Spring not detecting application.properties-CodePudding

Spring is not detecting my application.properties in the config folder. The config file: (Sensitive Information hidden)

server.port = 8090
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://${MYSQL_HOST:URL}:3306/DB
spring.datasource.username=USER
spring.datasource.password=PW
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
debug=true

Folder structure:

Server.java

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Server {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication application = new SpringApplication(Server.class);
        application.run();
    }
}

I tried putting the properties in he top and resources folder, nothing seems to work. If I try to load it via VM options it says resource not found. The config folder is marked as resource folder in IntelliJ

CodePudding user response：

application.properties file should be located in the resource directory.

I think I figured the problem out, the folders are fine, I configured the wrong home directories for each main. It would have been better to make two different projects. Example: Old home directory: /home/.../github/AzChat/src/de/united/azchat/ Now: /home/.../github/AzChat/src/de/united/azchat/server/ Folder Structure now:
