Why bootstrap.properties is ignored by spring-cloud-starter-config?

Question

My goal is to get the config for world-service from a config-service.

The architecture:

1. config-service with dependency spring-cloud-config-server at localhost:8888
2. world-service with dependency the spring-web and spring-cloud-starter-config.

What I have done:

1. I have set up the Config Server and send a GET request to http://localhost:8888/hello-service/master and the config server get the hello-service.properties from the config-repo repository. (If you need the config-service's source code, I will push it to this repository.)

My expected result: The world-service use port 8081.

My actual result: The world-service use port 8080.

bootstrap.properties

spring.application.name=world-service
spring.cloud.config.uri=http://localhost:8888

Answer 1

With Spring Cloud 2020, they made a change in how bootstrap works and you have to include a new starter: spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap.
