.yml

my:
  otherprop: myotherval

To get the properties for an app named myapp, do the following.

curl http://localhost:8080/myapp/default

{
     "name": "default",
     "label": "master",
     "propertySources": [
          {
                "name": "applicationConfig: [classpath:/myapp.yml]",
                "source": {
                     "my.otherprop": "myotherval"
                }
          },
          {
                "name": "applicationConfig: [classpath:/application.yml]",
                "source": {
                     "spring.application.name": "myconfigserver",
                     "spring.profiles.active": "native",
                     "my.property": "myvalue"
                }
          }
     ]
}

Answer 2

Using spring.profiles.active=native is that what Spring documentation seems to suggest, but I couldn't get it to work either. My application.properties file is

server.port=8888
spring.cloud.config.profiles=native 

but the response from the URL

http://localhost:8888/config-server/env

is

{"name":"env","label":"master","propertySources":[{"name":"https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo/application.yml","source":{"info.url":"https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples","info.description":"Spring Cloud Samples"}}]}

which indicates that native profile was ignored and the server still considering github as property source.

A small additional problem I encountered is the config service default port. According to the Sprin Cloud Config documentation it should be 8888. If I remove server.port=8888 from my application.properties the config server starts on port 8080 which is default Spring Boot port, but not the one config server should use.

Answer 3

I had the same issue on my local machine, but it works fine on my remote server.

@Oreste's answer does work for me. So I checked the error log again, And I found

 2018-06-25 16:09:49.789  INFO 4397 --- [           main] t.p.a.s.api.user.UserServiceApplication  : The following profiles are active:  someProfileISetBefore

So, the root reason for my case is I set an environment variable before, but I forget to remove it. And it overrides the application properties files config.

Hope you guys won't make the silly mistake like me. Fixed by:

 unset spring_profiles_active
