Errors:

• Even the client is not started at all

  http://localhost:8080/

• Error on console:

APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

No spring.config.import property has been defined

Action:

Add a spring.config.import=configserver: property to your configuration. If configuration is not required add spring.config.import=optional:configserver: instead. To disable this check, set spring.cloud.config.enabled=false or spring.cloud.config.import-check.enabled=false.

CodePudding user response：

To use the legacy bootstrap way of connecting to Config Server,bootstrap must be enabled via a property or the spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap starter.The property is spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true. It must be set as a System Property or environment variable. spring docs

CodePudding user response：

After expending too much time I found two approach to fix this issues - Basically we have to make the value of spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled as true by default it is false. This was already mentioned in Spring Cloud doc but I didn't get this point at very first time. After finding the solution of this issue, the point of spring cloud doc has cleared.

First Approach: set the System environment variable in @SpringBootApplicationclass

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
     System.setProperty("spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled","true");
     run(Application.class, args);
}

Second Approach: An entry of dependency into pom.xml, it make spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled

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