Spring config server with JDBC is throwing Invalid config server configuration error - spring-cloud-config

Question

I want to use JDBC mysql with Spring cloud config server, but always failed, this is what I am doing:
Spring cloud version: Finchley.SR2
In POM.xml
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-jdbc</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Inside the application.config:
spring.profiles.active= jdbc
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/config_db
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=12345
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.platform= mysql
spring.cloud.config.server.jdbc.sql= SELECT `key`, `value` FROM `properties` WHERE `application`=? AND `profile`=? AND `label`=?;
spring.cloud.config.server.jdbc.order=0
spring.cloud.config.server.default-profile=production
spring.cloud.config.server.default-label=latest
Finally, when I start server, I am getting below errors:
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
Description:
Invalid config server configuration.
Action:
If you are using the git profile, you need to set a Git URI in your configuration. If you are using a native profile and have spring.cloud.config.server.bootstrap=true, you need to use a composite configuration.
I am not using git here, why the error is about git url?

Answer 1

I had the same issue when used MySQL.
It seems to be an issue with MySQL JdbcTemplate (look here).
I switched to H2 to store configuration and it works.
I wonder if there any workaround to use MySQL?

Answer 2

I got the same error when I attempt to remove the DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class on start up i.e.
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })
When I just used
#SpringBootApplication
everything worked as expected.
My reason for excluding the class was to stop the auto generation of a password on startup.
