Spring cloud, config server can not start, how to config uri for git

Question

I am pretty interested in spring cloud project and now I am testing it, but blocked immediately.

1. In POM: I added this dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

2. For main application:

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableConfigServer
public class SpringConfigServerApplication {

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

So based on the documentation, I just need to add enableConfigServer , then I tried to start it, this is the error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'environmentRepository' defined in class org.springframework.cloud.config.server.ConfigServerConfiguration$GitRepositoryConfiguration: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to configure a uri for the git repository

So, how can I config a uri for git repository? There is nothing mentioned in the documentation.

Thanks for more clarification

Answer 1

Our example is here . The configuration from application.yml looks like this:

spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        git:
          uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo

Answer 2

I had the same issue and it was resolved when I set the profile in application.yml file as below:

spring:  
 profiles:   
  active: native

Answer 3

Adding this solves issue

in yml

spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        git:
          uri: https://github.com/user/microservices-central-config-repourl.git
          clone-on-start: true
          default-label: main

OR

in property file

spring.cloud.config.server.git.default-label=main

About this serious problem, all you need to do is clean your maven repository and update it one again. That's worked for me !!
