In my case, in IntelliJ, I used a different profile. So choosing a dev profile in my case, solved an issue.

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
