application.properties outside jar file how to [duplicate]

Answer 1

It doesn't work because you are trying to launch the jar from another folder: spring boot looks for files/folder relative your current folder.

You can:

1) copy application.properties either in ./ or ./config/, relative to your current folder.

2) Or specify -Dspring.config.location:

$ java -Dspring.config.location=target/application.properties -jar target/myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Answer 2

You spelt config as conig, should work if you spell it right.
