Spring Cloud Config Server - empty array for refreshed keys

Question

I have a spring cloud config server as in this repo And a client in this repo following is my POM file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        </plugins>
    </build>

</project>

application.yml of the config server

server:
  port: 8081
spring:
  application:
    name: cloud-config-server
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        monitor:
          github:
            enabled: true
          gitee:
            enabled: true
        git:
          password: ${PASSWORD}
          username: ${USERNAME}
          uri: https://github.com/Ali-Wassouf/springcloudconfigrepo
          search-paths: '{application}'

The config repo that this server serves has the following structure

.
+-- serviceA
|   +-- application-dev.properties
|   +-- application-prod.properties
+-- serviceB
|   +-- application-dev.properties
|   +-- application-prod.properties

I have a webhook configured for the config repo. I also have a rabbitMQ image running locally.

When I push my changes to the config repo I get these line on the console

o.s.c.c.monitor.PropertyPathEndpoint     : Refresh for: *:prod
s.c.a.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext : Refreshing org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext@2c943d8f: startup date [Mon Nov 23 18:55:19 CET 2020]; root of context hierarchy

o.s.cloud.bus.event.RefreshListener      : Received remote refresh request. Keys refreshed []

The array of Refreshed keys is empty I tried changing to an older version of Spring Boot/Cloud, as well as a newer version, but this didn't work.

I have seen questions similar to my case but non of them had any answers.

Answer 1

The problem was in the client, it's missing spring cloud config as well as the dependency management for spring cloud. Adding this dependency to the client code

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

and adding this dependency management as well

<dependencyManagement>
       <dependencies>
           <dependency>
               <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
               <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
               <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
               <type>pom</type>
               <scope>import</scope>
           </dependency>
       </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Solved the issue.
