Spring未知属性'spring.cloud.config.server'

Question

I am attempting to connect to a git config server in my spring project following the example below in an eclipse IDE

https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/Camden.SR5/

However I am running into issues being able to resolve the properties needed as eclipse is not able to recognize the server property in my bootstrap.yml (unknown property 'spring.cloud.config.server')

spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      *server*:
        git:
          uri: .....config_server.git

I have included all the dependencies listed in the example above (spring-cloud-dependencies, spring-cloud-starter-config, spring-boot-starter-test) however I still receive the error.

Is there limitations as to when this property can be used? Or is there an additional dependency that is needed?

Answer 1

First of all, is it just Eclipse doesn't see server and you can run it from command line with no errors? In case if it's just Eclipse it could be just wrong indention or tabs. Eclipse is not so smart sometimes.

• Try to set it all to plain application.properties file.
• Try to run it from command line

Also, I think you have to add credentials section for git + encrypted or not.

Here is valid example of YML that works fine in STS Eclipse: https://github.com/zobarov/spring-cloud/blob/master/edu-springcloud-configserver/src/main/resources/application.yml

Answer 2

This was added to the question by the OP and has been moved here.

Turns I just needed to add a spring-cloud-starter-config-server dependency. Not sure why it did not get pulled in by by the others but that did the trick.

Answer 3

here is a small example of how we use it using the spring cloud config:

bootstrap.yml

spring:
  profiles:
    # this will tell spring to pick the correct profile file
    active: sheba

  # u must specify your application name for it to be found in the git repository!    
  application:
    name: OpscI2aClient

  # now we telling our git client where to locate our config files
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        bootstrap: true

        git:
          # this the full uri to our repository where the config file
          # wich its name is ApplicationName-profileName.yml
          # are found
          uri: https://some.company.git.com/config/config-repo.git
          username: someGitUserName
          password: thePasswordOfTheGitUser
          # clone the whole config repository on startup
          the whole files in the repository are cloned!
          clone-on-start: true
          # this tell spring the name of the local repository directory
          # which in this case it shall create a directory called git_local
          relatively to where the application started
          basedir:
            git_local

so, assuming you have a git repo, it must contain a file OpscI2aClient-sheba.yml

this file is just a simple spring boot configuration file, however, should not contain active profile entry. that is it.

Just to clarify: Assuming the application named OpscI2aClient have two profiles, dev and prod, your git configuration repositoty should actually contain, two files: 1. OpscI2aClient-dev.yml 2. OpscI2aClient-prod.yml

Hope this helps.

I am just adding the POM in which you might find some hints as well
