Issue overriding application properties in Spring-boot (profile-specific) application launched with PropertiesLauncher

Question

I\'m having difficulty trying to override a property declared in a profile-specific application properties file on the classpath with another value declared in an overrides file

Answer 1

Thanks, Dave, your suggestion was 100% correct.

If I rename the properties file in /local/appname/dev/overrides to application-dev.properties then the property values from that file do override the ones in classpath:application-dev.properties.

I was sure I had tried this combination yesterday, but I think what must have stopped it working was when I was playing around with specifying the spring.config.location and got that wrong so it wasn't looking for the override file in the right place.
