Spring doesn't resolve #{systemEnvironment['NAME']} in application.yml

When I specify a plain absolute path in the application.yml everything works, but when I try to replace the project home directory with a value of environment variable, it's not working. 

spring:
  profiles:
    active: native
  cloud:
    config:
      discovery:
        enabled: true
      server:
        native:
#          searchLocations: file:#{systemEnvironment['PROJECT_HOME']}/backend/cloud-config/{application}
          searchLocations: file:/temp/pets/backend/cloud-config/{application}

In runtime the unresolved value (file:#{systemEnvironment['PROJECT_HOME']}/backend/cloud-config/some-service) is passed into org.springframework.cloud.config.server.environment.NativeEnvironmentRepository#getLocations, and 

if (isDirectory(value)) {
    output.add(value);
}

obviously isDirectory(value) returns false and eventually Spring's spring.config.location= is empty.

PS:
Used: spring-cloud-config-server-1.2.2.RELEASE

PROJECT_HOME=/temp/pets
Solution

  • SpEL is not supported in application.yml; you can, however, use property placeholders. Use ${PROJECT_HOME:unspecified}/... (where unspecified will be used if the environment variable is not set.
