Config server not able to find the remote application file

Question

I'm having issue with referring the application/config file on a config server. I already have a GAIA DEV Pool ready.

This is what I have done so far -

• Created an application.yml file with required config property

  hello-service: message: Hello World From Spring Cloud Config Server

• Checked it in git repo - feature/cs-hello branch.

• Logged in to dev pool cf login -a [dev-pool-url]

• Created the config server : cf create-service -c "{\"git\": { \"label\": \"feature/cs-hello\", \"uri\": \""[GIT HTTPS URL]\", \"username\": \"[USERNAME]\", \"password\": \"[PASSWORD]\" } }" p-config-server standard config-server

Now, my referring [https://docs.pivotal.io/spring-cloud-services/1-4/common/config-server/configuring-with-git.html] - since my config file is not on the master branch, I used label.

Somehow my code is not finding the application file on config server.

Anyone here who can point me a direction?

Answer 1

Once you are done with config server creation, you need to bind that service with your application and you can need to provide following information in bootstrap.yml

spring:
  application:
    name: appName

There is a way to check either your config server is connecting to repository or not. Go to

PCF manager -->Services--> Config Server--> Manage

and then you should be able to see

Config server is online
