Spring Boot Google Cloud Secret Manager

Question

I followed the instruction on setting secret manager with GCP on Spring Boot , I created a secret in Google Cloud, and added the following in application.properties

spring.datasource.password=${sm://DB_PASSWORD}

It didn't work, however, if I used SecretManagerTemplate , I can get the secret by secretManagerTemplate.getSecretString("DB_PASSWORD");

However, I need the datasource password to be initialized at the beginning of the application, has anyone used secret manager in spring boot?

The problem can be solved magically by changing pom.xml from

    <properties>
        <spring-cloud.version>Hoxton.SR4</spring-cloud.version>
    </properties>

to

    <properties>
        <spring-cloud.version>Hoxton.SR6</spring-cloud.version>
    </properties>
