I'm migrating one of my micro-services to Spring Boot 2.0.0.M6 and I got and error while using the --spring.config.location= option on the command line. The error is the following:

If I don't use the custom property file everything works as intended or use the RELEASE versions. I'm starting the application with the following command:
java -jar application.jar --spring.config.location=app.properties
I notice that when using this option Spring completely replaces the default application.properties from the project, unlike previous Spring versions which just overwrites the properties in the argument file. Is this a bug?
Got a response from the team, apparently this is intended behavior. Trying to know now if there is a way to use the old versions behavior.

If spring. config. location contains directories (as opposed to files) they should end in / (and will be appended with the names generated from spring.config.name before being loaded). The default search path classpath:,classpath:/config,file:,file:config/ is always used, irrespective of the value of spring.
Spring Boot allows you to externalize your configuration so you can work with the same application code in different environments. You can use properties files, YAML files, environment variables and command-line arguments to externalize configuration.
As stated by the Spring team the correct way to use the old behavior from the spring.config.location is to use the new spring.config.additional-location
