Springboot placed application yaml files in resources/config/ folder, while running the JAR it is not able to find the resources

Question

My Project Structure

AssemblyProject
 |-src/main/java
 |-src/main/resources
   |-config
     |-application-prod.yml
     |-application.yml
     |-application-stage.yml
 |-build.gradle

I am able to generate JAR file. and trying to execute below command from the JAR file location

java -jar assembly-services-1.0.0.jar --spring.config.location=classpath:config/ --spring.profiles.active=stage

Extracted JAR as well

I am getting below Error

14:43:15.924 [main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed
org.springframework.boot.context.config.InvalidConfigDataPropertyException: Property 'spring.profiles.active' imported from location 'class path resource [config/application-stage.yaml]' is invalid in a profile specific resource [origin: class path resource [config/application-stage.yaml] from assembly-services-1.0.0.jar - 38:13]

Note : I know this is repeated question, But I have literally gone through all past stackoverflow questions related to this topc, but sadly no luck !

Answer 1

The problem I can see is you must have provided active profile in your application-stage.properties as well. You need to remove it. According to spring boot documentation:

So in Spring Boot 2.4 we're planning to make two significant changes to the way the properties and YAML files are loaded:

Documents will be loaded in the order that they're defined.

Profiles can no longer be activated from profile specific documents.

If you still want to use legacy configuration you need to provide spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true to your application.properties
