Intellij IDEA complains cannot resolve spring boot properties but they work fine

问题

Can not resolve configuration property '...

I have no problem accessing my properties through the @Value annotation or through an autowired Evironment. But all of my own defined properties get this warning in IDEA. What should I be doing to get IDEA to recognize these and not bother me?

In order for IntelliJ IDEA to know your Spring Boot properties, you can define Spring Boot configuration metadata in your project.

Option 1:

If you can use a @ConfigurationProperties-annotated class for your properties, you can add the Spring Boot configuration annotation processor to your classpath and IntelliJ IDEA will generate the configuration metadata for you in target or out:

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-configuration-processor</artifactId>
    <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>

Gradle:

implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor'

Option 2:

Create the configuration metadata file yourself src/main/resources/META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json:

Content:

{
  "properties": [
    {
      "name": "myapp.someprop",
      "type": "java.lang.String"
    },
    {
      "name": "myapp.someintprop",
      "type": "java.lang.Integer"
    }
  ]
}

Options 1 and 2:

In the IntelliJ IDEA tool window of your build system (Maven/Gradle), click the "Refresh" button.

Select Build > Rebuild Project from the menu.

If the warning still appears, you can try to restart the IDE. Select File > Invalidate Caches / Restart and click on Invalidate and Restart.

You turn off the inspection in the IntelliJ Settings.
