Spring cloud config client is not getting/loading configuration files from config server after upgrading to 2.4.0

Question

spring-cloud-config-client is not able to read configuration files from the spring-cloud-config-server after upgrading to 2.4.0 with spring-cloud version 2020.0.0-M6

Answer 1

From spring-boot 2.4.0 version, bootstrapping is not enabled by default, need to add the following dependency in your build.gradle

implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap'

or pom.xml

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

Answer 2

Adding to the application file (.properties or .yml) the property spring.config.import , with this it is not necessary to change/add the project's dependencies

Example:

• To connect with the default location of "http://localhost:8888" or de value defined in the property spring.cloud.config.uri

spring.config.import=optional:configserver:
