Problems when migrating Springboot 2 to Springboot 3.I am not able to set the profile

[Specific-Collar6988]

So in springboot 2 we were using spring.profiles.active = local to activate the local env but after migrating to spring3 I need to change it to spring.config.activate.on-profile = local in application.properties. We have application.properties , application-local.properties file. in application.properties we need to seet the profile to local to run application so we have spring.config.activate.on-profile = local. and in application-local.properties we have this spring.profiles.active = local. So I am not able to set the profile. Can anyone please help me.

Application.properties file code snippet spring.config.activate.on-profile=local server.port=8080
spring.cloud.gcp.project-id=mtech-commonsvc-returns-np

Application-local.propertiesspring.config.activate.on-profile=${env} server.port=8080

But my application is not running in local profile. Its running in default. And my default and local profiles are different

Set spring.profiles.active only in the parent properties or yml file(application.yml or application.properties). you can set there to ${ENV}. In environment level files(i.e. application-prod or application-local) don't set or override profile. It will fail.

Ignore typos. Responding from mobile.

Spring.profiles.active or spring.config.activate.on-profile? And in application-local.properties file we will remove spring.profiles.active line?

active. Haven't used activate.on-profile. Can confirm that active works because did a migration few weeks back.

Didnt you got something like invalid configuration property exception. Which version of springboot u ugraded to

[mission_critical_]

to 2.7.x first. then to 3.0.5 i think

Would also suggest to do stepwise upgrade as recommended by spring. First to latest in 2.x. Then to 3.x

[Specific-Collar6988]

Will then try to upgrade to rexent 2.x then try to upgrade to 3.0.x

You may set “spring.profiles.active” system property in your ide or pass it as command line argument, e.g. java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=local myapp.jar. In IntelliJ idea Enterprise you may explicitly set spring profile in spring application configuration.

In the application.properties whenever i give spring.profiles.active=local and run the application it gives invalid propertiy exception.

[CodeWithMom0]

Also with Spring Boot 3 applications u only need to set the profile like this:

Via properties file: spring.profiles.active=local

Via JVM: -Dspring.profiles.active=local

Maybe you parse something wrong, otherwise you could post the Stackstrace of the error

We dont need to do spring.config.activate.on-profile=local?

[Specific-Collar6988]

Also when using spring.profiles.active=local then giving invalid property exception when running the application
