Springboot, use application-{profile}.properties

Question

I have created 2 files under src/main/resources:

• application.properties
• application-local.properties

The first one has properties that take values from env variables, while the latter has fixed values.

According to specific here, I've launched spring boot in such way:

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=local

However no effects are produced and application-local.properties seems to be ignored.

Any hints?

Yeah, if you're running with the spring-boot plugin, you have to pass the profile with -Dspring-boot.run.profiles, try

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=local
