I have a git repo and I created a config folder inside it. Now in my spring-cloud-config server application I am trying to point it to config folder.
The configuration is as below:
spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri: https://github.com/test/tes-service/
spring.cloud.config.server.git.username=test
spring.cloud.config.server.git.password=test
spring.cloud.config.server.git.search-paths=config
But this configuration does not seems to be working. Is this the correct way to do it?
Comment From: spencergibb
Looks right, though we document searchPaths, but spring-boot should accommodate for that.
Comment From: dsyer
Works for me. Maybe you could link to a sample project with a real git repo so we can take a closer look.
Comment From: jonnybbb
Works for me with this sample https://github.com/jonnybbb/config-repo.git for app2 as well. Any reason why not supporting a deeper subdirectory structure like in app1 for picking up configuration files with an AntPathMatcher pattern?
Comment From: dsyer
I don't see a compelling reason to do deeper directory searches. It's complicated by the fact that you don't control the order of the search any more (e.g. which should take precedence, app1/application.properties or app1/src/main/resources/application.properties?).
Comment From: jonnybbb
Good Point! Agree.
Comment From: akkannabiran
As per our design, we are maintaining the configurations like below. config/application.yml config/aat/application.yml config/uat/application.yml
searchPaths: config,config/aat
Is it possible to load the configuration for aat environment from config/application.yml and config/aat/application.yml?
Comment From: gsugambit
i had this same issue when i changed spring cloud versions. the root cause seems to be the change from searchpaths to search-paths.

What If I want to maintain different directories, per client ? it would make sense to have different folders under one repo and use each for different clients.. Also, the way we specify searchPaths at config-server, how about the ability to specify it from client? This is what I am trying to do with no success so far :)
Comment From: dsyer
Most people switch to different repo per client when they run out of road with a single search path. I don’t think we would ever support clients setting a search path on the server (it reveals too much about the implementation), but open a new issue about the search path if you want patterns (like we already support in the repo URI).

Can someone please help in finding why this kind of directory structure is not working for configs https://github.com/tjrekha/configs.git
I have the below in bootsrap.properties in config server. tried with application.properties as well
spring.cloud.config.server.git.searchPaths='{application}/{profile}' server.port=8888 spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri=https://github.com/tjrekha/configs.git
the configs located in the root is working. the configs under client1 isn't working. can someone let me know what am I missing
Below is the pom.xml for config server
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
http://localhost:8888/test/dev - working

Please use StackOverfow for usage questions. It reaches a bigger and more specific audience. When you do that you might want to explain “doesn’t work” a bit more clearly.

It can be solved as following :
Suppose you have in your config repo properties for multimple services organized in folders: properties organized in folders
Then, your config file for config server looks like this :
server:
port: 8888
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri:[git repo]
search-paths:
- billing-service
- shipping-service
This way you can organize all the properties in one central config repository and tell spring config server in which folders to look for properties
Comment From: gitmykeul
Hi,
I would like each microservice to read properties from 4 property files, meaning for a service called "myService" with profile "dev", I want to be able to read from the following Git folders:
- config/myService/application-dev.yml (specific config for this service and this profile)
- config/myService/application.yml (specific config for this service no matter which profile)
- config/application-dev.yml (specific config for dev profile no matter which service)
- config/application.yml (shared config no matter which service, no matter which profile)
I tried several patterns in search-paths but when I start myService, it reads everything except the last one: application.yml from the root folder (config/application.yml)
Here is my config: ```spring: application: name: config-server cloud: config: server: git: uri: ssh://git@xxx:7999/qi/athena.git clone-on-start: true search-paths: ',{application},config/{application}, config/, config/' #search-paths: '{application}' #search-paths: 'config/{application}'
It seems the **_Sharing Configuration With All Applications_** does not work as expected:
[https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/multi/multi__spring_cloud_config_server.html#_sharing_configuration_with_all_applications](url)
For info I am using Finchley.SR2 version.
Thank you.

Hi,
If we have same properties under different folder
like
ms-one
|--- application.properties
|--- application-prod.properties
|--- application-dev.properties
ms-two
|--- application.properties
|--- application-prod.properties
|--- application-dev.properties
we have define search path in spring cloud config bootstrap file
spring.cloud.config.server.git.search-paths=ms-one,ms-two
Now we have to load profile in client application then how we can load the profile?
I have define
spring.application.name=application
spring.profiles.active=dev
but how to define which folder.
Advance in thanks :)
**Comment From: sarang85**
Hello @deepsharma951, @dsyer
It can be solved. The trick is to give search-path {application} without quotes as given below. It was a little tricky as spring documentation mentions it as '{application}' , probably spring developers just wanted to highlight it with quotes.
In spring cloud server add below mentioned search path-
spring.cloud.config.server.git.search-paths={application} instead of spring.cloud.config.server.git.search-paths='{application}'
This sets the search path(on server side) equal to the name of client application name .
now if your microservices/applications- they should have spring.application.name as below
spring.application.name=ms-one
and
spring.application.name=ms-two
they would be looking the properties file within their respective folders of ms-one and ms-two.

Hi,
The properties file was getting read when I configured to access git using username and password.
But when I changed it to SSH access, the properties file is not detected.
**Config Server properties snippet**
Username and Password
spring: application: name: ConfigServer cloud: config: server: git: uri: https://github.com/vineethmaller/springboot-configrepo.git username: vineethmaller password: * clone-on-start: true search-paths: - 'ws_user'
SSH
spring: application: name: ConfigServer cloud: config: server: git: uri: git@github.com:vineethmaller/springboot-configrepo.git clone-on-start: true search-paths: - 'ws_user' passphrase: ***** private-key: | -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED ....... ....... -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ```
Does anybody what changes to make when using SSH?
