Running Spring boot via IntelliJ run configuration

Question

I have a small Spring boot application version 1.3.3 in IntelliJ 2016.1.2 Whenever I run the application via the command-line with mvn package && java -jar target/build.jar I can access the webapp without any problems. However, when I use a Spring Boot run configuration, the applications is started successfully, but when I go to the webapp, I always get the message 'GET' is not supported.

I recall that I searched for this problem some time ago and it was a known bug in the IDE that also appeared in Eclipse. But I cannot find those posts anymore and therefore cannot access the solution.

Can any of you guys help please?

Thanks in advance. Regards

1. Check if application.properties (yml) file inside "Working directory" of IDE run configuration. Or define it explicitly in IDE run configuration with spring.config.location property.

2. Check app startup logs whether declared request mappings appears, like so
