Can't change bootstrap properties location about spring-cloud-config

[dsyer]

Why did you think that was a copy/paste error? What did you do exactly and what did you observe? (I believe there are tests for changing the bootstrap location that work just fine.)

Hi,

we want to change the location of the config server by defining a bootstrap.yml/properties on certain environments. There was no test until now. I addd one in the pull-request with an external bootstrap.properties

Let's assume i have a spring boot application configured with spring cloud config client here:

/opt/portal/portal.jar

which has in the classpath a bootstrap.yml like this:

....
spring:
  cloud:
    config:
      uri: http://localhost:8686/config
....

And i have a bootstrap.properties under /etc/conf/portal with

spring.cloud.config.uri=http://localhost:1234/config

When i change to the directory /opt/ and start from there

java -jar portal/portal.jar --spring.cloud.bootstrap.location=/etc/conf/portal/bootstrap.properties 

it will not be used. I still get the properties from the bootstrap.properties included into the jar.

I fixed line 95 from

        if (StringUtils.hasText(configLocation)) {
            bootstrapMap.put("spring.config.location", configName);
        }

to

        if (StringUtils.hasText(configLocation)) {
            bootstrapMap.put("spring.config.location", configLocation);
        }

Hope this clarifies the problem a little bit.

Cheers
Stefan
